Hi. I purchased a new home last month on 11/24. The previous owner was a TFP member who introduced me to this site. I've been checking the water regularly. I've yet to add any chemicals. I have an SWG and the pool is 12000 gallons. My FC levels continue to rise while my PH, CYA and Alkalinity have remained pretty consistent. My FC level today was 13. I've turned down the SWG a couple of times but the FC continues to rise. I see that most sites recommend a much lower FC level, but the previous owner told me he would regularly keep the FC levels between 9-11. Between the rising FC levels and the conflicting information regarding my pool's recommended levels has me confused. Any help or guidance on what I should do would be greatly appreciated.
