Hi all,
I've been using the "Chlormaker" SWCG for a couple of months now and it's been awesome. Absolutely no issues. With my size spa--smallish at 285 g--"setting 3" has been rock steady at 2.5-3 ppm FC; and "setting 4" puts it always at 4-5ppm.
My CYA is 30, as calculated by dichlor additions after a fresh fill.
With the FC at 3, I'd say we don't notice any chlorine at all. At 5ppm we do notice it verrrry slightly, particularly as an odour on the skin after getting out.
I see that with SWCG pools, the recommended CYA is 70+.
I'm considering trying to bump up my CYA even though it's a covered spa. I know that "buffers" the FC, but does it affect the post-soak feel/odour?
I don't see any recommendations for CYA levels in SWCG spas--am I missing them somewhere? Thanks!
