Target Help Pool MAth

Why is the target for FC so much higher than what we want it to be? (If my suggested FC level is 3 why am I targeting 5-7?

Thanks!

SO that with the expected, normal daily loss of 2-4ppm, your FC will still not be so low that algae can take hold.

Because you will lose some to sunlight and swimmers every day. You don't want FC to drop below the minimum before you next add. If you target 5 and in 24 hours you're at 2, then you need to target 6 instead. You'll just have to test and monitor things for a couple weeks to learn your pool's unique personality. The y key is to always stay above minimum.
