Using your robotic cleaner while SLAMing

[Smiles79]

My pool is finally about back to normal. I have a CYA of 50 so my FC for SLAM has been 20. Is it safe to use my Dolphin with this high of chlorine?

your robot is tougher than you. If it’s safe for humans to swim, it’s safe for robots (up to and including SLAM level based on the FC/CYA Levels ). To be extra cautious you could rinse it real good every couple of days but a week or so shouldn’t matter.

Thank you! Now that the water is pretty clear again I'm excited to stop using the manual vacuum...

RTM. Mine says not to use it in chlorine higher than 4 ppm. I take that to mean not to leave it in high chlorine water. I rinse mine thoroughly each time I use it and never leave it in the pool. It's your robot. You pays your money; you takes your chances.

The manual/manufacturer follows industry guidelines that don’t follow the CYA relationship. It’s safe for the TFP way.
