Hi all,
I’m sure this has been discussed before, but after diligently searching the forums (I read through several old threads), I couldn’t find a clear answer! Sorry if I missed it somehow.
My daily FC loss is 2-3ppm (it’s rarely 1ppm, on low use/low sun days, and it’s rarely 4ppm on high use/high sun days). We’re going away for a week. Is there a reason I should NOT take my SLAM level, then add an additional 17.5ppm’s worth of bleach (7 days x average daily loss of 2.5ppm = 17.5ppm loss per week), and then add enough bleach to get it to that level right before we leave? So if my target FC for a SLAM is 18, I’d add enough bleach right before leaving to get the pool to 35.5ppm FC. Then when we got home I’d expect the FC to be right around SLAM level. We don’t expect anyone to use the pool when we’re away.
I suspect there’s something I don’t understand about FC loss (maybe it’s not linear), but… I’m excited to learn!
Thanks
