I am still trying to wrap my head around FC. What is FC and what isn't? Is FC the sum of all free chlorine ions in solution so FC = HOCl + OCl + Cl? And just to ask outright: what does the color indicator FC drop test measure exactly?
I take it there is no direct measure of HOCl (the sanitizing form of Cl) so we need to know our pH, temp and CYA levels to estimate the sanitizing % and lifetime of HOCl (i.e. from the graphs in the water chemistry section)?
Thanks!
