Why is it bad to keep FC lower than the recommended levels? Let's say my minimum recommend is 5, but I keep it at 2.5 and my water is crystal clear. Why would I want to being it up to 5?
Don't you mean "inconvenience"?Purely for convenience. Go ahead and keep FC at a minimal level. You’ll be adding chlorine a couple times a day. If you keep it higher, you have more time in between dosing.
All I do as far as chemical is I pour about six cups of Walmart's Pool Essentials Chlorinating Liquid nightly. Do I also want to throw "shock" on a routine basis?How are you currently chlorinating your pool? Do you currently throw in bags of pool store "shock" on a routine or weekly basis?
My CYA is 60, pH is 7.5, and TA is 80.What is your current CYA level?
I am new at this, but over the past month I got a feeling that it is easier to keep FC above 2.5 than above 5 in terms of how much bleach I put and how often I do it. If I have an 18,000-gallon pool, how much would you say I am expected to spend on bleach monthly during summer?Why do you want to run at a lower level?

Pool builds at $40K? What century are you living in?
Cheapest one I've seen lately lurking in the builds forum is $60k. Yikes!
