Opening Pool
Ok. Opened my pool on Monday. Water was crystal clear. Got my FC up to 5ppm this morning and then tested. Here are my results. https://troublefreepool.com/mypool/vZmj5B5 The CYA test seems so arbitrary that it makes me feel as if my am doing something wrong. I am somewhere between 60 - 100...- Megarms

FC 3-9 ppm?
Owned a pool at my prior home and used the Pool Math app to manage my levels. As I recall, the recommended FC level was 1 - 3 ppm. Fast forward a couple of years, we moved and built another pool.
