I found this place after being a new pool owner and have a Mustard Algae problem. This chart helped me out after trying all kinds of goop that this not work. It made me confident I can handle any issue relating to algae or cloudiness.

I find it easier to see the relationship in graph format. I know this site moved to plug in your numbers and get your directions but this allows you to understand better IMHO. I made this for my garage wall for my families reference even though I am the pool boy.

Totally open to edits or criticism. I did not come up with or create the data. Just got the info from this site and plugged it into excel.

My next rabbit hole is a SWG.

We added a range to the SWG chart. Unless you have a honking oversized system and add your daily FC only during peak loss hours, swgs swing too. Some only run overnight and they have full daily swing high to low like a LC pool. Those who run 24/7 and produce over half their FC in low/no loss times swing less, but still swing. The name of the game is to never fall below target range at your daily low point. That allows for some wiggle room when unplanned FC loss events happen such as a particularly high UV loss day, a big storm or an impromptu get together.
