Speaking Of Free Chlorine Levels.......

Where is a good spot to keep the free chlorine before and during a soak????

Normally I keep it at 4-5ppm FC.....and soak at nearly that level....then add some chlorine after the soak.

I am almost OCD about making myself or other sick....but is this too high???

I have read that some soak at 1ppm FC and then add after the soak....but if you do that....won't your FC bounce to zero at times??? If so....isnt that really really bad?

thanks for the info...

Here's my opinion.

If it's just me and the misses, I'll let it drop to 1ppm without worry. However, if I have quests, I won't let it drop below 3ppm. 4-6ppm is fine.

Remember, if you have 20-30 ppm CYA, even 10 ppm FC is less Active Chlorine than a public indoor pool.
