    I've been using the chart. Right now I'm at 5ppm FC and 70ppm cya. I guess I'm a tad low, and I could bump the swcg up maybe 10 points to 60%. Thanks for the input on the shock; seemed suspect to me to need to shock if I'm not growing anything in the pool.

    With a SWCG FC levels a bit less than the chart work well. 4-5 ppm is perfect for a CYA of 70 to 80 ppm. Most salt pools never need shocking anyway.
