Bartier Disinfection Index

[mwsmith2]

Any views on this index (link below)? If it is useful?

Well, there is a relationship between pH, temp, Cl and CYA. It's true as CYA and pH climb, the 99% kill time increases. Is this one correct? Who knows, I'd have to check in to it further. Ben might be able to provide some insight.

If so can Ben's excellent calculator for CYA be adjusted for shocking?

Well, first off, it's not Ben's calculator, it's mine. (unless you are refering to his "best guess table, of course) Until this Bartier index is proven out, I'm not putting it in. I'd just hate to steer people in the wrong direction. The basic idea is consistent with the actual science I've seen, but I'm just not sure how consistent it is.
