Funny thing is though last week I was having trouble getting it just right and I had a group of 5 people swim for about three hours and it actually improved the situation. I am contributing this to the fact that 3 adults and 2-8 year old kids can move more water around than a 1 horsepower pump could in a week or so. By the way I keep a close eye on the water conditions. Test daily and when I think things are going south I like to test morning and evening.
Congratulations on staying ahead of your pool water. It's the best way to keep your pool in perfect condition.

An FC of 3 with a CYA of 30 is a little on the low side so this should be the minimum FC level you test at the end of the day. Since you may lose up to half the FC amount during exposure to sunlight each day, this would mean you would have to start in the morning (or the previous night) with an FC of about 6 to end up with 3 at the end of the day (unless you use a pool cover or have less than direct and intense sunlight exposure).

You are correct that having people in the pool can improve the circulation, but I would expect that to mostly affect "corners" or areas away from the inlets where circulation might be poor.
