    Default Is this FC too high for a saltwater pool?

    Have a Pool Pilot Total Digital SC60 set to power level 2, pH to 7.5, ORP is set to 700; but mostly stays at 650 between 11am to 3pm when the pump runs. GPM is 55. Pool size is 10,000 gals (32 x 9.5). Taylor readings except Borate and temp.

    Love this unit, I wish I had gotten one 12 years ago but then again had no money.

    FC 8
    pH 7.5
    Alk 100
    Borate 50
    Calcium 280
    CyA 40
    Salt 3000
    Temp 88

    Pool is crystal clear.

    Pool is covered with a clear bubble as trade winds (16 mph to 26 mph
    ) reduce the temperature considerably.

    Eyes sting a little after 20 minutes. Only remove cover when I swim 7pm to 8pm. There seems to be no negative affects to plaster or stainless.

    Is this FC too high for a saltwater pool? And is ORP or FC a better gauge of how well sanitized a pool is? Am I keeping the pool cover on too long every day; can it therefore have a negative effect?
