    20 is the target. Just checked 15.5 after all day in the sun. Dropped a gal of 10% in. Daytime shots just for coverage. Patience virtue and all that. :)

    yeah thats what ive been doing when i vacuum, but i always seems to find a place ive missed previously. SLAM is going better than i expected, FC only dropped by 2 this morning to 16. :-) the used chlorine was only at 0.5 just time now for clarity.

    Tradional above ground, It will rise if given enough time. I wish I had a pic of it currently as I said I'm not not fussed about it being super clear right now. We didn't have a cover so I knew it was going to be a bit of work to get going this year. My expectations are low, slow and patient...
