Picking up where this thread left off, I did SLAM the pool to target FC 28 ppm per the table. I was able to maintain that with no additional chlorine after a few days. With the SWG off FC dropped to 14 ppm by Dec. 20. As we were leaving for the holidays, not wanting to come back to a problem...

I have not been taking the cover off; I did not realize it was necessary. Thanks. The water is 73 now never gets below 68 here. - - - Updated - - - The pump was not running overnight. I do not see that in the OCLT instructions. I was not aware it should be on. - - - Updated - - - Pump was...

I was told I could get a heat pump that cools as well as heats. I did not.

SWG is already at lowest setting so reducing pump time is really my only option.
