FCl was maintaining the last couple of weeks at 0.5 drop per 24 hours. Decided to close with high water temp because of high winds last year and a stretch of light wind days this year. Added a gallon of bleach to be safe. Water and pool bottom ended very clean.

APC Cover Care performed maintenance on the cover. Lowered the whole mechanism about an inch, made a few other adjustments. Done in under an hour. Rec'd (1) can or jar of mothballs at each end of the drum for chipmunks (2) keep the cover open 1/2 hour after adding chlorine (3) have them back for general maintenance every other year.

Ran aerator for over 7 hours. TA was only slightly lower so doubled the MA. Pump was maintaining prime till it was stopped to clean the strainer. Raised speed to 1800 and still not keeping the pump window full. Put low (was 1600) and med at 2200. Reduced high speed fromm 2800 to 2500 to reduce the SWCG output.
