plan to hook up my air compressor to the drain plug on my pump to blow air to clear pipes for closing my pool. My question is this. On the suction side, I have 1 skimmer, and 1 drain. My jandy valve allows me to either have the Skimmer on/drain off, drain on/skimmer off, or both ON. I do...

But my OCLT is .6 to .8. It finally got hot here. Like HOT. And my pool is in direct FULL sun from 10AM until dang near sunset. First couple weeks of the season I was going through 3.5-4 ppm of chlorine a day. The last week or so I bring it up to 8 in the evening. (55-60 CYA). Next morning...
