Punta Gorda, FL (SW FL)
Started SLAM Sunday as we were losing Chlorine daily, and SWG couldn't keep up.

Can't pass OCLT, but water is very clear. Losing 2-3 ppm nightly, but 0 CC
Had bad rain last night added 2" of rain water to the pool. Thus diluting what I had already in there.
Topped off this am, reading was 28, added to get back to 31
CYA = 80, so I'm keeping FC above 31

I'll be home today, so I can monitor and keep FC level intact, Mn - THursday no one was home during day, and we'd lose 10-12 ppm during the day. Its been very sunny and warm here too.

What do I do before leaving town? Boost FC way up? I've been using Kreepy Krawly every night for 8 hours, pump has been on non-stop.

Thanks for the help.
 
Bump new issue

Didn't get an answer to my question, so I bumped FC to 45 for weekend, and left town

Came home to FC of 22.5 and CC of 6.
CYA = 80, and I see some little bugs floating on surface, so we will have to use the net to scoop those out.

We've never had a cc reading before, and now its 6

Evidently our going high killed off something right?

Am going back to SLAM level of 31, and brushing again.

Anything else to do?
