Greetings! I installed a ridiculously huge solar heater and now my pool hits 90-92F easy. My cya is 30 so I maintain 6ppm chlorine, but I’m not sure that is sufficient to keep my water bacteria free. Is there a chart to show me what I need to follow that takes temp into account to keep things safe. I feel like I need to follow spa guidelines Thanks!
Chlorine at high water temps. Keeeping water safe.

Follow the [FC/CYA][/FC/CYA]. Water temperature does not matter in the range you will get into the pool.
The pool might use more chlorine at those temps, but the range is the same as Marty said. You might need to keep the top end a bit higher than you use to, make sure you test often to see if the pool uses more chlorine.
Just be more diligent at keeping the fc up. My pool runs between 90 and 95 all year without incident. Things seem to happen faster at 95 than 85 and people have more impact. How big is your pool?
