A heat wave hit Kansas this week bringing with it the 100's - today is forecast for 110 - what happened to the 90s to get us used to the heat
I love our SWG and up until this week my FC has been wonderful and staying at a constant 4 or 5 with a CC of .5 when I test around 6 PM with daytime temps in 80s and low 90s. Thanks to you all I've got my CYA at 80 and other than trying to get my pH down which I'd planned on working on this month (from the tap we measure 8.2) I've not struggled with our crystal clear pool...until this week.
Today will be day 3 in the 100s. Our pool is losing chlorine - could it be due to the AMAZINGLY hot temps this week? The pool is pretty much in the blazing sun from 11 AM to 7 PM. Day 1 of the 100s was Sunday FC was at 1 so I bumped the SWG from 4 hours to 6 hours. Day 2 105 or more - Monday I was still at a 1 so I bumped it to 12 hours. Today's is forecast is 110! So far it's nothing but 100's in the 7 day forecast UGH!
Is there anything else I should be doing? Though I don't have the other numbers (they are at home) they have been and continue to be constant.
