    Has it been cloudy in Manitoba? That would do it.

    (Also, cooler water temps slow chlorine use . . . and I'm guessing your pool's water is not at 30 deg C!)

    It's been alternating between sunny days and cloudy\rainy days. Pool is definitely not at 30 deg C. More like in the low 20's.... we haven't had a good stretch yet where the water can warm up. They say starting tomorrow we may get it though, about 5 days straight of sun and hot temps. Hopefully it happens but they said the same thing last week too.

    Cold water + lots of clouds will definitely reduce chlorine consumption.
