    Ok. So, even though a chlorine reading of 10ppm is a little high for a pool with CYA less than 30ppm, (unless you are shocking the pool), it will come down on its own. Low CYA pools don't hang on to chlorine very long on hot sunny days.

    Nothing to worry about. If you swim today while the chlorine is at 10ppm, just wear an old swimsuit. It won't hurt you at all.

    Thank you Watermom. My 9 year old is so excited to get in the pool. Too cold for me, it's only 69 degrees. We placed the solar cover on last night and it kept the temperature from last nights reading. Hubby is hooking up the solar panel as I type.

    69 is way too cold for me, too! You'll be surprised how fast the solar panel will warm the pool up especially with also using the cover. Have fun!
