    Checked your weather forecast...Haverhill will be sunny and hot next couple days. Your fc losses will be higher. Saturday is looking good.

    Cool. Will the solar cover slowdown the FC loss? Also, what is an acceptable FC level to swim in?

    A solar cover shouldn't make much difference.

    You can swim even at shock level with no problems. Just don't want to wear your best swimsuits that might fade.

    Doing good. Levels are fine, I shocked it and cleared it up about a month ago.

    Trying to get the most of it before the winter. We just started to get some more 80+ days so I'm trying to heat it up with the solar cover.

    Thanks for asking
