That sounds warm compared to my pool, mine is still 62. Hopefully the parts I need to get my heater back up and running will be in soon.

Sorry for the OT post.

I have been trying to get my TA down for around two weeks, and it started at over 230, and as of now, it is around 180, I lowered the PH again to around 7.2, and I have the jet pointing so it blows just out of the water. This raises the PH naturally, and by lowering the PH and the TA together with the Muratic Acid, I am slowly lowering the TA. This is my first year tending to the chemicals in the pool, and I am glad I found this site, so far so good, the water has been perfectly clear and balanced except for the TA, which nobody really notices, so I get the added benefit of looking good.

Oh, and today, our water was 95, to hot for me though, had to turn the heater down. lol.
