    well, i'm up to 83 degrees on the pool (85 on my heater..i'm told there's about 2 degrees difference between heater temp and temp read at pool surface) . i didn't run the autopilot at all today until i got home. the air temperature was about 85 at peak. took the cover off..no bubbles even though pump and heater had been running since i went to work at 5am..i swam the first swim of the season..lovely.. i can taste a bit of a salt taste, smell a bit of a chlorine smell but nothing as strong as using bleach or pucks (i commented to my son that you can smell your skin right after it dries and it smells kind of fresh/clean but not that strong smell from regular chlorine. the water was clear and silky. i turned on the autopilot for one hour at i'm not sure what level..2nd output light up and 8 presses of the raise button (so maximum indicator before it would go to the 3rd light up. within 5 minutes, white bubbles start forming..not nearly as many as the day before but...so i'm wondering if i just live with that and that's the way it is? lower my output to only one light and monitor chlorine? i didn't do a kit test again today but i would imagine given i had the cover on and 60 cya level that it's still way up there if it was 15 yesterday..but don't know if dissipation of the existing chlorine would make a difference..i just didn't expect so many bubbles..today, switching the surface skimmer only, on cleared them in about 4 minutes after i turned the autopilot off.

    hmm..so, ran the autopilot, heater and pump for the most part today at one full light concentration. it auto compensated at some point today up to the 2nd light (don't think it's a full 4 clicks of that light though) zero bubbles. weird..
