    I don't know why I said "lower pH" I knew that it didn't do that. DAH!!
    Thanks Richard,

    I checked my pool test log spreadsheet from last year and the year before that and I see where we had a very minimal amount of pH rise last year unless there was rain or "rug rat" activity, but then it seemed to stabilize without acid addition. I will watch it for a while to see where it goes.

    I will be discontinuing the use of the Bleach pump for a couple of weeks while I use some pucks to get the CYA up to 30. Right now it is below the capability of my test equipment but I believe it is around 20 ppm. If the pool is uncovered all day the FC depletion goes to around 3-4 ppm so I think a bit more CYA will be in order.

    Thanks for your thoughts on the pH, after searching and finding a lot of pools getting several pints a day, I do not feel too bad.

    By the way, NO!! I do not add anything surrepticiously that Jakebear is unaware of (See post #8).

    I value my life

    I also use Firefox 2.0 on Linux and the links display just fine.

    Amir,

    Just for the heck of it, I duplicated the FC.htm file and changed the name to FC.html so see if this link is accessible. If it is, then Firefox on the PC requires the extension to be "html" instead if "htm". Let me know.

    Richard,
    yes, the link was accessible. you are right it needs html. I guess 90% of the world uses IE so I am used to finding a way around or going to IE when nothing works.
    Thanks

    Thanks Amir. Well, I think this should be logged as a bug against Firefox on Windows. I could change all the HTML files I've uploaded, but would need two versions so as not to break old links. I think getting Firefox fixed would be better, especially since it works on Mac OS X and Linux. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Richard
