    You can leave your T/A and pH where it is. Chlorine is more effective at lower pH levels and you do have some CC and, because of the copper, cannot raise FC much. So leave pH at 7.1 and get the most bang for the buck. Raise it when you actually start swimming.

    Thanks for the input Carl. I will do just as you suggest. The water is up to 62 degrees now and warmer weather expected tomorrow so the heat pump will be working even more efficiently, hopefully swimming by the weekend.

    Finally got warm again here in NH, well, around 75 anyway. The water was up to 80 so the kids and I enjoyed some time in the pool. The water has cleared beautifully since my last post, although I need to stay on top of my pH constantly as it loves to drop. No big deal though as Borax is plentiful enough.
