    Just an update. Am keeping fc around 3.5 although it does dissipate rather quickly.
    TA 130
    Ch 90
    Ph 7.4
    Cya 40
    Water temp avg 86 has been as high as 92 in the past few weeks.

    =======================================

    Lol I hit enter before I was done. Am mobile. Should I raise any other levels to slow the loss of FC or is it just the high temp that I'm contending with. Also I have to raise pH every other week

    we have had a day or 2 of rain. filled the pool about an inch a few weeks back. no other chemicals that I am aware of. I believe MIL is following my directions now.
    only bleach @ %12 concentrate and Borax being added

    If the TA of your fill water is lower than 130, then dropping your TA down to the 80-90 range may help stabilize your pH. If the TA of the fill water is 130, though, I wouldn't bother since it would be a never-ending battle to keep it low.

    You can also raise your pH with aeration--putting in a fountain, or a pool full of splashing kids?
