After a half mile, I bagged the swim and went home to finish my swim tethered to the super swim pro (which is nice, but not the same as swimming in a regulation 25 yard pool). The sports pools can get pretty nasty this time of the year with the masses of people participating in group activities while drenched in suntan lotion.

Depending on which Hayward package your pool company puts in, the chiller can be part of the package.
In my app the chiller has set points, just like heat. I didn’t think we would use it, but I am so happy chiller is part of our equipment options when I want to turn on. Yesterday I programmed auto Chill to keep temp at 79.
I am using liquid solar cover, which kept my winter temp loss of about 3-5 degrees overnight, even when temps dropped below 45.
Not sure how the cover will help for summer but am keeping stats for the first year.
I will say the product “Pepper” has maintained my ph levels, and cell has stayed very mineral free for longer than i expected. My swim pro is still up north, so I have reverted to my old tether. Not as efficient, by mile 4 I just listen to music and no longer care.
