Re: What is the temperature of your pool now?
I've hit 23.5C.... but right on queue the f*&ker has gone green and filled with algae again!
(I seem to have a choice - leave the cover off and have a clear, pristine, chemically balanced but freezing pool - or put the cover on and let it warm up to somewhere close to usable, but have it a nasty sludgy green mess!
- I HATE my pool!)

- I HATE my pool!)I threw 2 bags of salt in a few days ago, and a cup of chlorine in yesterday and the water's looking lovely and clear today, will get it checked over the weekend to be sure, but all good from what I can see.

Mine was 16 degrees- I went in yesterday as I'd got really hot from gardening. Did two laps and got out again. Brrrrrr!

One more week of our pool then we're moving. Suppose I had better clean it before we leave!

Ours was up to 19 today. I've put the cover back on so 
it's warm up a bit over the next week or 2.

Currently 22C, and the water is looking lovely and clear with it ... 
Haven't checked the water with the pool shop for ages so will take a sample in over the weekend.

Hopefully warm enough to get in on Sunday. It's forecast to go up to 34 here so may want to open the pool this weekend.

Re: What is the temperature of your pool now?
Got it up to 19 degrees two days ago thanks to the newly refurbished gas heater. Took 2 hours!! (about $6 worth) Then I went in for 20 mins- mostly cleaning it, but a few laps, chasing the leaves as the gums hurled them in the water. DD and her friend spent 30 mins paddling and chatting.
It is back down to 17 today.
