white spot

Not all fish can cope with raising the temperature to those levels and indeed Discus still seem to manage to get whitespot even at those temps.
There is also "import spot" which is temperature resistant....for the sake of £5 I'd rather easily treat with a med than subject fish to added stress of high temps :)
Import ich is code for our medicines don't work. Only ever heard of in dosing instructions.
 
I've sorted things with king british, the cardinals did not make it though.
Corys, pleco and SAE have recovered.

I agree with @MirandaB on this.

There are strains that are heat resistant and require temperatures of about 92F/33C or higher to start to kill it off.

There are studies going back to the 1990s showing heat resistant strains even back then.
