Yep, should have divided drops by two not multiplied by three I don't know where I got that from either. I thought that it was a lot fewer drops than last season to get to the goal Thank you very much

Thanks for your advice, but my problem was operator error. I put in the 26 oz of MA as two 12 oz cups and 2 oz However, since a cup is only 8oz, ... ... ... PH reading was probably too high for the reagent hence the "error" reading :-( - - - Updated - - - Yes, I actually ahh-some'd three...

OK So I refilled, and ahh som'd my "spa" and now I'm trying to get the chemistry correct again. I had shock level of bleach in it and found that the PH test (R-0014) turned magenta I uncovered the spa for about four hours in full sun and sanitizer levels went to ~0 I used PoolMath to get my...

A nice simple easy to understand post and I have to come along two years later to say that I think it is wrong. :( I have to convert with 2.25 so I can tell it FC. 0.5 / 2.25 = .222 (I enter .222 into Pool Math, FC, "Now" box) You should have stopped there. You have your Bromine reading...

I was wondering what to do with the Ahh-some water. ?? :-( The directions tell me, somewhat oddly, that it is septic tank safe but then say not to put it into inside or outside drains. So what other kind of drains are there? So I was wondering if I dumped it onto my grass: would it kill the...

Not an expert on this and your question is about heating cycles so this is somewhat Off-Topic, but. If I lived where it was somewhat cooler, I'd get a big piece of plastic. One large enough to cover the tub in all directions right down to the ground and 2-3 feet beyond. The I'd get some 4x4s to...

Hi I was at the pool store today buying some R-0012, probably cheaper on line but I needed it today, and as I was waiting in line I heard that the people ahead of me had a high phosphate level and that it was caused by rain.??? I know that rain causes acid to fall from the sky, but that has to...

K2005:FC/BR <3/6 K2005:PH <7.8 K2005:TA 70 K2005:CH 290 K-1515:FC 1 K-1515:CC 1.4 K-1517:BR 1.4 Borate test strips seem to be just about worthless! Q1: Shouldn't the K-1517:BR match the K-1515:FC not the K-1515:CC??? Q2: My CH is rising. Is it part of the TA/PH equation? PH goes up...

Thanks Checked the directions again, definitely no '.' in front of that 2 thanks again. Onward and Upward

I have a new SPA (400 gal) and am trying to get "good water" So I got a test kit. From Leslie's it seems to be a rebranded K-2005 and so had no tests for bromine or borate I got some borate strips (nearly useless) and a "FAS/DPD Chlorine & CC's test" The Chlorine kit says for" 10ml test...

Thanks

Last post on this thread is: Posted Three years ago and says: "When I do the test's, I'll post the results here" Hmmm Anyone know what the results were???
