Are you gonna add borates? If so your pH will settle 7.7-7.8. If you try and reduce it, it will go right back to 7.6-7.8. I ran my first 6 months with CH at 100. I am experimenting with taking CH to 150 to see if it reduces foaming and the effervescence I had before. It’s been 2 weeks and...

I’m anxious to see the responses. I have wondered the same thing.

This morning my Cl is 4.5 using the TFP test kit. Hey, I’m extremely happy. Don’t get me wrong. Just trying to figure out what was eating up my Cl before??? Don’t wanna go there again.

However, I was having to add Cl everyday from the very beginning in November???

And when I purged last week, the “only” film I saw was behind 2 headrests. It was clean as a whistle.

It is covered during the day as we “only” use it at night for suitless excursions Now that you mentioned it, I haven’t added any AquaClarity since I just filled it last Wednesday. I forgot.

I’m keeping up with the forum and as I read about CYA and FC levels and with my experience I’m starting to get confused. I realize pool and HT chemistry are different. Here’s my scenario. For the first 6 months I got CYA to 30 with Dichlor and switched to liquid Chlorine. My wife and I use...

I guess I’ve learned “Crystal clear” doesn’t tell the whole story. It deceived me. ;)

Got my new tub purged with AhhSome in Nov ‘23. Followed TFP protocol as best as I could. I did end up adding enzymes every 3 months and SLAM’ing 4 times in 6 months. Unicel filter cleaned and changed every month. AquaClarity used every week. CH 150, TA 60, pH 7.8, CYA 30, Borate 50. Just...

I only leave mine open when slamming. If I’m adding a couple oz of liquid chlorine, leave it shut.

I purchased 4 gallons from rural king last September. This was the last gallon. I went to my local Ace Hardware and got the exact product. He had to order 4 (a case) and told me I only had to purchase one. He said he’d probably sell it eventually. I starting feeling a little guilty (his...

I know liquid chlorine degrades over time. I just finished my first gallon jug and made the switch to a fresh bottle. Woah!! Just checked my Cl this morning and boy was I surprised at how high my Cl was compared to what I had been doing. I should have been at 2 ppm based on what I had been...

Phone number is at top of his www. After you purge, you gotta get a real test kit. No more test strips or taking water samples to dealers. Listen to these guys here.

Listen to Jim at AhhSome. You can call him. He’s a great guy.

Trust but verify.
