I ordered a Dolphin DX4 from Doheny Water Warehouse a couple of weeks ago, the unit showed up 3 days later and was clearly a used product, I called their customer service who sent me a return label, I shipped it back and a few days later a replacement arrived, and it was another used unit...

correct....I'm using 01 and 02....and there's me thinking I'd got everything I need :) can I just purchase the powder and combine it what I already have?

I have the FAS-DPD Service Test Kit which uses the reagents, not powder

I have the DPD kit......I've managed to get the chlorine level up today to a reasonable level Things are looking a bit more balanced today :)

OK.....having some potential issues I've added 6 gallons of Clorox this week but can't get any Chlorine registering on the test....I added 2 gallons last night but still nothing on the test this evening. For all the chlorine tests the water stays clear. My PH is slightly high at 7.8 so I'm...

What about the CH....should I look to raise that also?

and I made a mistake....my chlorine levels actually are; FC 1.5 TC 2.0 CC 0.5

Thanks....the pool actually looks OK....the water is clear (but I'm starting from scratch and it was refilled this week)

So first results FC 1.5 CC 2.0 PH 8+ TA 100 CH 170 CA - water stayed clear, so I assume it's low where to start!!!

We're in the SF Valley.....West Hills to be precise

Thanks for the tip, I raided my local Walmart for their large bleach bottles earlier today :lol:

So I'm just here to say a preemptive thank you for all the great information I've found here. We've just finished a re-model of our pool area due to the previous owners of the property laying porous slate tiles which were disintegrating and were extremely slippy. We replaced the whole lot...
