I actually have two different test kits. I use the Lamotte 2056 and then the Taylor to check. The numbers I gave are from the Lamotte - and then I checked the AKY, hardness and CYA with the Taylor. I did not run the CL with the Taylor because the Lamotte seems to always be accurate with regards...

That is a good idea. I may look at adding liquid next year and using the tri-chlor on an as needed basis. Is it ok to shock the pool in winter, understanding that it will take longer for the level to drop due to the temeprature and sunlight. Thanks for you help

Thanks - I mis-stated TH for CH. I am using the Taylor K-2006. With regards to the liquid bleach, is my assumption correct that I would need to have a large bulk tank to feed my 45k + gallong pool?

Thanks for the tips. I have started researching my alternatives to the tri-chlor tabs. I am leary of SWG becasue of all of the natural stone I have around my pool. My concearn with liquid is that I would need a fairly large tank due to the volume of the pool.

Hello - I keep my pool open all year round so we can enjoy the spa. I am currently using a tab chlorinator as my primary and also have ozone. I am in mid GA, so the weather has been relatively mild. I have noticed that my CL level is still relatively high so I took the tabs out of the...

I drank the PB Kool Aid and had the ozone system installed - I have done my monday morning research and am looking at installing a SWCG next year - In the meantime I had installed a tab feeder. The PB installed the chlorinator downstream of the ozone generator so all of the gas from the ozone...

Thanks for the response. I am also worried about the rise in the CYA level. I am currently researching alternatives to the chlorinator. It seems like the liquidator may not be a good solution due to the size of my pool

Hello - I recently had an in-line CMP Power Clean Ultra tab chlorinator installed in my new pool. My PB talked me into putting ozone in (long story) and had suggested just putting the chlorine tabs in the skimmer basket. I did not want to do that so he installed the chlorinator. The unit has a...

Thank you for your replies - I will leave it as is

I have a new pool and have a question about the Jandy Heater. I have the 400,000 BTU LRZ E model. The max temp that the heater will go to is 104. In the controls for the heater there is an option for water temp differential as well as water temp calibration. Is there a way to change these...

Hello from Georgia! I have recently finished my pool. It is a 43,000 gal plaster pool with ozone for primary disinfection, Jandy DE filter. I have had water in the pool about a month and have a chemical question. My PB recommended that I use the Instalink (by Lamotte) to enter in my analysis and...
