    Copper source? Hair turning green

    I appreciate the information, ya'll have been great. The builder did use a few tabs during startup but probably 4-5 total. I handled the rest of the startup. I agree Fluidra has terrible instructions and even worse customer service. It is very difficult to get help and when you do talk to...

    Copper source? Hair turning green

    Online sources are mixed but some say you can mix 304 stainless with brass https://blog.brennaninc.com/mixing-brass-and-stainless-steel-fittings "The metals should be listed on the anodic index with no more than a .15V to .25V difference between them. Since brass and 410 stainless steel are...

    Copper source? Hair turning green

    The Tee fitting says “F304” which my basic googling says is stainless steel. I believe the brass fittings and tubing came from the manufacturer. The black box is aluminum. My pool builder installed the water pots, I just added the brass valve to control the water flow to one side. Is this a...

    Copper source? Hair turning green

    Copper source? Hair turning green

    I can but it will be a few days before I can get to it. I did notice a very light turquoise stain on the concrete where the heater discharges liquid when it is running. If that is condensate I am not really sure how it would contain what I am assuming is copper. I don't think the shampoo has...

    Copper source? Hair turning green

    For the first couple of months I used bleach and liquid chlorine until the SWG was up and running. I can’t think of any other source. That’s what I’m struggling with. All pipes are PVC. My chemistry has never been out of whack enough to cause some sort of corrosion in the heater. I’m at a...

    Pool Pump Cost Software

    Yes I do have the app and I can see now where you can determine the current watts being consumed by each pump. But it doesn’t give you a cumulative watts over the course of a month. I guess the guy in the other thread was manually calculating his cost.

    Pool Pump Cost Software

    I watched both of those videos and neither one showed anything about cost of run time. There also isn’t anything in the instruction manuals you linked. I appreciate your response, but what am I missing?
