I used the Phosfree as the directions were given....1 liter every hour and check the pressure in between. I also cleaned the filter cartridges and shocked the pool before I started. It became a little hazy, but cleared over night. It's all good now. I hated to return the Phosfree as we live...

Thanks for your help. This is a great website, so glad I found it!

Our Eclipse system isn't working currently, and we are in contact with the company. They have been helpful trying to work out the problem. In the meantime, is there anything that could go wrong with the plumbing, pumps, water chemistry etc since it's all tied together. Our Polaris booster...
