    Is it difficult to replace a temperature sensor on Aquacal heat pump?

    I have an Aquacal heat pump (SQ110) and it appears the temp sensor has gone bad. The temperature on the display is 10 degrees off from the actual water temperature. The heater runs fine otherwise. Can these be replaced easily?

    Can high pH effect other tests?

    Im having trouble finding an accurate CH number. Last month I tested the water (with a K2005 kit) and CH was 280. A few weeks later it was 260. I tested it several days ago and the number was 380. I re-tested yesterday and it was 300. I obviously assume CH can't jump around like that, so it...
