Hello, We have a spa blower that is shutting off after a few minutes. I plan on removing it and just trying it off the pipe, but if it has gone bad, I need help to identify what size. It is a Polaris Anzen? (it is a old and brown metal unit with a domed top) but all the numbers have faded...

Last fall, I got some of the 50ppM CYA standard to help me test the CYA. When I used it for a CYA test I saw that the black dot had to really disappear to find the correct reading. Today I rechecked with the standard and the black dot disappears around 80-70, not 50. I did this at first...

Hi, I had great luck this summer keeping the pool clear and balanced. But since it has turned cooler here in Dallas, TX, the CC has rarely been at zero. It has been 0.5ppm or less (just barely pinkish color) We went out of town for the weekend, so I put in some extra chlorine. The CYA is...

HI, We decided to let our pool service company go last year. I had been using the local pool store for testing all winter. The CYA has been high, so I started doing research on what that was and how it got there and ended up on this site. I just received my TF-100, so trying to get the pool...
