    Hot tub Filter Cleaning

    Water goes green for 2 days-ish after adding liquid chlorine.

    Yes. I just searched Amazon. Wasn't sure if that was the right stuff, there seems to be different forms of it. That stuff is like stuffed animal stuffing.

    Water goes green for 2 days-ish after adding liquid chlorine.

    I add chlorine as needed. I test daily, FAS-DPD. CYA at 40 I test with the supplies in my TF-100 kit. Except ph. For that I use an Apera ph-60. I add chemicals as the TFP pool math app tells me. I have not had my water tested.

In speaking with the ffolks at Leslie's Pools; they said I needed about 400,000 btu's, to the tune of 4lbs of propane...
