I rephrased my question as the system came with ozone, but I question if I made the wrong choice. I'm not concerned about the cost to do it correctly. Just want to make sure I use the most efficient system and have seen comments suggesting either ozone or UV. It is sounding like UV was/is the...

I have a light load 2600 gal. covered indoor pool with ozone system. But I question if UV would better to eliminate CC. I see both are mentioned to help with an indoor pool, but my question is: is one better than the other for removing CC? The concern I have about ozone is getting it to dissolve...

I have the smaller Metaltrap and I can not say how effective it is. I filled my pool recently with it, but still had metal precipitate out of the water. Before filling, I tested the unfiltered supply water for copper and iron with both reading zero. I do have some stainless components in the...

Re: Alternative sanitizers and "chemical free" pools--The Tr Any comments about hydrogen peroxide used with ultraviolet to replace chlorine? I just happened to come across this article, "Could Chlorine in your Pool be Affecting your Skin?" and I'm curious if hydrogen peroxide/ultraviolet is a...

Thanks for the clarification. I had just bought the DPD test and speedstir so I can have a more accurate reading of FC and CC to see how the addition of the ozone generator is effecting my indoor pool. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't over reading the results by one drop every time.

I wanted to try the FC/CC test again before I better try to explain my question. In both tests I'm using the speedstir, one with the light and one without the light. 1. Without light: 2 drops needed to remove pink, third drop does nothing 2. With light: 2 drops needed to remove pink, third...

I just recently bought a speedstir when I was replacing my old taylor kit. Now, I only wish I had known about it sooner. I really like the light and the way it seems to make the colors fluorescent. But ... When I'm testing for FC and CC, I get to a point that the pink is gone, but because of...

cruzmisl, How is your battery setup working out? Since you got a new charger, was there a Lithium ion option? Please PM me the person that made your batteries. Jamie

Thanks for the caution. I'm researching pumps and saw the 1/2 and 3/4 hp specs had the same amperage and SFHP. But the head was better on the 3/4, so I was leaning towards the 3/4. After seeing your post and looking into the Whisperflo, I see that the 3/4 Superflo you received matched the 3/4...

Sorry for the lapse, for some reason, I didn't get the email notification to the replies. My fish tank pump is like the a peristaltic pump. I use a tube that is somewhat resistant to chlorine and replace it every so often. I'll need to find one that is more resistant or at least have the...

Ok, my chemistry is a little rusty. Is liquid bleach added to the pool just as good as adding a SWCG? I have a DIY liquid dispenser (old aquarium equipment) that can add bleach. It will drip in bleach over a given period. Assuming the ozone added is going to be lower than the recommendation...

The post I'm referring to is here Your reply is regarding patents by Joseph Gargas, who is well respected in the aquarium industry.

Installed an indoor fiberglass swim spa and I'm finally getting around to plumbing the thing. Pool manufacturer provided the 1 hp pump, 75 sq. ft. cartridge filter and the optional 0.35 g/hr ozonator (0.70 g/hr if I use a dryer). After getting everything, I researched ozone and see that you...
