TFP pool testing kit. I don’t remember the model number. TFP-100? Yes, I start to see it getting red, but I add drops until it stays the same shade of that bright red.

I was very surprised to see my total alkalinity down to 40. A little research said heavy rains can lower alkalinity. We’ve definitely had that in my area. Do you see any reason to add baking soda to bring it up to 60 or so? Results below

I definitely like the tropics blue over some of the lighter ones that the PB was pushing, I do think going backwards I would probably investigate the pebble Tec brand a little bit more simply due to the idea of what’s required of the installers. we also have a fairly shallow pool so I probably...

my heater is a Hayward H400FDP, I'm going to explore a cast header. Maybe call Hayward?

Check this out!! is this an option for replacement, looks a heck of a lot more robust.

I’m not, that’s why I asked, I don’t think I really have a way to power it down and still run the pump. They’re on the same breaker.

Is this an issue?

Have I successfully bypassed the heater by closing the jandy valve to the heater and the blue valve below? The Jandy valve I had to take the screw off the top slide the valve up a little bit to get it in that off position for the heater. Looks good just never messed with this stuff. Thanks in...

Well here is the damage. I thought I got away unscathed, I didn’t. It’s these pipes going into the heater, is this a pool company repair....or can I do it. Is this a heater replacement or do they sell these pipes separately? TIA TFP

Power went out last night at some point. I was running in freeze protect but now It appears that I’m frozen. I have a cyclonic filter that’s clear, i can see that it’s frozen Dang near solid. Power is still out and I don’t think we’ll be above freezing for a few days. i turned off the breakers...

Definitely give them a call. I just ended up buying all of the items needed for the drop test. If your testing with the tf100 you will have some of the required regents already. I think I had to buy 3 items, link below...

I have not. I’ll try to call them tomorrow. The bad strips were at a local shop in cypress Texas. Bottle was sealed and Taylor didn’t indicate they were old or anything else.

The results are in... Taylor was great. They supposedly tested the batch my strips came from and the batch was good. They sent me a replacement bottle just in case and to compare. I also bought Lamotte strips in the mean time. I also bought the required items for the actual borate drop...

This should be interesting, I ordered all the items needed for the borate test. We’ll see what the differences are in a week or so. i’ll post results and comparisons

Duda diesel. granular boric acid.

Agreed. I’ll post the results from the replacement Taylor strips when/if I receive them.

Lamotte test strips arrived...You be the judge.
