I’m anxious to see the responses. I have wondered the same thing.

This morning my Cl is 4.5 using the TFP test kit. Hey, I’m extremely happy. Don’t get me wrong. Just trying to figure out what was eating up my Cl before??? Don’t wanna go there again.

However, I was having to add Cl everyday from the very beginning in November???

And when I purged last week, the “only” film I saw was behind 2 headrests. It was clean as a whistle.

It is covered during the day as we “only” use it at night for suitless excursions Now that you mentioned it, I haven’t added any AquaClarity since I just filled it last Wednesday. I forgot.

I’m keeping up with the forum and as I read about CYA and FC levels and with my experience I’m starting to get confused. I realize pool and HT chemistry are different. Here’s my scenario. For the first 6 months I got CYA to 30 with Dichlor and switched to liquid Chlorine. My wife and I use...

I guess I’ve learned “Crystal clear” doesn’t tell the whole story. It deceived me. ;)

Got my new tub purged with AhhSome in Nov ‘23. Followed TFP protocol as best as I could. I did end up adding enzymes every 3 months and SLAM’ing 4 times in 6 months. Unicel filter cleaned and changed every month. AquaClarity used every week. CH 150, TA 60, pH 7.8, CYA 30, Borate 50. Just...

I only leave mine open when slamming. If I’m adding a couple oz of liquid chlorine, leave it shut.

I purchased 4 gallons from rural king last September. This was the last gallon. I went to my local Ace Hardware and got the exact product. He had to order 4 (a case) and told me I only had to purchase one. He said he’d probably sell it eventually. I starting feeling a little guilty (his...

I know liquid chlorine degrades over time. I just finished my first gallon jug and made the switch to a fresh bottle. Woah!! Just checked my Cl this morning and boy was I surprised at how high my Cl was compared to what I had been doing. I should have been at 2 ppm based on what I had been...

Phone number is at top of his www. After you purge, you gotta get a real test kit. No more test strips or taking water samples to dealers. Listen to these guys here.

Listen to Jim at AhhSome. You can call him. He’s a great guy.

Trust but verify.

Honestly (always be leery when someone begins a statement with "honestly") , I really was hoping the pool water testing machine would give accurate results and verify "my" results. I really was. This was my secondwater sample I have taken them. I never told you about the first one. It didn't...

I still haven’t googled it. My audiologist is 1 mile from my dealer. Had to drive right by them to get to my audi. Just wanted to verify how correct I am by listening to you guys. And gals. ;)

Tptest kit FC/CYA balanced I’m on it. Borate 50ppm

For kicks I took in a water sample to my dealer this morning. Interesting results. Their CH was 80. My test 150. Their Alk 76. Mine 60. Their CYA 45. Mine 30. Their pH 7.9. Mine 7.6. They said my phosphates were 950??? Is that bad? I haven’t googled it.

ok dokee Thanks!

I have that one. So just forget the other ones and go with the FAS/DPS Test?

Two of my test kits use "yellow" as the color when trying to determine chlorine ppm and another uses "pink" as the reference color. I see they take different reagents but what exactly am I checking. Is one better than the other? Why would I use one over the other?

I wonder if it could be captured on video???

My wife and I act like 2 teenagers doing something wrong when we sneak out after dark. The problem is we don’t “look” like teenagers.

Did not know this. Thanks!!!

Well, this will be a great help. Thanks Newdude!

Amazing info. Thanks!

So I aint so smart after all? :laughblue::laughblue:

Y’all may already know this??? I have noticed where we place our feet in the center of out HT, it had gotten a little stained. Today I got a magic eraser and erased all of the stain. I go barefoot a lot so I carry a little grime in the soles of my feet. Since my shell is “white” my grime...

I’m adding between 5-10 gallons per week to my 335 gal tub. We use it daily and have temp set at 102. I have found no leaks.

100% agreement. In the beginning where some of us really goof up, I made a very huge mistake on chlorine addition. 10x what was required. Decimal point error. Plus me not thinking. I also confused chlorine with soda bicarbonate. You get the picture. I waited 3 days and finally resorted...
