my CH always comes up 0 from water softner using the TF100 test, even when new reagents. sorry the CC would only be 1ppm, My TC was 4ppm, CC was 1 typed that wrong. 8 drops for TC, 2 for CC

OK so i tested everyting again CH was 0. Not sure how since when i filled it up end of Oct, i added enough to bring to 100. I do have softened water, otherwise it would be like over 300 FC was 3 CC 4 Ph High 8.2 or higher?? TA 100 CYA about 25/30 Does not seem cloudy anymore though :) So i...

I'm very low on some of the test chemicals. But when i tested before shocking CH was 0 CYA 25 pH 7.5 TA 110

Hello, My spa has been clean and clear for some time. I use just straight bleach after each use. I'm not sure if the kids used it and did not add bleach afterwords, but all of a sudden it went cloudy. So i shocked it. I think i added too much chlorine. When i do the quick chlorine test, it...

I know there has been discussions on this. And many people have stated that in a Vinyl pool you don't need any CH. What about for Propane Heater. Something about if there is not enough CH in the water, it can damage the metals?

Oh, i see. Perhaps that is the case? I can try that then. some ring lube

Gaskets are ok. JUst get stuck

Yes, these are unions and all have o'rings. where pipe connects to pump. Where flow valve connects to pipe that goes to heater etc.... All meant to be removed and reconnected. A bit expensive to cut out and replace.

ok, really so each plumbing fitting/valve should have teflon tape (or dope). Hmmm, did not realize that since when it was installed, only the more permanent fittings had that. So, any suggestions on what to use to help get unstuck so i can then add tape?

Hello, Last night i started to assemble my pool equipment. I have several pool fittings that seem to get stuck. I tried cleaning off a bit before trying to screw them together, but once i start to screw them together, they seem to get to a point where they get stuck. They won't tighten any...

It has only been 1 month since running with Ahh-some and then have kept it sanitized since. Why would i need to drain and clean again?

liquid Chlorine

the stain appears to be gummy. it comes off, but i did not have an issue like this for 2 months running the tub. The 1st month prior to refill i had spa marvel in. But my cc were 2.5 and i could not seem to get them down. So about a month ago, i ran ahh-some , drained wiped and refill...

my only 2 month old tub ( 1 month since water refill) is showing brownish stain around water line ???? I just noticed when i checked chlorine FC 4.5 cc 1.5. So i shocked to at least 12 and was going to leave uncovered and running to rid the cc my TA is 50 CYA 30 CH 130 Borates 50 pH ?? last...

What happens when pH is 7.8 or maybe a bit higher, but TA is below 50?

Wow thats still $55CAD. I found it for $29.95USD if shipped to US. That is still about $15 cheaper.

Unfortunately, for me, i ordered my Ahh-Some from Amazon.ca and paid much more since i was not going to make a trip for just that one item. Though in future will since even with exchange it is much cheaper on AMazon.com and pick up just at border. Yes after i cleaned, drained and refilled my...

Yes, I used Ah-some. It seems to work very well. I just received my brand new tub around Sept 1st and though it was only 5 weeks old from Factory at most i got quite a bit of gunk see video Ahh-Some Hot Tub Cleaner WORKS!.mp4 - YouTube

Are you using Spa Marvel as well? I have a new hot tub (Sept 1st) and used that and my CC was up to 2.5ppm and i could not seem to get rid of it. So i drained and refilled and seems better. Though since 1 1/2 weeks ago (drain and Refill) my cc still have gone from 0 to .5 or 1ppm at times...

My ph Seems to be a little over 7.8. Hard to tell but the color seems between 7.8 and 8.2. But my TA is already at 50. So should i add more acid and then a bit of baking soda?

about 30ppm As well my ph seems between 7.8 and 8.2 and TA is 50. Should i lower pH with acid and try and raise TA back to 50/60 or will that just in turn raise pH again?

Yes tub was closed I'm surprised that after 1 week cc can start to form? OK so i brought FC up to 12ppm and running open with all jets and air on for 20min pump cycle then leave open for another 40 min it is raining and cloudy out, so not sure if any sunlight will assist. The color is so...

So since last weekend when i drained, cleaned and refilled my tub, the water has been much clearer and Chlorine loss seems to be low. As well my cc chlorine issue i was having is gone, obviously. So i've tested daily, sometimes twice or 3 times. before soak, after soak, in the morning. and...

So tested and FC is 3.5ppm.

I keep my tub at 101, it is roughly 475 gallons. Last night 3 of us (my wife, stepson and I) had a soak. I tested after we got out FC was 3.5, so i added 1.5 oz which should have brought it close to 8ppm. I will retest tonight, before i get in to see how much it dropped. I'm going to guess...

So curious, what would your normal drop in FC be in 24 hour period? I'm finding i don't have to add the 2oz per adult, which is what triggered this post. we use the tub almost daily and usually min of 3 people in, sometimes as much as 6. I bring up to 8ppm and find it is still around 3ppm...

OK so now that i have drained and refilled my tub to get rid of cc and start new without any additives like spa marvel. My FC is not dropping much at all. raised the FC last night after soak to 8ppm. 24 hours later it was about 3ppm. So dropped 5ppm added 1.5 oz to bring it up to 6ppm...

Yes I think so After soaking I put in about 2 oz per person will check chlorine make sure it is 6ppm

OK finally no more cc Drained and refilled my tub Ta was 380 now a little low says 20 but will wait an hour see it still low Fc 8ppm ph about 7 maybe a bit under makes sense I think given low ta I'm not putting spa marvel in again nor the spa conditioner I'll put in borax and acid once I...
