    I'm back too!

    I don't remember what its called but go to the resort that has the sunken ruins... Its a blast to snorkel among the calcified fallen columns in turquoise hued hot spring fed water.

    The tests are the same.. Both are Taylor based tests. However the TFTest kits have a different proportion of reagents that are more suited to the kind of testing we do here. Given the choice I would get the TFtest kits. I am partial to the Pro version of the kits. They come with a stirrer which...

    Break up with the pool store

    Right.. but the OP has cloudy water and we are expecting he will have to SLAM... so getting his CYA down to 40-ish will help him SLAM without having to buy all the Chlorine in the state. If everything was hunky dory, living with a CYA of 80 ppm is possible.

    Replacement SWG

    If there is no power going to the box (have you tested it with a volt meter?) then perhaps start testing your breakers. If you got hit with lightning who knows what got fried.

    The Slam process is an easy concept... you raise your FC to a level shown on the and keep it there until you pass three criteria... water is clear, you can pass the and your CC is less than .5, that's it! But you need to be able to monitor your chlorine level. That's where the test kit comes...

    If @kellyfair can announce her vacation return so can I ;) For the first time in 20-25 years I took an off the grid vacation. Which was no small task for a sole proprietor IT shop. I had to enlist the help of three other IT colleagues to cover my client base. We spent 5 days kayaking the San...

    generic SWG question

    Sounds like it... you should be able to figure out how much FC your SWG will put out using for your runtime. Unless you are battling algae too it should be pretty close.

    SWG Reading 0000 salt

    The controller switches polarity on each generation cycle automatically. Turning it off and on again forces it to switch polarity, because you a forcing a new gen cycle. The only way to really see it is if you have a meter on the circuit. But one of the symptoms of a cell that is failing is the...

    how low can I let FC go

    yeah.. but I am understanding the Polyquat is on hand if the other chlorine options run out. and the FC drops to 1ppm range. Its not going to be used in conjunction with the chlorine at this stage. Right?
