    Can't find liquid chlorine - can I use something else?

    I got raked over the coals at Ace Hardware. I ordered on line and I tried to order 20 gallons of their 10% LC (On sale at half price = $2.99!). It limited me to 17 (which I assumed was all that the local store was showing in stock). I got confirmation of the order saying that I would be able...

    Introduction/Borate Question

    Thanks for getting back. I did browse that article and familiarized myself with the chart. So it sounds like until I can do the drain cycles (which I am really not looking forward to) i will have to keep the chlorine levels up past the point of safe swimming?

    Introduction/Borate Question

    I am using the Hach strips for CYA....they supposedly read to 300 ppb..... Dang....I held 3 on FC and TC overnight and thought with a high end CYA it would not be so affected by sunlight....but I lost 2.5 today..... So your thinking my CYA is much higher, huh?

    Introduction/Borate Question

    Yes I have read both of those...and I'm sure I will revisit. The TA is high but my pH was low so I was hesitant to add muriatic. The aeration worked wonders and hopefully the pH is holding high enough that I can take it and the TA with the MA..... Thanks to you and the others for the warm...

    That Taylor kit actually has a borate color gauge next to the Chlorine....don't know how accurate it is....I also just ordered the more precise Taylor chlorine kit. ..i disremember the designation on that one but it's the one with the powder, that reads a much greater range....

    Introduction/Borate Question

    Thanks for the welcome folks. I think I am mixing up things I read. In any event I ran that frog thing through half it's life span, I will have to double check it's active ingredient. It did seem to soften the water but when I returned to the algae I unhooked it and the coil hose "heater" to...

    EC65 filter problem

    This happened to me because the lid was not turned fully to the closed position on the pump basket. I tapped it to fully closed with a rubber mallet and that did the trick.
