1. When closing the pool do we need to blow out the spa air blower line and if so how to do it? 2. And another question which I know gets a lot of attention here. The closing instructions say to lower water below the return line and then refill ( I have solid cover) but it would cause...

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. We recently purchased TF 100 and trying to learn how other people are able to give such precise measurements after their test at home. I feel like we have a range for pH or Hardness. How do you determine your actual number rather than range? Thanks in advance.

Good evening I hope some can give me an advice about bubbles in return jets of the spa I get consistent bubbles from one of my spa jets and occasionally the one next to it without air blower being on. Is that normal? My blower is old and I am thinking may be check valve going bad. It does work...

I was wondering if anyone can give me an advice on how urgent it is to replace this skimmer. The separation is most likely from concrete deck moving the top portion of the skimmer.
