I think Marty means your testing might somehow be the issue. Maybe make sure you’re reagents aren’t expired and your using the right one.Thanks, I was getting ready to sorder some, so I guess I need to get some coming
Thanks for the link. I see it at the bottom, 115ppmThe Waxahachie water supply report shows about 100 ppm CH
77 and 100 are both more than zero. Something is off with the testing.Thanks for the link. I looked at it and where are you coming up with about 100ppm CH. I see calcium 43ppm, chloride 34.6ppm on the high end. So if I am correct you add the 2 together and its 77ppm.
I kind of figured that about the testing. Much appreciated by all. Have ordered all new reagents for the CH testing. I think we are all in agreement about the testing. However the post has gotten away from my original question about the product I showed.77 and 100 are both more than zero. Something is off with the testing.
thanks for the info. I decided to go with the following and I can use my military discount at HDThe Bare Ground spec sheet has a comment "60-100% Calcium Chloride. Exact amount is a trade secret." So it's a gamble. A couple of years ago I asked a Bare Ground rep if it was pure, and she said yes, but the pellets are hard to dissolve. I used one box and it was fine as far as I know. The CH increase matched PoolMath and I've had zero water problems in 3.5 years as a pool owner. (Thanks TFP.)
But since then I've switched to the Bare Ground Flakes product that's explicitly for pools. I can get it here in NC for $50 delivered from Tractor Supply. The $15 extra is worth it for peace of mind imo. The gas and time running to Home Depot are saved, too.
