Hi all this is more of a curiosity type question...
I have been working on the hot tub and getting it ready to go and elected to use my left over 3in pucks in it because I had them, and if/when there is CYA build up it’s easy to drain and fill, and have to do that every couple months anyways.
So, didn’t think about that the rapidly moving water along with the heat would make a tablet dissolve faster in a floating feeder. Long story short, a majority of the tablet was gone in a day or two in a 170gal tub.
Jump to test time, break out my Taylor test kit, fill with water and drop some powder in it and it instantly turned deep dark red. I aborted the test, I’m pretty sure I didn’t have enough reagents to balance that out.
So the million dollar question, has anyone seen that color before? Is there a estimated PPM range that it would’ve been at? Is it in the 100s?
I’ve already fixed the issue, swapped some water and let the sun do it’s thing with the cover off.. just curious what kinds of levels we were talking about.
