It is. Maybe cause I'm using the mobile version. But I appreciate it.

Thanks again. Haven't used the pucks yet. Just shock. Water is cold. No heater. I thought I did the signature but I'll update it. It's not well water but way out in the country only one on the end of the line. Have noticed issues in the house fixtures. Toilet sinks bath...with staining that I...

Last year my CYA got sky high. If I read it right, seems too high makes it hard for chlorine to work and needs more to read. Seems okay or low now. Don't want to ruin that. Everything said you had to drain and refill to fix. What makes it climb? Was using the 3 inch pucks to sanitize. Fear it...
