Got it. Missed the nuance of the standalone vs pool/spa combo. Will create my signature now.

It's not huge, but 10%-30% difference isn't nothing. I just want to know which one is the accurate test, as they should be the same. I was hoping someone could chime in on my conversion math to see if that's the issue. But I suppose I'll probably just order another bottle of reagent to solve...

Hi All, Long time listener, first time caller. I'm contemplating the switch from chlorine (SWG) to bromine, as I may have a chlorine sensitivity. It's my understanding that I've created 30ppm bromine bank (3ppm FC, .2ppm CC per Taylor FAS-DPD, then added 69g NaBr to 430gal last night). Since...

PP-1 AMP splitter:GECKO CABLE SPLITTER PP-1 AMP MALE TO 2 FEMALE, LENGTH 6'' 9920-401369 I ended up using a standard .25" female quick disconnect terminal to rewire the circ pump to constant voltage. I did some calculations, and it should only be about $8/mo extra to run it 24/7, and I will...

Yeah I'm leaning more towards just draping over. There's actually a decent gap in the filter compartment cover that the cord fits in, and I can barely see it. Unfortunately the unit I got was damaged (looks like not enough epoxy covering the sensor leads, and water is making its way to the...

Jim, I did not mean to put words in your mouth or start any kind of argument -- just trying to explain a little about my current level of knowledge. I'm totally new to this, but I have done a lot of research. But I definitely understand there's still a lot more to learn! Anyway, I think we...

Thanks for the interest; I'll be sure to update. I know at least a few others here are using SWCG in their tubs and seem to love them. At least one other is using the SmarterSpa as well, and he seems to think it's great. I ordered the SmarterSpa over the weekend and hope to receive it this...

I totally get that, and I've read nearly every one of Chem_Geek's posts/comments. I may be new to this, but I don't believe I'm uneducated or under-informed. Mineral is inexpensive (less than $80/year if I change at recommended intervals). Marketing aside, there's a reason Frog @ease is EPA...

Long-time lurker on the forums, and I recently got my R7L w/ EOS (ozone)/CP from a great and knowledgeable local dealer. I know I could easily get pretty much any SWCG unit and drape it over, but I'm an engineer and perfectionist, and that's not my style. I'd like to get something...
