Thanks, I didn't know that.... My previous chlorinator had the famous current limiter problem that I have read about here, and it worked briefly after I fixed it for about $2, but then I couldn't even get the power light to stay on, so I went out and bought a new unit. This new one displays the...

I just installed a new Swimpure Plus generator. It works properly for a few hours, then the voltage reading becomes 33.6 (or something close to that). Also, the current display and the instant salt readings drop to zero. If I turn off the power and start the unit again it goes through the normal...

The K-2006C has 9 tests and 2 oz bottles, and it's more expensive.

Okay, so I'm going to order a test kit today, probably the TF-100 ... but can anyone tell me what they know about the Taylor K-2006C Complete High Range Alkalinity and Chlorine FAS-DPD/CYA/Hardness/pH Test Kit? To me it looks even better.

Yes, my HTH kit is drop based, but I only have a few more drops of CYA acid reagent in the bottle. LOL! ( I also have test strips for FC, TC, Alkalinity, pH and Total Hardness) So I really need to get a good test kit soon.

KemTek Chlorinating Liquid: Sodium Hypochlorite .... 10.0% OTHER INGREDIENTS ... 90.0% The label says "Calcium Free" and "Salt System Compatible" I haven't made a final decision on which test kit to get ... any suggestions?

I added about 24 oz. Muriatic Acid yesterday. I checked the pH this morning with a test strip and it looked like it is now down to 7.5-7.8 from Leslie's reading of 8.0 yesterday.

I tested the CYA (HTH 6-way test kit) on 7/7 and got 50 ppm, so between my results Bob's results (70 and 100 ppm) at Leslie's, something doesn't seem right. I used 4 gallons of Kemteck Clorinating liquid on Sunday night to shock, should I try that again?

What should I be doing at this very moment, while I figure out how to get a submersible pump to partially drain/refill? I can go buy more liquid chlorine tomorrow. Should I turn the pump & filter back on again now, switch back to super-chlorinate, and keep brushing the algae with a wire brush?

The CYA was 70 four days ago at Leslie's ... I will invest in a good test kit, not sure which one yet. I was considering pucks, but I'm glad you warned me. This may sound like a stupid question, but what's the easiest way to drain & refill? Thanks!

I'm new here. I just found TFP and I'm trying to get up to speed as quickly as possible, please understand. I need help. I bought a house with a pool and thought it would be so easy to take care of it. Well, it might be easy, but not for me, at least not so far. When I moved in I fired the Pool...
