Thanks. I was hoping this method could go a little longer than every 3mo like I was doing on the frog system. The water still looks like it did the day I refilled and have no issues with bubbles so guessing I can let it go a bit longer. I've not had to increase chlorine additions at all in order...

Sorry for the late response, I somehow missed this reply entirely. King simply told me this was normal for their frog system and that the CC is the "reserve" amount of chlorine this particular sanitizing system needs in order for the low TC levels to be effective. They did not elaborate on...

Since starting the Dichlor/bleach method everything has been going great and water clarity has remained spot on. Chem additions have been minimal other than the liquid chlorine and occasional light pH adjustments. The water is just about 3mo old now. How long should I let it go before I should...

Appreciate everyone's follow-ups for this noobie. Signature added :) To clarify yes, I've added just over 6tbsp dichlor over the past month which should be around the 3oz mark. I'll go ahead and do the CYA test again to see if it registers now. It took a while to reach that because I only had...

Thanks for the replies, looks like the bleach will be going back. Hopefully this stuff is correct it's all I could find locally? Walmart had this. I'm almost to the 34ppm dichlor after a months usage. Seems like that took a while to reach but we're almost there.

Still seems to be going well. So far I'm at +22ppm dichlor. Each time I use the tub I add in 1tsp of dichlor. It's maintaining around 4ppm FC, all other chem balances normal. I picked up bleach today hoping someone can confirm I got the right stuff (pic attached). I didn't see anything about...

It's been over a week now and so far I've only had to add in a total of 14ppm dichlor including the initial shock. It hardly seems to be losing any FC. Granted we don't use the tub a ton but does that seem normal? My tub does have ozone and I read that can eat FC (I can't turn it on or off it...

They do offer the freshwater system in some of their spas yeah. I wet tested one when we bought our current tub. Here is the snip from my owners manual which leads me to believe adding the saltron would void the warranty. I'll probably go that route once the warranty is over but for now I'd...

Well here are the numbers today after balancing last night and putting in 5ppm chlorine to start instead of 10ppm. TA 60ish ppm pH 7.5 CH 150ppm FC 1 TC 2 CC 1 I have no way to test the borates but I put in what the calculator said to so I'm assuming that is fairly close. I assume the TA...

I went ahead with the aahsome purge and drain/refill and my numbers pre-adding anything are as follows: TA 50ppm pH 6.5 CH 50ppm CYA 0 FC 0 TC 0 CC 0 TA looks to be spot on pH - it says in the guide to raise by aeration, I'm not seeing a huge change with that... is it okay to use pH...

The reason I was thinking drain was the high TC and CC numbers. If I'm understanding correctly they should be under 1ppm on the dichlor/bleach method and I'm testing higher than the Taylor kit can read. I'm assuming I'm upwards of 10ppm on those values. Also TA is 80 instead of the recommended...

I called King Technologies to inquire about the TC and CC levels and they did confirm those will show extremely high on a standard drop test kit as that's the "reserve" amount of chlorine necessary to keep the FC range at a constant .5-1ppm using the Frog system. So even though my water is...
