Okay okay, sorry all!! I will admit I kind of forgot. verdict is… there’s about 95% chance I’m returning this thing. After 3 full days of crazy, inaccurate readings I sent a note to support. They said that there was an issue with my test cartridge and they are sending me a new one. I will give...

yes, I agree that the limit of 5ppm FC is a problem for many with high CYA. Luckily with my salt system, I should only need to keep my FC levels around 4-5ppm, which is why i still went through with the purchase. I don't use chlorine that includes calcium or CYA, so I shouldn't need to test...

HA HA! I was thinking about all of your fine folks!! I wish I had an update for you but I have yet to actually put Sutro in the water!! I am coming off a SLAM and was waiting for my FC to drop to 5ppm but it's taking longer to drop than I anticipated. I guess that's a good sign I got all that...

Thanks for the reassurance! That's what I have been trying to tell myself. I will refrain from jumping off the deep end. :LOL:

Hello... me again.. I know... eventually I will be self-sufficient. So I went ahead and did a two-day SLAM, held chlorine at 12ppm all day Monday, and then held at 18ppm all day yesterday - zero OCL last night and then below >.5 the last couple of days. As soon as my CL dropped enough to get...

Last question - in regards to my comment on the combined chlorine test. I mentioned that it never actually turns pink. When I add R-003 it will usually add a VERY slight pink tint. Will R-0003 always give it that slight tint or does that mean there is indeed a small trace of CC in the pool...

Wonderful! Thanks for the guidance!!

Hello @Texas Splash and/or @mknauss - quick confirmation request and didn't want to create a new thread as I figured it would be one of you gentlemen responding. My water has been yielding very positive results. Been testing at least 5 times a day to get a strong understanding of my crazy...

Even if I opened it?

I’m learning very quickly not to trust any pool chemicals. Liquid chlorine it is.. Fantastic news today though. Finished the halfway drain to dilute bromine bank on Thursday. Was able to get CYA established back to 30 yesterday and then started today with 5ppm FC and ended with 1.6ppm. Full...

After you told me that 56% wasn’t the strength of the cal hypo, I was able to find the product Online. Still having a really hard time finding ingredients list anywhere though…

Yeah… I know pretty much nothing about granular chlorine. I’ve only ever used liquid along side of my SWG. But I’m anticipating blowing through chlorine… perfect timing with the shortage. I grabbed this because I was running out of room to store liquid gallons. This was a bulk bucket from...

Okay I just assumed that the 56% was reflective of the chlorine count. I supppse that is incorrect. I’ll search harder for other ingredients
