Except the metals section? Or is there a specific metal only test the pool stores do? I live in NYC. I’ve never been to a pool store. My only info about pool stores and pool store testing is from TFP.

💯 that’s why she did the pool store test. i can ignore phosphorus and that level of CYA? I’ll did through her chemicals again, but I don’t think she has anything with CYA.

I’m not sure she’s going to be able to do the metals test correctly. I‘m going to have to go to westchester, aren’t I?

She has her own test kit, but not for metals. I thought that was a good use of free leslie’s testing. 🤷‍♀️ When she first got started, I went to her place and taught her how to use her Taylor k-2005. She uses her k-1000 3 times a week. I made her a personalized chart from pool math data. She...

trying to help a friend with her indoor spa she had her indoor spa levels tested at Leslie’s. FCL 3.23 TCL 4.70 CCL 1.47 pH 7.3 alk 24 hard 10 CYA 5 copper 0.3 iron 0.0 phos 3206 900 gallon indoor glass tiled spa with a lot of marble, about 2 years old. It was recently emptied and refilled...

It’s a spa filter for a custom built system. This is the PA25 which is nearly identical, but the hole size is too large. We currently have 8 customized pleatco filters, but I’m not sure how much longer they will stay together.

The filters we use are no longer available. There is a similar filter, but the top hole size is 1/2” too large. Has anyone altered a filter? Does anyone know a source for customized spa filters?

Thanks! I want to try the MPS idea, but I don’t have any on hand. I guess I’m changing water. I’ll run the cc test only if I haven’t changed the water in a month or so. Just to keep an eye on it. Really appreciate your help.

I’m the caretaker for 2 spas in NYC. ~1200 gallons each Use bromine tabs/liquid chlorine CH 225 pH 7.2-7.5, creeps up to 7.8, lowered with liquid muriatic acid 95* F I’ve been chugging along for 15 months with my tf-100 (with refreshed reagents). Somehow I missed that combined bromines aren’t...

Thanks for your response. I had to focus on some other things and I forgot I posted 😬 I appreciate the suggestion, but we are definitely not going with a salt water generator at this time. We prefer bromine and mps/chlorine setup. The potential for added corrosion is a big concern. Our...

I finally finished the 50lb bucket of bromine tabs that were there when I started 2 years ago. Are all bromine tabs safe for indoor use? Is there anything that makes one kind better or worse?

Thanks for your help!

Got it. Thanks!
