Thanks again, I'll most definitely take heed of all your helpful points !

Thank you so much @RDspaguy, this is really helpful. I'm in the unfortunate position that we have very limited pro's locally and and the one that deals with hot spring aren't able to help at the moment as their technician is sick long term. Is the silicone tube inside the pipe important or am I...

Hello, I wonder if anyone could offer some advice on whether its possible to repair my leak on the moto massage seat. I've dug out the corner and found where it is and thought it might be a simple fix to replace the connection but there seems to be some kind of small silicone tube within the...

Great, okay that makes sense. I'll give all your advice a go and thanks again !

I think around 7.4 - 7.6 we have grandkids that like to have a little go now and again

Yes, it seem the standard over here for pool chlorine. I find it quite bizarre too ! But then the UK has all kinds of strange regulations about things sometimes ! Will try the lower TA and see how it goes. Joyful noise should I not have used the calcium hardness increaser to raise to 150 and...

Thank Arobbert, I'm not sure I can afford to lower TA anymore using this method though ? Most advice given here is a minimum of 50 ppm - which it's already at ?

I've been searching for months for something less concentrated but they are all less than 5 % and every one I've found has soap and perfume in it - Even the well known domestic brand is now called 'extended' with these additions. I did find a 1.5 % Tesco supermarket brand that didn't appear to...

Thank you for your help, yes I can get the balance of PH and TA to around 7.4 and 50ppm after filling no problem and it stays fine initially when I'm first using the dichlor to get CYA up to 30-40 ppm it's the switch then to sodium hypochlorite that seems to bump the pH in combination with...

Thank you so much for the info, I will give it a go and yes it's hard to get hold of over here - same as most things suggested. I have read the advice stickies on a number of subjects here till I'm blue in the face and followed the advice but I can't seem to pull it all together to get a long...

Re:  Adding Borax? pH drifts high and TA low Thanks so to answer the question does adding borates when ph is in ideal range stabilise it at that level or is it likely to go higher still ?

Re: Adding Borax? pH drifts high and TA low Thanks for replying, do you have any suggestions as to how long them being balanced is considered stable enough ? I do manage to get them balanced with additional chemicals but as soon as I add the bleach or use the tub the Ph is high again ? How do I...

Please could someone be kind enough to help ? I'm getting a bit confused with the BBB method. I have the Taylor test kit as advised which has been great and I started with the dichlor bleach method but have since been struggling with high PH 8++ I'm using PH down to get it back down but then...

Thanks for the response guys, much appreciated. Have just checked CYA and it is 30 ppm I meant the rate of loss Ant83 not the levels - sorry, not explaining myself very well am I :rolleyes: Wondering if I am sensitive as ingredients on safety data sheet for bleach say only Aqua is the the...
