None of my usual spots have any over winter. I’ve started just buying regular bleach from Walmart, but I’m skeptical about the bleach contents as it doesn’t seem to be raising FC as much as it should be based on searching the percentage online. Unfortunately none of the “cleaning” bleach bottles...

I know this is a very old thread, but I'll add that I followed the description from @KevinBond to a T. totals were: TF-100 Refill: $56.00 USD -> $80.01 CAD Other charges (all CAD): VAT: $11.88 Shippsy Fee: $7.99 Tax: $1.20 Total: $21.07 CAD so the final cost to receive in Canada was $101.08...

Mine's about the same: $1.128 / m^3 + $2.259 / m^3 for what they call "wastewater discharge" (i.e. sewer maintenance, I guess) so $3.387 / m^3 total 1 m^3 = 264.172 US Gal, so $0.0128 / US Gal Plus the various base fees, but those aren't variable. In any case, no, it's not really about the...

There’s a few threads on here about it. One example: https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/can-i-drain-my-chlorine-hot-tub-into-my-chlorine-pool.126011/ There are others on TFP, and many others elsewhere on the internet. I’m not sure it makes sense for me anyway if I plan to do an Ahhsome...

I was recently reading about others draining their hot tub/spa into their pool, and also the reverse: refilling it from pool water (though it wasn’t the same person). Wondering about the pros and cons. The pro is definitely saving water. But in my mind, if the water in the hot tub is “dirty”...

@Bperry & @Newdude - not sure, but for what it's worth I don't have issues using my Canadian CC at other US vendors, mind you I usually have my billing and shipping address match. Certainly in the past there were some sites that did require the shipping address to be on file with the bank, so...

Thanks for the response! I'm assuming TFT = TFTestkits and that you're therefore the owner or somehow involved in it. Is there any reason you couldn't simply enable non-US addresses in the billing address fields (so that I could use my Canadian credit card for payment)? I understand that you...

I've decided to (what feels like) go out on a limb and try ordering a test kit refill to Canada via Shippsy (following: Order from TFTestkits.net into Canada (Step-by-Step)) I'm at the stage now where in the tftestkits website I need to enter my billing and shipping address. The latter is...

@Ahhsomeguy, so back to the main thread of my question, do you think I should continue purging until it’s clear? I’m still getting sticky green gunk after two more today. There might be a bit less, but it’s certainly not significantly less. However, comparing to my first photo which had a lot of...

Interesting- I suppose the warmer water is probably advantageous in the electrolysis process. My comment was based on several other posts I’ve seen in here about water heaters rusting (more) because of higher salt concentrations and suggestions that people switch to titanium elements (which...

Yeah, I know. I meant in terms of pricing compared to our American friends

I mean sure, technically yes, but I think most people (even those on this forum) would associate “salt water pool” with one being chlorinated primarily by a SWCG, which I assume generally has a higher salt ppm than a “freshwater” pool (though never having had one I don’t know how high salt...

Yeah, I jumped through hoops to get a drop test kit (Canada gets the 💩 end of the stick on that stuff for sure). I also have a salt water pool. Hot tub is not (currently) salt, but I’m exploring that option. Concerned about corrosion of the heater though

Is there any evidence supporting this claim? I haven’t seen anything on this forum or elsewhere on google that does. Marketing gimmick or not, I can’t see them continuing to sell it if it stains people or property

No, didn’t know purging a new hot tub was a thing. I knew it might have funky water sitting in it from leak testing when it was manufactured but I assumed a good shocking on day one would take care of that. And yeah, I tossed the filter into the tub during purging (but left the EcoPur cartridge...
