    Will pH Rise Back Up

    Can’t measure a 128 TA. If TA is that high, pH will rise quickly.

The T 15 (same as the T940) is perfect. Very easy. You unscrew the old one. Screw on the new one. Run the control cable to your...

    What can cause raising CH to require double the calcium chloride Pool Math says?

    The robot will help. But a good vigorous brush session really mixes the water. You state you have a 'hopper style' deep end. A great place for that higher density water to sit.

    Timming for adding Salt PLUS Liquid Chlorine

    Add all three at once. None of them interact with the other. Use the sock method to add CYA.

    Spa alkalinity falls about 50ppm every day, have to add alkalinity every day
