I threw mine in the trash. The Apera is far superior/reliable/accurate.

You may also want to keep an eye on salt cell scaling... If you experience the need to clean it frequently. While Pool Math recommends CH up around 500, it can make scaling more likely because of the tendency to drift to a positive CSI often (usually due to pH creep)... It may not be a...

This is excellent to know, I had even considered buying a new one because I thought I screwed mine up by not using KCL over winter storage.

heck yeah. I like this idea of smoking the ingredients and the dip! Will try.

I mean, I don't keep my reel there. I move it into place, and out of place... About 10ft linear to make the patio look cleaner and allow more room for people to jump in, and walk around the pool.

Put the reel on the opposite end? Is that a possibility?

Correct. Check Sun2Solar website. They are sold on Amazon as well, but the website was almost 20% cheaper. I like having a reel. If I didn't have a real... I would use it. It's a PITA to wrangle and fold otherwise. The reel makes it a 2-minute process.

This build is looking great so far!

A! I just did it, and it works.

I also had a new plaster pool completed last year, in July. My fill water is high TA, but once I followed the process to get my TA down to 80 I noticed the pressure upwards was much slower. I then added borates, due to desire to slow the upwards pH pressure, and benefit my SWCG. I now only add...

Hrmmm. I've had the one on the left, last year and this year's refill order also. It does seem to come out without squeezing.

6-racks of babybacks this weekend. Simple S&P, and a wrap with butter and brown sugar. That's it.

Great. So I will assume this, and add to get to 40ppm first. Then test.
