    Muriatic Acid expiration date?

    Absolutely! The bulk of the MA was added over 7 hours at 30-45 minute increments and the last few additions were fine tuning over the past two days. Most of the additions were less than 2 oz. I targeted the pH for 7.2 and then it would come back up to at least 8.0 (the highest reading on my test...

    Muriatic Acid expiration date?

    Yes, I had been testing and dosing with MA every 30 minutes. I think I have found the sweet spot where the pH didn't move too much. Last night reading pH 7.5, TA 70. It took about 27 oz of MA to get it to that level. I would like to add the borate today, but according to pool math, I would need...

    Latest reading at 7:45 CH 100 pH 7.8 TA 110 Br-zero- I haven't added any yet. I was trying to get TA lower first but will have to add some soon because I'm going to call it a night very soon

    You know, that's probably the problem. I have been leaving the aeration on the entire time rather than letting the MA circulate and then turning up the aeration. Sometimes it takes another set of eyes to look at a situation !

    Muriatic Acid expiration date?

    Does anyone know if Muriatic Acid loses its potency? I am using 31.45% but seem to be having a SLOW time lowering my TA in my 350 gal Hot Springs spa. Did a refill today after using Ah-some. TA is very high in our well water -300 to start and I've been working on lowering it for the past 4.5...

    Uh Oh...Folliculitis...Shock like crazy or decontaminate?

    Thanks. I cleaned the tub with Ahhsome this weekend and was pleased how much easier it was to get it balanced. I will check out the discussions you listed.

    Uh Oh...Folliculitis...Shock like crazy or decontaminate?

    Thanks for your reply. Yes I have learned some things the hard way and realized that things can go south very quickly in the hot tub environment. I have read some of the posts about removing the biofilm and was hoping for some clarification about the suits and spa pillows. I am planning on...

    High Chlorine Demand issues after refill

    Thanks for the info on how to use Ahhsome. I was wondering if that was a good way to clean the filter or if it should be replaced.

    Uh Oh...Folliculitis...Shock like crazy or decontaminate?

    Hi everyone, We've been using the TFP Bromine 3 step for 1 year and no problems until recently. I drained the tub 2 weeks ago after developing a very mild rash and water had become cloudy while we were out of town. Wasn't sure if rash was folliculitis at the time and was actually more worried...
