Rob, I'm very curious about your post where you state that the "whole liability climate [in Canada] is nowhere near as bad". I'm a recent transplant to Canada from Michigan, where I spent my first 38 years. Needless to say, I'm conditioned by the American way of life that if you give someone...

I am suspecting my newly installed AquaLogic salt cell is the culprit for three reasons: 1. AquaLogic is reporting salt levels about 500-600 ppm lower than what all other tests are indicating. Pool is 23,000 gallons and has had about 600 lbs of salt added. My Aquacheck test...
