So my Raypak 266A heater started throwing out fault codes like "LoNox Tab Fault " and "PV Output Fault". When the tech went to replace the circuit board, this is what he found......

Sorry, I just read your other thread and see that you can't vacuum to waste. Hmmmm....

Are you using up shock like crazy? That to me suggests WWM. I had a minor pink slime issue a couple of years ago that did NOT crash the shock level - very confusing- that's when I got clued in to Ahhsome. Have you tried the heavy floc, settle and vac treatment? A bit drastic for mid-season, but...

Anthony, I've used Ahhsome every other month for the last 2 years. Not familiar with Aqua Finesse, how do you use it? I was on Chlorine for 1 year on my first inground pool in 1991 (the 12 ft dia x 3ft Service Merchandise special in my 1st house doesn't count). Didn't like the daily monitoring...

My chemical use seems to be down this year so far *** cross fingers ***. Autocover? Weather? We'll see what happens the rest of the season........

OK, here goes. I have been using Baquacil since 1992 in three different in-ground pools. You learn a lot in 28 years.... Several "Aha" moments, in sequence: First, take out your ladder (permanently if you choose) and any other equipment where the bioslime can hide. Take out your eyeballs and...

When I or others come on here to ask a question about Baq Use, or how to resolve issues it is not helpful to hear CONVERT over and over. Can't we separate the two?

I wish they would make separate "Use" and "Conversion" forums to avoid the inevitable scolding we get from the Chlorine Crowd.

Jim, I've found this helps clear out biofilm buildup in the lines and filter, important in a baquacil pool. Only had one minor cloudiness event last year.

I just had the pool opened Friday, water is clear but 51F. Can I hit it with my initial dose of Ahhsome now or should I bring the temperature up first? Thanks! P.S. it's a Baqua pool.

Word.....

I've been using baquacil in several pools and a spa for 27 years now, but can always learn something new - Ahhhsome has been a game-changer for the pool in my current house ( thanks TFP)! I have purchased the LaMotte 2082 test kit to help with the new swimspa, but will avoid metal control &...

The answer is MgSO4: KCl 50:50. In addition to the sulfate issue, there's chloride stress corrosion cracking to worry about. Hard Pass!
