There it is! I am now a happy silver subscriber, though! Been meaning to do it, just needed a catalyst!

Even on the website, I don’t see the calculator?

You are correct. I have gotten tons of great help, and I am happy to support. Was just wondering if there was a change.

I logged onto pool calculator app today, and it seems we now have to pay for the app for it to work? Am I missing something?

I did email them, and they told me to switch the caps!

I know because I test my pool regularly, and got a vastly different reading with the new reagent. Then switched tips, and it was back to normal. I’ll test it again right now

I switched the dropper to the one on my old bottle of same reagent, and fixed it. I promise you, the drops were smaller. I can mail it to you so you can see for yourself.

Hardness test, for clarification

Just a public service announcement. When I ordered my TF-100 refill kit, the dropped on my R-0012 was the wrong size drops. I hope mine was an isolated case, but just giving folks a heads up. I knew something wasn’t right when I ran a full panel, and one of my numbers was WAY off of normal!

Thanks all! The salt seriously changed my pool in one day. I got in first to test it out, and it literally felt like I was swimming in silk compared to before! Maybe look into borates next! I will definitely watch the PH.

Sorry, TF-100 test kit

So, if I increase CYA (which I’ve been hesitant to do after learning this method), that might reduce irritation?

CYA is 50. We do use sun screen. But several of the discomfort issues have been evening swims without sunscreen

The best method! I don’t know what else it could be? All my numbers are perfect.

So, just for clarification, I should be balancing my chemistry based no NON-SWG numbers?
