    Unexpected ORP results

    This makes sense and is exactly what I am seeing. I was just interested in understanding what was happening. I am making it a manual pump by replacing the electrode with a resistor so I always have a fixed reading. Then I will adjust set point and % feed rate to get the optimum daily dose...

    Unexpected ORP results

    I know what the general consensus of this forum is regarding ORP (at least now I do). Unlike most things on the internet, I trust what I read here and I wish I had read before I invested. I picked up a OEM refurbished Etatron DLXB Rx/M ORP metering pump on eBay for $99 (good price). Picked up...

    Droid App - Wrote my Own

    5 more suggestions/request. 1. On the "Adjust" screen, can you make it remember your last chemical selection, ie... I am always using 6% bleach but every time I enter the "Adjust" screen the default bleach is 5.25%. Can this be driven by the entry in the defaults screen? (suggestion from my...

    Ken, once again, excellent app! :cheers: :party: Thanks for putting suggestion/bug list in the first post. I did not notice the "Friendly Reminder" suggestion. Two more requests. On the Defaults screen, when I select Bleach as my method of chlorination, can you provide various %'s ie...

    Ken, Can you edit the OP (first post) and include a suggestion/bug list. Strike/mark completed items. That way, as we are helping you, we have one place to go to see if a suggestion/bug has already been mentioned. Three suggestions: 1. Add friendly alerts/reminders, at the top of the advice...

    Best Method to Aerate

    I would like to share some observations :blah: :rant: . These are not scientific observations because I did not track all potential outside influence, i.e. day/night temp/humidity (we are in the Florida Panhandle and our day and night temperatures have been consistent). However, it was...

    Best Method to Aerate

    I live near Pensacola, FL and our pool, with dark liner, stays too hot for me to enjoy. I decided to make an aerator that connects to the Polaris return and, depending on nighttime temp/humidity I can lower pool temp 3-6 DegF. Now, I am making the change to borates and the wife and I have...

    SlimeBag for 1/10 of the price, yes you can!

    Long story short, I wanted cartridge filter clarity without a cartridge filter. I came up with an idea, tested it, and now I want to share it with others. I performed a forum search before making this post and learned of the "Slimebag". Low and behold, the "Slimebag" is equivalent to my idea...
