Using TF-100 for several years now, with refills occasionally. Recently, in trying to test chlorine, no amount of drops will turn the water from pink to clear. Do both the R-0003 and R-0870 eventually expire? Thanks.

Bump for my question couple days ago.

Fair enough, Scott. Thanks.

That all being said about raising the CYA, is there really a big negative if my CYA hovers around 20?

So, Robbie, are you saying I should drop a puck or 2 in the tablet chute? And then monitor all levels?

Thanks Sargent. Or should I leave as is?

So, if I have a 15k gallons, FC ~2-3 and CYA 20 or less. Still have some Trichlor 94% tabs. Would like to get CYA to ~40. Could I just put 1 or 2 tablets in the tablet chute and allow to dissolve over next couple of days? I appreciate that it will take several days for the CYA to come up...

Makes sense. Thanks for clarifying. tfp

Bama: Your statement above confuses me: That implies that draining and refilling would also get CYA back to where it was previously. Draining water is different than evaporation? I'm guessing that means that evaporated water doesn't include CYA for some reason? Not questioning your...

Thanks again, Robbie. Looks like I know what's next on my metamorphosis list,...

Any comment on this Liquidator review found on amazon.com:

Thanks, Robbie. I actually considered using that method, especially as I've got some out of town travel upcoming. Kinda kill 2 birds with 1 stone, i.e. CL maintenance + CH improvement, if only for 5 days of use.

Here in Houston, Leslie's sells a case of 10% for $15.99. Of course, you need to ask for it as they keep it in the back. Wonder why?..... :wink:

Thanks everyone. Sorry, I missed the CH comment in the 2nd post. I appreciate all the feedback. My CSI # seems okay for now. Will watch. Will also do an OCLT this weekend. Thanks again. tfp
