    Difference between Baume and Percent

    Thanks for all the info After aerating overnight to 7.8 I added acid this morning to bring it down to 7.4. My TA is now 100 and I think I shall leave it like that for the time being I use a large pond aerator with 4 giant air stones with an air yield of 6000 litres per hour.

    Difference between Baume and Percent

    Thanks for the answer but the 34.6% Is for 22 Baume, is that the same as 34.6%, if so I'll go with that I'm still confused with the answer of the difference between them. I won't bother if 34.6% is ok Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hi I have Hydrochloric acid 36% and don't see a relation between it in Pool Maths. Should I just go with 29% and just put a bit less in or is there a formula to convert I would also like to know the difference between Baume and Percent

    Hi I'm doing an AA treatment and would like to know how to test for pH when it's lower than 7 bearing in mind that I don't want to overdo the increase I suspect that there is a way by adjusting the test water sample or adding more drops

    Pump froze, won't turn on, just buzzes

    Why don't you disconnect the pump, take it out, defrost, and test. You can then reinstall and see what leaks or doesn't If you are lucky you may be able to winterise Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I fully endorse this suggestion as I often have to pay high shipping charges if we can find a supplier to ship It may be possible to group purchase or get suppliers to realise that there is a market for their products outside the states Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
