    The Liquidator - White Buildup in Tubes

    I installed the liquidator about 3 months ago. It has worked well so far. In such a short period, it appears that there is already a white buildup in the tubes. I anticipate that this will clog them eventually. What is going on here? Is there a way to clean them up?

    Installed the Liquidator - Working ok

    I installed the liquidator about 2 weeks ago. I have been testing the FC every day to figure out the flow rate. At first, FC was over 10 constantly so I obviously lowered the flow rate. A couple days later FC read 1 so I upped the flow and added more bleach. So far, in two weeks, I have...

    Thanks. The builder actually did it after install. It does blend with the house a lot better.

    Just switched to BBB - Now I want to automate

    Just got the liquidator and the entry points are too big for the supplied parts. Should I just go to home depot / pool store for replacements? I simply do not want to drill into my piping. Thanks.

    Just switched to BBB - Now I want to automate

    Thanks. Also, there seems to be an extra port on the pump. Can I use that and leave the ozonator working? I know it doesn't do much but more sanitation the better.

    Just switched to BBB - Now I want to automate

    Any ideas of where to place the liquidator? Can I just disconnect the chlorine feeder and/or ozone and tie into those lines?

    Just switched to BBB - Now I want to automate

    I recently switched to the BBB method and so far so good. I just began researching automatic liquid chlorinators and came across the liquidator. I saw some mention of problems with leaves but wasn't sure what or how these would effect its use. I have a huge oak tree which drops leaves and a...

    Got the TF-100 - How messed up is my pool?

    Update. Thanks for everyone's help. I drained, refilled, and performed the shock process and passed the OCLT and CC tests. Water is clear and pool is looking perfect. FC was at 14 yesterday so I am waiting till hopefully this weekend to get in the pool once FC levels have subsided. So far...

    Confirm my shock process

    I had algae and high CYA and drained the pool about 80%. I have since refilled and begun the shock process on Sunday. FC went to 18 and came down to 10 in the morning. I added more bleach and the FC level went to 20.5 and went down to 15 in the morning. I added another gallon of bleach and...

    Questions about BBB

    I am in the shock process and will continue that until things get normal. Once things get normal, I am a bit confused on how much bleach to add. Do I have to test for FC everytime in order to use the pool calculator? It seems like the powder will run out very quickly. Is the standard kit...

    Got the TF-100 - How messed up is my pool?

    I didn't realize that it was all 3 criteria - I thought it was one of the three. Anyway, water is clear but still has a greenish tint to it. FC was 18 last night and 10 this morning so I added another gallon of bleach. Pool has some bubbles / foaming - is this normal? Will it subside...

    Got the TF-100 - How messed up is my pool?

    Dumped out about 80% of the water over the weekend and just finished refilling. Here are the results: FC: 2 CYA: 50 CC: .5 CH: 460 (I guess we have high calcium water) TA: 160 PH was initially high (8.2) but added acid to get it to around 7. I started the shock process since the pool had...

    Got the TF-100 - How messed up is my pool?

    I'm not sure but Austin rates are very high. Going to drain most of it and just get this manageable.

    Got the TF-100 - How messed up is my pool?

    TF-100 just arrived and I quickly unpacked it and began testing my water. As a bit of a background, I have been having many issues with the pool and just came back to a green pool a few days ago. It is better now but still a little on the green side. Here are my results: CYA - about 150...

    Re: PLEASE HELP! CYA off the chart, green pool, and need adv Thanks. I have been reading and reading. I just bought a TF-100 today. As soon as I get it, I'll test and post the results. I am hoping not to have this happen again. I'll add my specs now.
