I was trying to lower my Cl level in order to get rid of some iron stains. I disabled the Intellechlor and also set chlorine level to zero on the Easy Touch. Kept waiting for the chlorine level to drop (it was pretty high at 10). the level just didn't drop after many days. It's winter but...

I previously reported iron staining my pool using Morton pellets. I want to start the AA method to hopefully get rid of the stains. They are mainly where i dumped the majority of the pellets, but there is some light staining where i scattered pellets in other areas. My roadblock is lowering...

Disclaimer - I have the TF-100 and use it regularly (used to use the Taylor similar kits) and have been testing my own pool for a long time and am very comfortable with it. A long time ago I used to periodically take samples to the local pool stores for check/comparison, but stopped that...

Although I'm on my 3rd pool, this is my first one with a "water feature" - that is, the water return waterfall from the spa to the main pool. After reading about the effects of aeration in the various forum threads (related to method for reducing TA), I now wonder if I'm "stuck" with always...
