I am building a DIY stir plate rather than buying a speed stir. Why? I need it for homebrewing as well, and need a larger stir bar and probably more power than a speed stir will provide. I read somewhere that the replacement stir bars to buy for the TF-100 are 1". The sample container is...

Hello, I know this is not something we normally question. But why is my FC not coming down? My SWG was turned off all day yesterday! 6/1 @ 11pm: FC: 8.5 CC: 0 TA: 110 PH: 7.2 tested with TF-100 PH: 7.3 tested digitally CH: 75 CYA: 70 6/3 @ 10am: FC: 7.5 CC: 0 TA: 110 PH: 7.4 tested with...

Is there any way to add a pressure gauge to a stock Intex 1500gph pump/filter?

From what I have read, there doesn't seem to be a downside to using a SWG other than initial system cost. Maybe the fact that you need to clean the plates. I am looking to buy a SWG for under $100, so initial cost isn't really even a downside...

I have done a ton of reading over a very short period, and may have gotten some facts mixed up. Still trying to sort this all out! If I remember right, ozone is not that great to use on a residential level because it neutralizes chlorine to an extent. I was looking into this SWG. It appears...
