    Suction Air Leak from Heater

    Discovered a typical "suction-side" air leak that appears to be coming from the heater. It doesn't appear to be coming from the inlet or outlet unions, and water does not appear to be leaking from the unit as the filter runs.

    Cleaning Cartridge Filter- 1st Time

    I need to clean my cartridge filter for the first time and am wondering if there are any best practices I need to follow other than those stated in the manual.

    First test results

    Here are my initial test results. What do I act on first? FC: 4.0 CC: 0 Ph: 7.8 TA: 80 CH: 400 CYA: 30 Temp: 71 Salt: 3200 My gut says to adress the CYA as the manufacturer's suggested range is 60-80 ppm. While the CH is at the high end of the ideal range proposed by AquaLogic/ Goldline...
