    No Flow Condition

    You most likely have an airlock from the fill in your circ pump. You can try to put a hose on the outlet of your circ pump and flush out the air.

    Calcium hardness of 450ppm in hot tub?

    The good news is I have yet to fill my tub, so the world is my oyster. I do use a magnetic stirrer, and that would make sense why my reading is a bit lower than the conversion of grains per gallon to ppm as supplied by our city. so the question is, how hard is optimum?
