    Total Alkalinity test result is not the same when comparing K2006C with the TF tesr kits....

    Yes, I've always held verticle with no pressure and yes, I noticed the TF r0009 bottle gives very small drops so I'm not sure how to record my TA since my Taylor kit is giving 70ppm while my TF IS 110ppm.

    Total Alkalinity test result is not the same when comparing K2006C with the TF tesr kits....

    Hi, I recently bought the TF test kits refills for my K20006C. When using my Taylor K-2006C to test my TA I get 70ppm, but when using the TF test I kept getting 110ppm. The results are always higher when I use the TF. Now, I'm just confused with the test results. Has anyone have this problem...

    Why do I get air bubbles in my filter only when spa mode is on?

    Hmm..I didn't manually turn off the bubbler when I switched from Poool Mode to Spa Mode. I will turn the bubbler to off position next time I run Spa mode and see if that works. Thank you.

    I had the filter pump set at 2800 and Spa speed at 2900. Thank you for the link. I'll check it out. I don't see any air bubbles coming out of return lines though. However, I do see air bubbles in the spa if I turned on the air bubbles and then turn it off, I see air bubbles after that where...

    Why do I get air bubbles in my filter only when spa mode is on?

    My skimmer, pipes...What happened during that way below freezing when skimmer got no water?

    Updating... we got a new polaris booster pump put in by a pool tech. He used the Polaris tube instead of the big, round 4" pvc pipes (see picture of the new install). Does it matter which is used? Is there one better than the other?

    Pool is off for fixing...how to keep water balanced?

    Thank you. I'll do all the test soon and adjust what is needed. Our CYA before this storm was 70. It has probably gone down now. Hopefully, won't need too much chlorine now.

    Ahh ok I'm looking up and reading about the mechanical seal. I guess there are more parts that may need to be checked as well and could be replaced instead of buying all new parts...some may be ok. Thank you foe your information.

    My skimmer, pipes...What happened during that way below freezing when skimmer got no water?

    I don't see see any damage in the skimmer (where the skimmer basket would normally be). I'm wondering if water that goes into the skimmer, to the underground pipe where I cannot see, would freeze while the skimmer door was blocked? Water is staying in the skimmer basket after I removed the ice...
