    Predicting FC attenuation rate in a covered spa when not being used

    Sorry about that. I included that info in my profile but I guess it didn't save. Should be good now. As far as location. I live in Oklahoma City and I have a Tuff Spa TT450 Platinum (350 Gal).

    Newbie Using TFP Chlorine Method On My Spa With Questiions

    Okay bear with me as allot of this is new to me. I'm use to testing water as I've had fish for years so I don't have issues with that. Question I have is that with my current TA now at 50ppm will I be able to get the PH that low (6.0) without taking the TA lower then recommended. I still haven't...
