    Also, am I reading this correctly on their website? Are they offering a 3-year warranty now? I noticed some concerns in the other BeatBot thread about the two-year warranty, so it seems like the company made a quick adjustment. I’m also impressed that those of you who have reached out to them...

    Something I haven’t seen discussed yet in relation to the BeatBot Pro, is introducing Chitosan to our TFP methods… Any DOWNSIDE to this???

    Our pool is similar to yours—What we have historically done is have two robots-and tether them so one cleans the cannonball well and the other does the sporting/play area. That was a pretty efficient solution for us, allowing us to make sure the whole pool was done. Our Dolphin died at the end...

    pH test

    @ajw22, I get ALL my stuff from TFTestKits.... got the standards sampler and extra pH standard from them first part of the month... pH meter is the $12 one they sell—ordered & rec’d in March ahead of opening, along with my complete TF 100 refill kit... will order that 7.0 standard now...

    pH test

    But—in the immediate—what should I do??? Try to find a ph test in town? I’m worried about running below 7, if indeed I am... I’m turning off the heater and cranking up the speed on the accessory pump for now... c’mon bubbles!!!

    Oooh! @ScottinTX thanks for that! I’m questioning all of my procedures right now—hearing that you’re having a similar experience is comforting ?...

    pH test

    Oh, and yes! I did use poolmath... I’m dependent on it! I was targeting 7.2, but it didn’t seem to budge, which is why I added more... The way I explained the lack of pH drop to myself last night was that because we had to add borax during opening (a tedious ammonia break caused a huge drop in...

    Ugh. That tested even lower than the probe... I suspect chlorine interference there, since it’s an aquarium kit... ??‍♀️ Here’s me testing chlorine just now...

    pH test

    So now I’m really confused! How/why would the RO water have High Chlorine??? (Another issue for another day, lol) So, no—I only have the one 7.2 standard that I received last week... I didn’t know those solutions could be saved, or I would have... Expiration date on R0014 is 4/20...

    pH test

    Hi, @OTPirate! FC is lower than 10—8.5. Will test it again now, though. I don’t have any of the buffer solutions that came with the pH meter (used them for the initial calibration when I got it)—which is why I ordered the 7.2 standard (thought it would be good to have around to be able to spot...

    @justinc and @Donldson— hi! 1. FC is 8.5 2. I did confirm with white paper, just couldn’t hold them all and click a pic ? 3. Just received my solution from TFTests last week (could’ve been the end of the week before) 4. Indeed it is R-0014

    Hi all!!! I got some unexpected pH readings last night with the Taylor kit, so this morning I pulled out my pH stick and pH standard... wanted to show you the pic of my results using the standard 7.2 solution with Taylor... Why would it be reading so high??? New kit rec’d in April, I...

    Help!!! Yikes!

    Just tested it--thanks for the prompt! Weird lighting now, but I'd say somewhere between 10 and 20ppm. Pretty much exactly how the pool tested. . .
