    Well, at 1.5 PPM FC and 25 PPM CYA, you can't smell the chlorine at all even with your nose near the water. The only way to smell it is by rubbing on our skin and let it re-act with our sweat , then very minor chlorine smell will come...very vey minor. That is the beauty. At near 5 PPM FC, I...

    Hi Linen, The pool has a full cover shade, sort of gray plastic. I can open 30% of it. Only when the sun at west position, the deeper side gets direct sunlight at an angle. The shades do allow UV to enter I am sure. Its not those expensive shade with UV filter. I keep the CYA at 25 PPM only...

    Glad you guys enjoy it. There is no jumping board sorry :mrgreen: The pool builder made that jumping platform, I suppose just for the look. There is something unique about being able to maintain high clearity at all times, its rewarding. No red eye, low chlorine level with ozone assistance, no...

    Hi James, It is 13.2 feet deep. Its for dive training, so 4 meter is minimal. The shooting angle and the water clarity can be deceiving :mrgreen: Here is an underwater shot.

    Any one who has a ozonator and SWG?

    Hi Ke, Your model is a 1 gram unit PER HOUR, with your pool size at 8500 gallons and depending on your water flow, you may get decent concentration. I mean decent is that I hope you may get the result I am getting. My pump is slow at 12 hours turnover, so I get more concentration than a...

    Any one who has a ozonator and SWG?

    Ke, I do not have SWG. I think Mr9 is trying to say that if you have SWG, after/downstream the cell you you will get very high chlorine level, and if you inject ozone there, your chlorine maybe be oxidized or reduced because where ozone venturi injector is at, downstream of that, the ozone is...

    The thing I hate about Indonesia is that, there is no regulatory body when it come to pool professional or pool supply stores. I mean to say is that, I have not yet find a pool profesional ( maybe I did not try hard enough I guess ) that can understand pool chemistry the way I expect them to...
