    Automated Testing

    following up on this, since i got a notification that someone liked it: i stopped using the sense shortly after this post. their support (which i raved about here) went downhill fast, i guess as they sold more devices and decided they didn't really need me to report bugs any longer. it never did...

    Automated Testing

    that may be why i've been ok with it, they have been sending me new units and cartridges to test with this entire time to try to troubleshoot it. so while i did pay for the initial unit, i haven't paid a dime in additional costs since then while i'm effectively beta testing for them.

    zero chlorine / low CYA

    Test kit hasn't come from amazon yet (I was slacking, just ordered it this week). As for SLAM I wasn't sure that was necessary since the water is clear...just wanted to get the chlorine levels back up where they should be and the CYA to the right spot...

    zero chlorine / low CYA

    went to the pool store yesterday to have water tested after a two week vacation, and found that the salt level was low and as such my TC and FC are both zero. dumped a few bags of salt in yesterday and the salt level is now good again...but this morning we also found a dead baby rabbit who must...
