Hi, everyone!!! Got the pump up and running and decided to try to break this Ammonia, knowing we’re in for a ride...
Started the process yesterday and am in the middle now...
*note: when the guys hooked everything up, they added 3gallons of MA before we could stop them... they had mixed up 3lbs of 78% cal-hypo, but we caught it just in time, so that didn’t go into the pool...
I’ll post progress pics next, if that’s interesting to anyone... pretty incredible to see the changes...
Our biggest concern is going to be this pH dropping... (testing that now with the pH009, since it’s gone so low)
