Just got my taylor test kit (i bought a 5 bottle cheap kit) before I bought my Tf100 etc...
So my first PH test showed high. Next time after adjustment, nailed it... Feels pretty good to have the PH totally locked in
. More proof (not that you guys needed it) that test strips suck.
So im finding that I am potentially (maybe its normal) going through way too much chlorine. for example here are my last few logs.
Yesterday 4:24pm - add 3.3oz bleach (6%)
Yesterday 10:32pm - add 3.7oz bleach
Today 12:53 am - add 3.7oz bleach
Today 11:20pm - add 3.1oz of bleach
This is all just to maintain 5-6 roughly in FC. My CYA is about 80 (maybe a bit higher, test strips suck). I may have misread the chart of SWG and CYA and assumed it was for spas as well.. reading another post says I should be at 30-40 in my spa. That said I may need to drain some and refill. Would that be the reason for the crazy bleach usage?
I have bathed solo the last three nights for about 20-25 minutes each time.
Also I added some water today which would facilitate one of the additions.
