Marquis Heating up now--Is this normal or not?

[2busymom]

Hey!  How did my MARQUIS post and question become a HS filter topic?  

BTW, getting the water balanced kind of sucks!

Balancing water isn't really a big thing as long as you realize you're shooting for a range and not an absolute number.

PH- 7.2 to 7.8
Alkalinity - 80 to 120 - no big deal if it's higher or lower
Calcium - 150 to 400 - depending on your water source

What's the tap water readings? That's the best place to start.

I agree.  Its really not bad at all once you get by the initial learning curve.  Just remember take little steps to make small water balance swings verses big swings.
