Welcome to our forum.
P.S. the activated carbon feature of the del contact chamber is a great way to control odour as well as adding a little filtering capacity. We use granular activated carbon at work for taste and odour control and it works great
Are you "THE" vermonter?
Hey Vermonter,How's everything going? Your becoming famous in other "water circles" as well!
Hi Vinny!Busy on a lot of fronts so not much time to be on the boards; plus you and a number of others are doing a great job on providing advice, etc. to those posting questions.Not sure what other "water circles" are; aside from one other forum in which I've seen my "method" mentioned a few times.I hope you are well.Vermonter
Vermonter, Thanks for the clarification on the "two" different types of UV lamps, I am only familiar with the 254nm type used in the water treatment industry and didn't know of the 185nm type. On another note did you ever get the information you needed on chloramination and its effects in the distribution system you had asked about.
Vermonter,I am fine, Thanks! The other "water circle" is a pool forum where your method was mentioned. There is a very knowledgable chemical person there that mentioned your method and he seems to understand microbiology as well. He was able to explain the whole CYA / chlorine relationship and why using bleach in the tub is OK. I also learned that the hot tub itch bacteria has to be introduced and it just doesn't grow in a tub.We did get into a discussion about microbiology and I explained the very little I have gotten from your posts. His discussion was what happens when you use dichlor exclusively and why there needed to be chlorine in the tub when using it to eliminate the fecal to oral contamination ... I knew what he was talking about but I didn't have an answer.When he brought up "the vermont" method, I kind of chuckled. I guess he got it from some other forum. Other than Doc's and here, it's the only other water care forum I "participate" in - I don't go there much as some of the people seem closed minded on anything other than using bleach.Is your daughter still persuing acting - hows that going?Vinny
