Welcome to our forum.
As far as the PH, there is a method of using muriatic acid, I'm not at all familiar with how to do it as I have pretty tame water. I think it's bringing up the alkalinity with baking soda and dropping it with the acid but I really don't know.
Vinny, thanks for the reply. I like that concept (soak in low PPM and then dose)I'll read up on Vermonter's posts. Sounds interesting to me.Update on water chemistry:PH is now 7.2 (added 2 ounces of PH down a while ago)TA is 130-160CH is 110CYA according to dealer's test yesterday is 17Chlorine is 4-5 PPMFC is still around .6 to .8
If your total chlorine is 4-5 ppm and your free chlorine is that low then you need to shock to burn off that combined chlorine. Total chlorine = free chlorine + combined chlorine. If you do have that high of combined chlorine then use non chlorine shock ... You would need to put in 10x the combined chlorine in order to burn it off.Of course maybe I'm reading your post wrong.Quote from: av8r on October 25, 2015, 06:23:39 pmVinny, thanks for the reply.

We used to get a brown ring (almost a light golden colour) around our tub and I just couldn't figure out what it was. My water was crystal clear, but I'd still get this light brown ring, even when we hadn't used the tub for a while. We had always used a spa blanket and for some reason I left it off at one point. No more brown ring. Still have no idea what caused the ring, as I always kept the spa blanket clean, but ever since I stopped using the spa blanket the brown ring has disappeared.
