Castletonia, so even the chlorine generated by the salt system should show up as a reading on the test strips? I knew that sounded fishy. I never have a chlorine reading and thought something was wrong with my brand new tub, but they said it was normal to not have a reading.
After the boost cycle ends what is your chlorine reading at? What does it start at?I started the boost on Sunday morning, and it was at 2. That afternoon around 3 pm I tested the chlorine levels again, and it was still at a 2. The next morning after using it through the night with guests I set it on a boost again, and added additional chlorine, and let the jets run for about a half an hour. We didn't get cloudy water this time around.I guess we need to get our water tested for phosphates. that seems to be the last missing question we should get answered.

There are liquid phosphate removers or granular phosphate stabilizing products that pretty easy to use right after doing a fresh fill. Good Luck!

That's how we sell most of ours
