I leave the cover 1/4 open (3 piece cover);
Cheers!

I don't know much about math, but how do you leave a 3-piece cover 1/4 open? That must be calculus or one of those other Chinese words.

What is a better test kit to use? I just checked after 2 hrs. and hardness and bromine levels are within normal range. The pH and alk is still high (same #'s as before I added 2ozs. of pH Down. I'm going to take a water sample to the pool store and see what they say. Should I do anything else in the meantime?

I wouldn't do anything else at this point. Take a spa sample and a tap water sample to the pool store. Between the two they should be able to resolve your problem.

Simple really: put one seam in the middle; split one of the 2 halves into 2 again giving you a 3 piece cover with a small (approx 1/4 size) section to open and add chemicals etc. �Standard Maxxus cover...

I got sick of trying to decipher the colors and bought this:

Sorry for promoting a product. I have no ties to it other than I bought it and it works well. It comes precalibrated. Our temps and pH range are not extreme enough to worry about compensating for those attributes when reading pH off the meter. It's great.

Just came back from doctor...sinus infection so I'm out of the hot-tub for a few days.

Thanks stl-rex. I'll check out that website.

During this time of year pumpkin is a very popular choice. However, you can never go wrong with apple.

Hope you feel better soon!

Wouldn't the steam from the spa help you feel better? Why do you have to stay out of the spa?
