Welcome to our forum.
Term... you know I love you, BUT... if I remember correctly that is not what Karl's water started like. His water was clear and then he added something to shock it and then it looked like that. It might not be much different, but IMHO I don't think you are comparing apples to apples and should make such cut throat conclusions.
How many microns does the TRI-X filter?
If no one answers by the time I get back to work tomorrow, I'll find out. I really don't know.Terminator
Mendo, mi amigo, I'm not sure I understand the gist of your post.I was definitely deadly serious with my comments in my previous post. The "Crappy Water" thread turned out to be THE most substantial thread I've seen yet in 1.5 years on this forum.And based on T-Lady's comments, she did nothing extraordinary to her water other than clean the filters while Karl XIII tried a litany of recommended chemical methods and his water actually got worse.For simplicity, I offer this:T-Lady's starting water in her HotSpring Spa:T-Lady's ending water after 3-5 days (not specified) filtration:Karl XIII's starting water in his Caldera Spa:Karl XIII's ending water after 2 days treatment and filtration:To my strictly logical way of thinking, this filtration debate begins and ends right here.Terminator
lol.....well...it depends it just might open up a whole new debate as to why a hi flow system that uses no pass on the low speed could be the way to go.....but I was just trying to suggest that the Sea Klear stuff is a great product that really does work and since its organic you will not hurt anything....
Minerals can be dissolved in the water and depending on pH, and other minerals that they may be combined with, will or will not precipitate out. Karl's water could have iron but it may take the chemical reaction of chlorine to allow it to become visible. Products that sequester the iron and minerals are probably more critical to really getting all the iron out. Filtration time is another variable that was not considered in the experiment . So- no way can we compare Karl's tub to T-Lady's.
I am really curious to see if anyone finds a micron filtration rating on any of the filters, because I just think of them as being gross filters and the micron filters that I am familiar with are used to sterilize liquids
I find it almost impossible to believe that a tub's filter in a 1 micron or less range would last any amount of time or be reusable after cleaning organic waste.
Did anyone come up with the answer ?
