Welcome to our forum.
Paper pleated filters trap down to 20 microns, but over time, as the pleats begin to trap contaminates, the effectiveness of the pleats to trap smaller particles diminishes.
The metal-gon is a sequestering agent, and should'nt be used with micropure filters. :edit: I almost forgot, they carry a pre-filter that does filter out calcium before it even hits the tub, good for 6 uses!
Put Metal Gon in at 1/2 way full, .
. Seems to me that it would be good to have chlorine in the water as it is heating,

Quote. Seems to me that it would be good to have chlorine in the water as it is heating, I don't understand that logic. There is nothing for the chlorine to do in clean water. At least nothing that can't wait until its full.
To the best of my knowledge, (we don't have very high calcium levels) they (micron filters) will catch minerals like calcium as well. The metal-gon is a sequestering agent, and should'nt be used with micropure filters. Because you're not close to a dealer though, you will have to order them.

I just figured that If I did introduce any nasties with the new water, I'd nip their little lifecycles in the bud. That, and the sooner I add chlorine, the sooner the chlorine level will be low enough for me to enjoy a soak.

Obviously you took my post in the spirit it was intended and not confrontational. I came back into the forum tonight to check on the wording.
