Welcome to our forum.
Thanks Why Not. I think I will go with the K-1004 and then upgrade if needed. If people can get away with test strips then the K-1004 should be a huge improvement. Claude
A couple of cents worth here....Forget about CYA and change your water every 3-4 months...CYA will never be a factor then.
WSD, what are your thoughts about spa water, high in CYA, demanding more chlorine? I'm asking b/c after about 2 months my water has been demanding alot more dichlor to get the same FC reading opposed to the first month. Btw, my CYA is 110-120.
I've always just used strips and then take the water to Leslie's or another pool place if I have water quality problems. Sorry, but I'm lazy. IMO sweating the chemistry too much is a big hassle and leads to over medicating the spa.txwillie
A couple of questions, though....what are your other readings....pH, TA, CH? How do all the readings fall when you use the Taylor Water Wheel (which is based on the Langlier Index)? What type of dichlor do you use? What is the percentage of active chlorine (56 or 62)? Here's the All Clear instructions. Maybe they will help. 8-)
