Ease inline smartchlor
Ralith:
I put the mineral and smartchlor in once the tub was at temp.
Ralith:
The ph and alkalinity were pretty low to start and took me a couple days to get up and level, would that have affected it that much? Also, calcium hardness was very low at 50ppm, but I waited a week or so to adjust that to 150 rpm. Alkalinity is like 120ish and ph probably around 7.4-6 last time I checked. Test strips for @ease were showing completely white on top part that says to replace smartchlor, so I started dosing with granular chlorine after every use now. Brand new to this so any advice is welcome!
Hottubguy:
One more question for you. Do you have a circulation pump or do you use one of the main pumps to filter water? If main pump what are your filter settings set for?
castletonia:
Low pH will cause the SmartChlor cartridge to dissolve quicker. I also don't believe hardness will have anything to do with that. Your hot tub is 550 gallons, in my opinion, you would be lucky to get 3 weeks out of a cartridge.
