I have been using this one from Minder Research for a year now in my spa. The display on the floater no longer works due to moisture getting to it, but it still broadcasts to the internal receiver fine. The receiver has a temperature alarm that you can set in the event the temp drops below a desired level. http://minderresearch.com/catalog/i81.html

Thanks for the replies... During the last fill I did try to bring the CH up higher, but it really didnt make any difference, or at least didnt seem to. I have been thinking of disconnecting the Ozonator, although at the same time any extra cleaning it offers is a plus if you ask me. I have read some of Chem Geek's (Richard) posts on how the ozone eats up the chlorine as well, but I havent really noticed that with my Spa, my chlorine demand seems to stay low/constant, not that I have really measured the CD. I keep a spreadsheet of each fill and my measurements and what I have added over the fill when it comes to modifying PH or TA, etc... It is mostly just my partner and I that use the spa, and are suits just get hung up to dry until next use, they get washed rarely... I think thats a good thing, maybe not? We rinse off before and after using the spa as well. Do you think there is any wizdom to the Spa shops saying I should raise the TA up to 120-130? I would think that would make the PH impossible to manage?

I have been lurking and reading through this forum for several months, and switched to Nitro's Dichlor/bleach method sometime back in January. Thank you everyone for all of the information you have created on this site. Since switching to Dichlor/bleach method, maintaining the Spa has never been easier... I have a 310 gallon Limelight Flair with Ozonator. The only issue I have is keeping the water from turning cloudy when the jets are on, even more so if the air jets are open. (the condition clears within a minute or so after jets are turned off) This seems to start at about the 3 week mark and slowly gets worse. The normal soaker load is one person every day to 2 days for 30 min, and the occasional 2 person soak for 30 minutes maybe once to twice a week. I am not sure if this is higher usage than some, but I think this is about the norm. I try to keep my FC no lower than 3 PPM, and the CC never seems to go above 0.3-0.5, if it does I tend to shock to 13 or whatever the poolcalculator.com recommends. Current levels are: Temp = 101 FC = 7.32 (shocked to 13 48 hours ago) TC = 7.64 PH = 7.7 TA = 64 CH = 117 ProTeam Gentle Spa = 50 PPM (by calculation) I was in the dealer today and brought up TDS and discussing the water getting cloudy with the jets on and they said my TA was too low... (I did not tell them about the dichlor/bleach method or borates... didnt want to go down that road, especially since I still have a warranty on the spa) Now I know following the Dichlor/Bleach method it is recommended to keep the TA low to help balance the PH/keep the PH from jumping too high with the bleach add. My question is what can I expect to happen if I bring my TA up, and is bringing the TA up even going to help fight the cloudy water? I dont think the cloudy water is due to TDS after only 3 or 4 weeks, or is it? I do not have a TDS test kit to measure to know. Thanks in advance for your responses.
