  1. For anyone else here are a bunch of Taylor videos step by step http://www.taylortechnologies.com/products_choose_slideshow.asp
  2. The number of dippers or exact amount of DPD powder doesn't matter very much for the FAS-DPD chlorine test. 2 fairly level dippers for a 25 ml sample size is fine as is 1 dipper for a 10 ml sample size. You just need enough to get a reasonably rich color so that the transition to clear will be fairly distinct. If the chlorine level is exceptionally high such that the powder bleaches out (i.e. you get a flash of pink and then it goes clear), then you can add more powder until you get a color that holds. Thanks Chem Geek
  3. I did all the tests in the kit but I am having a hard time understanding the FC test. Step two says to "2. Add 2 dippers R-0870. Swirl until dissolved. If free chlorine is present, sample will turn pink." Is that two dippers at 25ml or at 10 ml ? Is that 2 level dippers? Thanks Test reads Chlorine (Free, Combined) Test 1. Rinse and fill large comparator tube to desired mark with water to be tested. NOTE: For 1 drop = 0.2 ppm, use 25 mL sample. For 1 drop = 0.5 ppm, use 10 mL sample. 2. Add 2 dippers R-0870. Swirl until dissolved. If free chlorine is present, sample will turn pink. NOTE: If pink color disappears, add R-0870 until color turns pink. 3. Add R-0871 dropwise, swirling and counting after each drop, until color changes from pink to colorless. 4. Multiply drops in Step 3 by drop equivalence (Step 1). Record as parts per million (ppm) free chlorine (FC). 5. Add 5 drops R-0003. Swirl to mix. If combined chlorine is present, sample will turn pink. 6. Add R-0871 dropwise, swirling and counting after each drop, until color changes from pink to colorless. 7. Multiply drops in Step 6 by drop equivalence (Step 1). Record as ppm combined chlorine (CC).
  4. So I talked to an experienced hot tub tech today and he said the problem is that the unit is over heating, thus shutting down. He said this is normal and all you can do it put some holes in the case to add airflow? Is this bs or what? I find it hard to believe that 98% of the population on the continent lives south of me and I have a heat issue. Anyone?
  5. Hey ChaiSTi Thanks for your reply. I was sort of wondering if it was overheating. The spa is 220v and I don't have anything but a really simple multi meter. That being said I would be willing to buy one if it will tell me what is wrong. Would I be looking at a new pump if this is the problem? Any input would be appreciated. Cheers
  6. Hi Everyone I am new to the tubing and just acquired a new to me used tub. I used the decontamination procedure out lined in the sticky of this forum. The tub seemed to work fine until we actually used it the other day. The tub is a 1999 beachcomber single motor, 2 speed, 4 man tub model #530 First time we got in the tub was set at 100 and it was around 75 degrees outside. It ran for 15 min then shut off like it is supposed to. I restarted the jets and it ran for 5 minutes then shut off. When I went to restart the pump it didn’t turn on but I could hear the solenoid ? clicking every time I pushed the button. Eventually it just started again by itself. Today it was raining and 55 degrees. I sat in it for 3 full 15 minute cycles with out and issue. Tonight it was around 50 degrees and it lasted one 15 min cycle and then the second cycle only lasted 5 minutes and the same thing happened again. It shut off. We stayed in the tub and about 15 min later it just started again by itself. The problem seems to be intermittent. It doesn’t show any error code. You can hear something click when you push the button. The light works and so does the temperature control. Does anyone know what is wrong? Thanks for any help or advice you can give. Cheers
