Hi Everyone,
Got the hot tub hooked up today, we have a sundance optima. I have a 2006 kit on order but it takes forever in Canada to get one. In the meantime I filled it up and checked PH and TA with the test strips and it came in at 7.4 and 80-100TA right out of the tap. Is that right? I would have thought it needed to be adjusted more. We are on city water.
Also I measured diclhor and used Poolmath to work out 27g, which I converted to 1/4 cup to get 410 gallons from 0-10 FC. I just used a measuring cup, is that the right way or do I need a scale to measure everything out?
Also the test strips that the spa store gave us measure, PH, TA and MPS. I asked them if it also measured FC and they said it should register on the MPS scale on the strips. I looked it up online but couldn't get any conclusive info. Will it measure FC or should I grab different strips while I wait for my test kit to arrive?
Thanks in advance
Brad
