BigDave, I don't think there's a 5 ml marked point on the tester, is there? I'll have to go look.

Re: fighting mustard algae
There is a 5mL mark on the tube you get with the HTH 6 way, so is it ok to use that, and have a 1ppm resolution?

Re: fighting mustard algae
Yeah, if you can see the color change (pink to clear) that would be fine.
Re: fighting mustard algae
My head is spinning...
okay, I use K-2006 kit and no 5ml marker so I might could TRY to guess at 5ml...or use a measuring cup or spoon. I also have a basic OTO test kit, just fyi. My Walmart doesn't have that HTH test kit.
will leave TA alone for now...would love to do the borate thing but want to make sure algae is really gone.
CYA at 35 was my eyeball estimate. If I add Sam's dichlor, I'm sending FC back up, correct? Do I need to?
I don't think pool leaks but we add water regularly/daily. I live in summer hell, oh, I mean Montgomery, Ala where it is very hot and very humid. I don't backwash often, pressure rarely moves much. Great thought about the gauge, how would I know if it works correctly?????
Ben, I just saw email with pool hx in inbox and will get on that.
Would one of you guys please move to Montgomery
Thanks, thanks!

Actually, borates would help with that.Originally Posted by Kateyru

Sounds like a leak. You need to do a bucket test, to find out:I don't think pool leaks but we add water regularly/daily.

Re: fighting mustard algae
Yes. Later, you may need to turn it off, to see if it leaks LESS with the pump off . . . assuming it is leaking.

Re: fighting mustard algae
Yea, I saw that after I posted.
Many liquid medicine dose cups have a 5ml mark, one could measure water with that, transfer it to the test cylinder and mark the test cylinder with tape or marker.
