Ben's detailed explanation on the maintaining higher TA?Thanks much for your help. Would rather have 20 year old girls splashing around,guess I'll have to seatle for pointing the eyeball up to the surface.

Where can I get an answer on using my pool heater or not? If my water is balanced OK why is the copper coming out of the heater ?

I would speculate that the copper is coming out of the heater due to age, and possibly due to corrosive water chemistry at some point in the past. It also may have to do with what type of heater it is--I don't know much about them but there has been some discussion in the past about the newer models being much less prone to exchanger corrosion than the older models. At least you know where the copper is coming from and caught it before it became a problem. You could always use a metal-out product to keep the copper from staining....see mbar's sticky at the top of the "metal matters" thread.
