    Seems it would be normal for ph to climb in a hot tub due to the constant jets running.

    FAS-DPD question

    I wouldn’t worry about it. I have only had CC 1-2 times in over 2 years of testing and even then it was at 0.5. Having it turn pink when filling the vial to clean it might mean some residual powder that was on the side or nothing. Only doing real test counts. Try to chill out.

    salt calculations are off... but not sure why

    Do you suspect any leaks? Maybe the salt is just taking some time to register? I’d caution against aggressively adding more.

    Hello From Sunshine Valley

    TFP is more for residential pool owners not commercial pools since the commercial pools have their own regulations. Though someone might have some input and will hopefully see your post.
