Help - problems with Bioguard MS11

Very helpful, thank you again. I looked for calcium chloride tonight but couldn't find any (tried 3 stores). I may have to go to the pool store for some.

Thanks again,
Kevin

Buy a bag during winter when they put the de-icers out! When you go to walmart, kmart, home depot, etc. Look in the pool dept for calcium increaser...usually cheaper than the pool store. Same stuff as Dowflake. I wouldnt be surprised if the pool chemical brands were just repackaged Dowflake since they are one of the larger manufacturer's of calcium chloride!

I received my replacement cell today. Installed it - had to unplug the power from the controller to get it to reset, and now it appears to be working.

I ordered a 234s test kit last Sunday, hopefully I'll receive it soon and I'll retest all of the numbers.

Meanwhile, I've been testing ph and cl daily and adding bleach and acid as needed.

The water is still very clear. The sides and bottom still appear "dirty" any idea what this could be or how to clean it - I've tried brushing several times, no change.

Thanks again for all of the advice,
Kevin
