    OOPS! My bad. Meant to say TA is too HIGH. I went back and made the correction in my previous post. Sorry 'bout that but thanks for letting me know so I could fix it!

    Add a bit to your signature line ----- size of pump if you know it and also the fact that you have a K-2006 kit. Thx!

    OK, we've been holding at 25ppm for about a day and a half now. Water is getting clearer - hurrah! I guess we should hold another day at these levels? PH is now 7.4.

    Thanks again for your help!

    Still there, even clearer tonight. I do notice there are some orange stains on the steps and sides. Metal? To hit with Citric Acid? Leave alone? Not even sure how to test for that.
