lol....
me too. Just kidding. I do have a TC on my pool and you're right, I just check my acid tank about every other month. I hardly clean my filter as I have a StaRite Great White vaccum with an in line trap. As my pool is unscreened (unusualy in So Fla), and we have alot of trees around, I get a lot of leaves in my pool. I have to clean the leaf trap out about every third week.
I've had my system on since Aug of last year and have never had to clean my cell. The acid injection point is in the manifold, before the cell. This helps keep the pH level lower at the cell, so as to keep the cell clean.
I currently maintain 2-3 ppm FC, never have any combined chlorine.
TA = 90 ppm / CH = 300 ppm / pH = 7.4 / Cya = 80 ppm / Salinity = 3700 ppm
Water is always spot on and clarity is phenominal. If I can only get an automatic cleaning in line leaf trap!
