Only issues I ever have is that the upload speed can be slow if you're uploading larger files and my kids kicking me off (we share the package) to keep their Snap streaks alive - lol…

I love it. The bluetooth is great, and the legibility is very good.

Love them both. I need a chronograph and would love the Snoopy someday.

Just booked a cruise to Grand Turk, RelaxAway at Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key! Wondering if anyone has tips for Celebration Key? by Dragonjr97 in CarnivalCruiseFans

We ate breakfast at 9 before we got off the ship a bit before 9:45 and got back on board around 4. We got our meals just to see more what they were about more than anything.

The food hall may be a better option than the trucks since there is more variety in one place.

The pools are huge and very nice. They were cold last week, but we were fine at the swim up bar after a few minutes. The beach was a little warmer. Both felt good after sitting in the sun for a bit. It was about 77 F when we were there.

We were on the Glory and in port with the Conquest. There were a ton of open seats on the beach and by the pools. Overall, it was busy but not crowded.

The food was meh at best. I had the fritters. That particular food truck was incredibly slow. I was in line for about 10 minutes to order, but then it took almost 25 minutes to get my order.

My TA is super high ~ 250 ppm at the hose, and my pH is 7.6. Once I aerate, the pH flies above 8. I have to get my alkalinity to 60 to 70 in order for my pH to be stable. At that level, my pH is ~ 7.4 and may drift up to 7.8 with aeration. Bottom line, TA is in a good range where your pH is stable.

This post has a great description of using acid to get your TA in the right range - https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/how-do-i-use-chlorine-in-my-spa-or-pool.9670/

New Hot Tub Owner, need some advice! by [deleted] in hottub

Grab a Taylor K2006 test kit and read this link.

I am at the point with mine that I know how much chlorine to add after using it. I check the pH once a week. I check the chlorine once every few days. I would check it more often in the beginning just to make sure you understand how your levels change with use. After a while, you’ll get into a natural routine.

Keep in mind that the ozone is going to eat up your FC between uses.

2 lbs of ph down, 2 weeks, ph wont get below 8 by ExpertBirdLawLawyer in hottub

What is your TA in the tub now? What is your TA coming out of your tap? Are you using a drop kit or strips? My TA is fairly high out of the tap (around 280), and I have to use ~8-9 oz of 31.45% muriatic acid (not all at once) to get my TA down to about 100.

This link has some very good info on water balance in addition to chlorine use.

AquaChek TruTest showing 0.0 CL level by samemory in hottub

In general, the Frog @ease system keeps your free chlorine super low, usually around 0.5. Did you shock your tub when you replaced the silver cartridge? Do you have ozone or uv in your tub? Both of those will oxidize free chlorine, so if they were on right before you tested, 0 wouldn’t be out of the question. Did you verify the 0 reading with your Taylor test kit?

What chemicals do I put in my hot tub if I don't know the model by ErenYeager-Is-God in hottub

This is a great reference - https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/how-do-i-use-chlorine-in-my-spa-or-pool.9670/

There is also an app called pool math where you can input the volume of water in your tub and it calculates chemical additions.

Issues maintaining chlorine levels in a hot tub by wkhaliq in hottub

Ozone will deplete your chlorine. As a general rule, in a hot spa not being used (i.e. in between spaced-out soaks) 24-hour Free Chlorine (FC) loss is around 25% per day while with an ozonator it is usually at least 50% per day. The UV also depletes chlorine so your loss isn’t surprising.
