My problems started less than a couple months after I started using the Dow and I haven't been able to get it in check since (6 freakin' months )

Have the GHA abated since you stopped using Dowflake? Have you heard of it causing problems?

Haven't heard of any issues, but the elevated Bromide levels amongst whatever else is in this non-lab grade stuff made my mind up to switch
I've only started using it this week and expect to not see any results for a couple months
I'm thinking it'll take many WCs to remove what's in the tank now

I hope to have my new NSW tank online over the next couple weeks
This will allow me to perform 25% WCs

Greg, did you test for bromide? What were the levels in your tank after a few months of Dowflake?

[gregzz4]

Is there even a hobbyist kit for it ?

[gregzz4]

Hmm, maybe it's Bromine we're worried about, and apparently there are kits available online ... I'll think on it

I've sent an e-mail to a local pool/spa joint (the guys next to J&L) so we'll see what's available locally after the weekend
