SRC Member KennethK Posted August 24, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted August 24, 2007 Kh MUST be maintain abt 7 - 10 at the most. Anyway 1st time hear kh so high. Btw that skimmer in ur sump looks like a weipro to me and oso get a temperate controller if not ur electricity bill will be high. The noise is horrible kicking in and out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member zipp86 Posted August 24, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted August 24, 2007 i think u are reading your KH wrongly bro, anyway six drops is 6dKH. so there you have it, your KH is 6! oh ya, my advice to you is repair your chiller or get a new one, how you going to run a chiller without any thermostat???
