Can you also use it to clean jacuzzi or it will mess up cleaners calibration?

I do not know but I have loaned mine to a friend with a lot smaller pool and it did not mess mine up. It went right back to cleaning my entire pool and mine is the largest inground pool in a back yard. 30,000 gallons

No. You use the same tests for a pool or a jacuzzi, regardless of size. However, many pool supply places will test your water for free. It makes water testing simple and the occasional full test at the pool supply place keeps everything in line.

No. The vacuum will remove the dirt but will not take care of algae spores or rain related pH balances. You still need to check your Chlorine/Bromine levels and pH. A pool your size should only need little corrections with the appropriate chemicals.

I love mine. Had a steam buggy previously that finally gave up the ghost. This one is much easier to use and can be fun. As with all of them I think one must use chemicals. Guess just depends on what condition item is in. Soap scum must have help from cleaning agents. I think this is just another tool that aids with cleaning. I recommend.

I don't know. I only used it to remove chlorine. You would have to ask the manufacturer.

I think so. I have an above ground Jacuzzi and use this product without any problems.

Sure. You just need to know the appropriate levels for a hot tub versus a pool. The strips don't care one way or the other. They indicate the chemical levels, it is up to you to interpret the readings and make the adjustments.

As you already know high alkaline water will leave mineral deposits on your plumbing fixtures. You could therefore make a valid assumption that it would also do the same in your filter unit and reduce the effectiveness of the filtering process. However you should contact the manufacturer directly and get and answer directly preferably by email. A reverse osmosis unit is a better solution for your situation if you have the room and the cash.

Yes, but best to use professional cleaner unless your machine is extra large capacity and has a delicate cycle.

I doubt that it is "accurate" in terms of being calibrated to any significant extent. I just line the up the disk to where I want it and it is very close to my floor pumps reading. I just use it to finish my ride if I get a flat. If I'm within 10 psi I'm happy enough to get home.

to be perfectly honest with you, I haven't tried it so I would not know. However, I can tell you that to truly get the value of this cleaning solution, I would recommend you use a cleaning station.

Whirl Out does do some cleanout of minerals, but I'm not sure exactly what, except that it cleans pretty well. The best product I've found so far is called "Oh Yuk Jetted Tub System Cleaner." It has been taking care of our bacterial iron that had been accumulating in the pipes. It dissolves a lot of it, and WhirlOut does too, but not quite as good. I have found using warm to hot water in both the cleaning and the rinse helps. The problem is, for me, that I'm not sure what harsh chemicals I can use or not use in the jacuzzi tub. If I could use anything, I would pick Iron Out. It might sound funny or silly, but for very small corroded items, Efferdent (for cleaning dentures) does an excellent job. I was looking for something to clean a partial, and one of the reviews for Efferdent was a guy who uses it to clean the minerals, calcium, etc, from his toilet. I tried Efferent in the toilet and it actually did a fairly decent job. With hot water, I think it could have done better. Hope these suggestions help. Ingrid

Check the pressure setting with the guage that you got when you purchased your pool cleaner. If that doesn't work, you have something in the line

Yes - use only plain water. Any cleaners, etc. will only serve to clog the machine and may render it useless.

Tom: yes , thats the reason I purchased it. It works very well for cleaning parts. However.... It is mixed with water so it tends to evaporate alittle so the water needs to be added occasionally and metal parts cleaned should be dried off ASAP after cleaning to avoid oxidation. Hope this helped. Works good & You can adjust the dilution rate.

As long as you have a means of adjusting levels I don't see any problems. This just gives you a series of grey patches that you can use the eye dropper to calibrate the grey. It comes with software that adjust your colors for the camera you use. And stores it as a profile in Photoshop. Do check with the both companies to see if they are compatible with your software.

This powder cannot be used for descaling. It will destroy your machine if it goes into the boiler. You can only use this powder to clean your portafilter and filter basket if its all metal. Don't use it on any plastic or rubber. All you do is mix half a teaspoon in a bowl with water and leave the portafiter and filter basket in there for about 10 minutes. You also use this for back flashing your machine if it has a three way solenoid. There are great videos on YouTube on how to backflush the machine.
