I tried bleach, I got white growth on the water jackets when the ph dropped below 8. Now I'm trying enzymes. What do you guys run?
I recently learned that you should not use bleach to clean toilets stained by hard water because it SETS the hard water stains.I use CLR to clean the jackets out every other run but this looks like something else besides calcium. I definitely have minerals in my well water so it could be calcium. It seems to stick to the jacket and then flake off like algae. the guys at best coast growers (fresca sol jacket manufacturer) told me a product called chiller rx works better than bleach. We'll see what happens, I tried a septic system enzyme this time so we'll see how it goes.
Oh, and CLR is an acid so it's going to throw the ph way down. The manufacture recommends keeping the ph at 8+ so that's why I didn't try it initially.
I googled chiller RX and website is down. Well water probably could use a filter. Also do you use a water softener, skip it.
I have 4 fresca sols but went to the background. I set them up thinking of using chilled water but found it pricey. Went air cooled now vert bare. If I use them again no chiller just a large rez outside passive cooling.
passive cooling with a fountain constantly circulating the tank water has lowered my temps quite a bit.

Oh it's getting a screen over the top this weekend.
