So I tested again after replacing my DI resin, and still came out with .02 ppm, repeatedly. My carbon block is only a few months old! What I'm thinking of trying out is putting in a new carbon block and testing weekly to see how long they last, and calculate a gallonage. Pesky HC only came with 6 packets, so I'm going to have to get another box. More money to hanna

feels. real. gud. -
Grainger is my goto local place for locline.
-
Is the flow on the back (where the locline comes outs) a closed loop or from bulkheads through the tank bottom?
-
It has been my experience that the attrition rate is noticeable, but RC overpacks to compensate. I still ended up with more than I ordered after separating the dead ones out.

If that's not romantic, I don't know what is.

Wowza! are y'all moving to Austin or just admiring from afar?

looks like cyano to me...

gold is nonreactive and pretty dense.

DAS in waxahachie i believe.

I'll take a 4 as well.

How tall is your tank and where is the chalice vertically ?
-
Depends on the vehicle
-
i want some too
-
I keep mine on the very bottom. My experience with chalices is that they like low light and low flow.

Gonna need better photos to help ID.

George: nope. I'd be happy to test if you get me a sample.

I picked one up in my order, I'll do testing then to see if it makes a difference. It may be as simple as changing your carbon block more regularly (i do mine semiannually, but maybe quarterly is more in order). More testing is in order!

I kinda doubt it, i think that if it's in a closed loop with carbon in your tank, that a reading of 0.01 would eventually dissipate.

Just a head's up to all you fine folks on city of austin water: I puchased a hanna total chlorine HC, and did a little testing of our water. My findings are: 1)Tap water came in at 1.89 ppm. 2) After going through my RODI, it came out with chloramine of 0.04 ppm. The +/- is 0.03 ppm, so its definitely had at the very least a small detection of 0.01 ppm. I need to repeat my test a few times to verify results, and then test my tank after a water change, but I still found it interesting. Also to note, my carbon block is only a month or two old, but my DI resin is about a year old.

Lots of engineers and environmental folks (hydrogeologist here) on this board, you'll fit right in . You win the newcomer-doing-the-forum-right award! Looking forward to your build post.
