Any thoughts on running lower/higher?
I've read where some people will run around 1.022, but I'm not really comfortable doing so....

we used to test the water in the bay in Port Elizabeth,, it was a bit lower like 1.023 - .24
I have always just done .025 because it was an easy number to remember... |

Probably monthly for me. I do w/c about once a month-month and half.
When I manually dosing magnesium, I was checking more often - in the two week range.
