Details: Saw the first monthly treatment report for this seasonal system (for May), which has new owners this year. I noticed the chlorine level and pH values reported were the same every day of the month (0.6 mg/L and 7.6, respectively), whereas the turbidity and temperature readings showed some variability. I looked at the reports from the previous season, and the chlorine and pH were also those same values every day of every month.

There was no answer at the lodge phone number (541-471-3262, a radio phone?). So I emailed the Biscarrets to ask about the measurements and which style of meters they are using. We want the new lodge proprietors to start off with functioning meters! I asked them to get back to me to clear this up.

Update 7/15/19, after a couple communications. Rob had been doing what the previous owner taught him, that is, using a color-based pH kit and recording the chlorine level that their ratio feeder was set at - basically, the dosing level of 0.6 mg/L. The pH meter must be the kind with an electrode for public drinking water compliance. Rob is going to search online for an appropriate pH meter and a chlorine color wheel and begin measuring the chlorine daily after treatment. He hopes to have those new meters in use before the end of July.

Update 8/2/19. With the new pH meter in hand, Rob measured the pH at 7.6, which is unchanged from his previous method. With the new color wheel, he got a chlorine level today of 1.6 mg/L after the storage tank, which is relatively high. I suggested he look at the daily report showing what CT levels he is obtaining with that chlorine level what is required. He may be able to lower the dosage of chlorine and still meet the minimum required treatment level.
