    First Tests using TF-100 and I'm all out of balance!

    Also, I've dumped a 1/2 gallon of muriatic acid in so far and no pH color change! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    First Tests using TF-100 and I'm all out of balance!

    I just noticed that the intellichlor flow status light is red and the salt indicator lights are flashing red and green. I've seen other posts by ppl with the same problem but no definitive solution. It would explain the almost 0 chlorine though. I may need to call Pentair. Sent from my Nexus...

    First Tests using TF-100 and I'm all out of balance!

    Hi Max2k Thank you for your input. The cartridge was new as of September last year (2015). It has been taken out and cleaned within the last month or so. I don't know of any metal treatments that have been added. Just to be clear -- you recommend completely turning off the pump during...

    First Tests using TF-100 and I'm all out of balance!

    I do not have a cover. I may need to think about devising one for my pool shape. Run time is all the time except 1pm - 6pm every day. My cell percentage is 55%. Perhaps I need to raise that? Also, you are saying that even if I can get the water balanced properly, there may still be an...

    Hi Pool Tool! Appreciate the quick reply! Yes, Plaster pool. The water right now is completely clear. I did see the builder occasionally adding FC by throwing a couple of chlorine tabs in the spa (it's a spillover). Your steps are exactly what I needed to get started. I will immediately...

    First Tests using TF-100 and I'm all out of balance!

    Hi Kind Folks! My salt water pool was sort of completed around October 2015, but had some quality issues/leaks for the past year, so the pool builder was taking care of the testing/balancing. I had ordered a TF-100 kit last year, but this is the first time I am using it! Looks like I have...

    Thanks, Suz! There is a back seat and four more jets along the back that you can't see in the pic. I have sat in it and it isn't so bad that knees knock when you are sitting across from each other, but six people would be a tight fit. Mostly it will be two of us, maybe four with the kids...

    Thanks Michael. My son will be here for about 6 weeks before he goes back to school and I really wanted this to be ready for him, so the time it would take to redo it is worth something to me-- just another consideration I have to factor in.

    Hi All! I love the activity and amount of input people provide on this forum. Our pool build started June 9. They delayed about two months before they started, but once they started, they've gone very quickly... Maybe too quickly to even do proper checks/inspections. They've just finished...
