@Paul - yes they actually sync up when I follow the procedure to send wireless address and it is found. I just can't operate anything from the handheld - if the waterfall is on - the light on handheld shows it is on but I can't turn it off unless I go to the main panel by the equipment outside...

Hello TFPer's! I just moved into a new home in California from Leawood, KS and I have a Pentair Easytouch System with an EasyTouch 8 Wireless handheld controller only - no installed wall unit. The controller seems to be working meaning when the main control panel has "pool light" activated, it...

My spa has been open all winter and about a couple of months ago (December), I noticed water leaking from the bulkhead fitting of the spa filter. I called my local pool company and they came out and replaced the bulkhead fitting with another fitting - not the same as before (see picture). The...

Thanks!

Hello - I switched to the TFP BBB method last year. It worked great for me mid season. I just opened my pool on Saturday (4 days ago). This is my first time using the BBB method at the time of opening. My pool is pretty clear, but a little cloudy. Pressure is good and I have backwashed...

THANKS FOR ALL THE ADVICE!!! Pool looks and feels amazing!! Let me know if you can see the pic above...

Thanks everyone for the helpful responses!

Actually you are right, I was using trichlor on a regular basis. I switched to BBB in May after I found TFP. I just put the tabs back in when I left for a 2 day business trip. Wow! I didn't realize how much CYA was added with such a small amount of trichlor. I was definitely over...

Ok I drained the spa and have refilled it after cleaning it out. Test results are: FC = 5.5 CC = 4 TC = 9.5 TA = 80 CH = 140 PH = 8.2+ CYA = 20 (can still see dot with tube completely full) I'm planning on bringing up the CYA and CH. lowering PH to 7.5 and then begin the shock process to...

I didn't check that one. I just did the test in the TFT100 kit with the the powder and the R-0871 + R-0003.

I don't know what the OTO test is? Is that the overnight FC loss test? I've been testing the pool and spa for a long time and that has never happened before with the CCs. I did the test 3 times just to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong.

The spa is on a separate system than the pool (heater and filter) and the heater is almost always on to keep the temp at 101-104. Since I found TFP, I have been using BBB to maintain the spa but its been a challenge keeping the FC levels up. Before I left for a quick business trip, I put 3"...

@danpik - I'm not sure of the exact name of the ignition system but it is an electronic ignition system - there's a label on the inside of the unit that says its an electronic ignition and to not light it by hand. So this is what happens - I have an Aqualink by Jandy RS8 control panel. When...

Thanks Paul. I called Raypak in California to see if they can help me troubleshoot the heater. They said they have an authorized tech that can look at it. I called that pool company and they said someone will call me to come out and look at it. Never got a call - that was 3 weeks ago! Any...

Update and need help with my spa water chemistry - something is really wrong!! My pool water has never looked better!! Tests are all within normal ranges. I went away yesterday for a quick business trip and the FC level is holding at 6 tonight and the pressure is steady at 14!!! I haven't...
