So, my readings are a bit different than the chart. Namely the FC and CH. Actually, I'm high on CH and FC, and CYA, TA are at the top of the recommended range. Going by SWCG water balance guide in the Pool School. FC 10.5 CC 0 pH 7.5 TA 80 CH 430 CYA 80 Salt 4200 Borates 50 Temp 90 CSI -0.21...

Hi Parabolic, I was just coming to post those results. The IC60 indicated 3650 ppm salt. The Taylor kit indicates 4200 ppm. I wonder if this is the culprit? Salt levels too high? I seem to remember reading the IC60 manual and it states 3900 ppm as max.

Well, I'm back with the same problem here. I have no idea what the heck is going on. This is super frustrating. Last night we went to bed and the FC was at 11.5 ppm. CCs were at 0 as they have been since my last post here. CC was at 0 again this morning and FC was 11.5. So, I set the IC60 for a...

Alright gents, I suppose that wraps this up. Thanks to each of you for taking the time to assist. It's greatly appreciated.

So, the FC last night was 10. This morning just before sunrise, it was 10. No loss whatsoever. I set the IC60 for a 50% run at 6 hours and the FC reading this evening is 10 ppm. No change there. I guess it is working? I just don't understand why I was able to set it to 13% on a 6 hour run time...

Thanks. Ordered!

I've cleaned the filtration system out completely. FC was at 6.5 this afternoon, but we put in a quart of liquid chlorine last night. I just added another 64 oz. of liquid chlorine to boost FC to just above 10. We'll be testing levels again after sunset and see what we lose overnight. - - -...

I'm using the readings from Screen Logic. - - - Updated - - - Yes. Here's my results as tested just before bringing my water to the pool store. FC 4.0 CC 0.0 Ph 7.5 TA 80 CH 400 CYA 80 Salt 3750 Borates 50 Temp 83

Thanks Jim, that is fantastic information. I was surprised that the pool store readings were so far off of my own readings. They are as follows: FC 3 TC 3 Salt 3,500 CH 320 CYA 60 TA 100 pH 7.6 Copper 0 Iron 0 Phosphates 0 TDS 4700

Just did, thanks. Salt level is 3750 ppm. System OK no errors.

Thanks Jim, We usually lose 1.5 ppm a day if the pump is off and no one swims. Funny thing is that from early September last year until spring this year, setting the IC-60 to 13% was enough to keep the FC at 6 ppm on a 5 hour run time. Then all of a sudden, the FC started to drop in early...

Hi folks, we automated our pool late last swimming season using the Pentair screen logic system. In early spring this year, our FC started to drop and the IC-60 could not keep up. All lights were green, but the system was not producing chlorine. So, I called Pentair as the unit was less than 6...

My pool build was completed last year. And, like you, we were squeezed by our pool builder. We originally wanted salt and were told horror stories of decks being damaged by salt and that the deck would not be warranted. He recommended the Nature 2 system. Said we would only need 2ppm FC using...

Yeah, I did note a marked decrease in pH for several days after adding the PoolProof. That's when the fun began.

He's the one that says it. Also, this was an upgrade from the original contract. The contract was written for cement pavers. We first discussed going with travertine and expressed our concern about potential slipping. He told us it depends on which kind of travertine and said, "we use tumbled...
