Also, I'm having a hard time removing the drain plug from my filter. I have a 7/8" wrench but I think the hex is stripped. I also don't have much leverage due to the equipment setup. There is so much stuff in the way. Is there a better tool or way to remove the drain plug?

Hi guys! Thanks for the info. Very helpful. My cleaner pump broke during the TX winter freeze. I never knew that we should have drained the equipment. I spent some time reading the owner's manual. Someone stated that most equipment will have 2 drain plugs. I see that with my Pentair IntelliFlo...

Man, you are awesome! Thank you so much for taking time and answering my questions. Have a great wkend!

I agree with you. I don't think I like my fill water. I think it creates instability with my chemicals. One last question. Of all the chemicals, CYA drives me crazy. It goes away so quickly. I was losing 6 ppm of chlorine daily during these past few weeks. I finally got some time to purchase...

Would you be concerned if your pH was proper and your TA is 40?

Hello everyone. I tried looking this info up because I know it's a common question but I could not find it. I'm trying to get my FC, pH, TA and CYA to recommended levels. Can you tell me which one I need to correct 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th? Thank you so much!

Thank you

So I'm not trying to argue with you. I am truly grateful for everyone who has helped me through my journey as a pool owner. I just wanted to tell you what the pool guy said and use that for discussion. He stated algae will not grow in the line because algae needs sunlight to grow.

Thanks, Marty! That's a good idea. I might hook the hose and use it as another return. May I ask what it is that makes you "hesitant about the line to the pool?" Algae in the pipes?

Hi guys! Hope everyone is doing well. So I'm in TX and made it through the winter storm. However, my cleaner pump didn't. The housing cracked. I called my pool guy to tell him what happened. I told him that I do not need the cleaner pump as I have a robot. So he basically took the cleaner pump...

Hello, one of my Intellibrite 5G led light went out today as well. My pool was build in 2014...I will call Pentair. I browsed through this thread so I apologized is this question has been answered but are you guys doing this repair yourselves? Thank you.

I am trying to purchase a caddy for my Active 20 on Sunplay. I am looking at the one you guys recommended: Dolphin Caddy 9996087-ASSY | Dolphin 9996087-ASSY My question is: Will this fit my Active 20? The webpage does not list the Active 20 as one of the cleaners for this caddy. I talked to...

My Active 20 came in today and I was reading the instructions. 1. It states we should not put the robot into the pool when FC is over 4 ppm. That seems kind of strange. Anyways, I'm currently SLAMMING my pool and FC is at 16 ppm. Has anyone ever put their robot into the pool at higher FC...
