Backwashed sand filter and flow problem fixed. Thank you very much. May have added too much DE to sand filter. Salt reading working again, all is well...

I have searched and it appears that the flow sensor can cause this to happen. I have noticed that if I decrease to 1300 I now get low flow red light which is new. If I keep flow higher and flow light is green will the cell continue to put out chlorine?

How cold is your water? I have read posts stating that cli bing ability varies with water temp.

M500 holds a fair amount but it is not as large as the other models. I only find it a problem when the pool is filled with leaves, otherwise capacity does the job. It is a bit toucher to empty/clean since there are 2 filter compartments.

I've had M500 and Polaris. M500 climbs much better and does not get stuck on steps like the Polaris. Polaris holds much more than the M500 and does better when getting up leaves due to the large basket.

I bought a demo unit and it is fully functional.

I bought the Apera Instruments AI311 PH60 Premium Waterproof pH Pocket Tester last year and I absolutely love it. I have checked calibration and it is amazingly stable. Now it takes seconds to get pH exactly correct. Highly recommended.

I have not purchased the kit nor acid cleaned my IC40 since putting it into service last year. Pool runs all year but water gets cold so generator is not functioning in the Winter. My output is normally set around 20%. Is it harmful to wait until I see that I must increase output percentage...

Yes but it appears that this was recognized on early models and a change was made. My credit card will add a year to factory warranty. Hopefully it will last.

One of my skimmers has a leak and it would cost a mint to repair. One skimmer has not been getting the job done so I started to investigate alternatives. It has only been a few weeks but the Solar Breeze is really doing a good job. The concept is elegant, let the sun power the bot. It works...

My CYA has always been on the low side and I have been using the chart. I only run my pump for 3-4 hours a day for the past year and this has not been an issue until now.

I have been using tablets. Would soda ash correct the problem?

My spa is plaster, 750 gallons separate from pool filter system. All of a sudden the pH keeps dropping to the 6.9/7 level frequently. I have not been using spa due to the heat. I use chlorine and this has also started to run quite low. TA 90, CH 275. Borates 35 I have been running air pump to...

I wouldn't think so. When you open the containers there are no fumes.

Whew, thanks for the reassurance
