Thank you all. I’ll increase my CYA and increase my cel to 80% for twelve hours a day. I’m still trying to find the perfect balance for pump RPMs and power usage while achieving Chlorine balance

Thank you sir. I remember reading an article here that said salt pools should be kept on the low end for CYAs, around 30-40. I know I’m still below that and it needs to come up. Just not sure where I should land if I take that article into account. I’ll see if I can find it.

My salt cell isn’t keeping up. I pulled it and cleaned it. I have it running at 1175RPMs for 12hours at 50%. I’m making adjustments but it doesn’t seem to matter. I just installed a WaterGuru to help monitor more frequently since I’m away a lot. Also my CSI isn’t in range. Should I care?

I read your report and sent you a PM. Thank you and I’m interested in this.

Thank you for this information. I’m going to go look into this. Might be a better option than WG, which might be an option for me with what I’m reading.

I am upgrading my home network to an Araknis network. I should have 1gig coverage from property edge to edge. We just bought this house and I have big ideas. Trying to accomplish one project a month. April is pool automation! Any suggestions or tips would or deeper bigger thoughts/ideas would be...

Thank you for the links and info. I will look into all the advice you provided. definitely gave me a direction to head. I am really looking forward to automating.

I am automating my pool April 5th, yay. With the system already installed it sounds like we are bound for the Omni system. I would like a gadget that allows me to check the chlorine and Ph from my hotel room 5hours away. Then I’d like to be able to make changes to the Aquarite to increase or...

I know this is old but thank you for this!!! Oldie but goodie!

okay. I’ll have to work on that a bit and get back to you. I’m deciding wether to drain and winterize right now or keep the pump on and chance a power outage. All this while being out of town. One problem at a time...will resume this conversation soon enough.

Thank you guys for the tips. It definitely helps speed up the learning curve and might just save me some damage. South Texas isn’t suppose to be 🥶 frozen... Anything below 70 just ain’t right 😂 . We aren’t designed for this.

Corpus Christi here. I survived the two days of mid 20sF by running the pump and heating the pool. Now I’ve lost electricity, the temps are above freezing now but are suppose to get back down mid 20s Thursday. I’m not sure what to do. I’m going to shut off the power supply, cover the pad with...

I just bought a house that has a pool that’s about a year old. 1. The Calcium Hardness is about 650 and the water used to fill the pool has a CH of 150. I drained a large amount of water due to rain and it didn’t drop the CH levels. Could the CH levels be related to leaching from the pool...

I’m out of town and we were about to hit 25F for around 48hrs. My wife doesn’t know how to work any thing so i was able to get her to enable cold temp pump run and set the heater to the lowest setting possible. Definitely going to cost me some cash but better than pool damage was my thinking. If...

Thank you for that information! I hope it works out the the Savant home automation I am planning on installing soon. I am not sure how smart the navigation is though, seems to be kinda random and goes back and forth in places. Also, when it cleans the water line it only does about a foot then...
