    CYA levels with a SWG vs liquid chlorine in winter

    Thanks for the info - good to know. We happen to have nummerous gallons of Cloralen Concentrated bleach (SDS attached), which is 7-8% and costs $5.49 and doesn't seem to contain any scents, is not splashless (not sure about the chloromax technology). Lowe's has liquid bleach on sale for $6.98...

    @HermanTX - new pool owner in Willis, here. Can you please advise what the benefits are of using LC versus bleach, which is much less expensive?

    Electrician is here now and is investigating. Have you ever seen this before? Do you think my hypothesis may be right?

    Houston, we have (another) problem. I noticed that on the separately piped lighted bubblers that the West bubbler had a fraction of the pressure compared the East side when both valves were fully opened. I realized that there was a longer run to the West side (~15’) and a couple more elbows but...

    Unknown. The electricians didn't hook it up for fear that it might void the warranty. I have advised the Pentair warranty company who was out to replace the two intellivalves that the flow switch is specifically mentioned in the heater manual and they are following up w/pentair.

    That was actually an older photo - I had them revise the installation of the flow switch. Both the flow switch and the flow meter are installed on the inlet piping to the heater.

    Here is the schematic per field installation. After finally utilizing a laser level, the PB took another stab at leveling the weir. Progress was made but there are still 3 tiles that are too high causing an uneven flow over the weir and they will have to be adjusted. Two intellivalves were in a...
