    Pentair Quad 80 DE getting back into pool. Why?

    DE is getting back into my pool. I've checked the filters and can not see any holes. I have checked what I believe is everything, but can not find the problem. I also have to clean the filter screen to my SWG twice a day from small debris. There HAS to be a hole some where....right?

    Good morning. I have the K-2006 and am testing water for the first time. The chlorine test says if free chlorine is present, sample will turn pink. I must not have any free chlorine present because no change in color to water in test tube when I added the R0870. So how do I know how much...

    You said it, as I was thinking it. Communication is an interesting thing. Doing the best I can without the kit. It's on order. Regardless, Friday morning my pool was green and I could barely see the bottom of the shallow end 3'. New filter and following your slam process as best I can. I'm on...

    I had it above a FC of 5 all day yesterday, failed the overnight test, so I'm raising the FC again today for another overnight test.

    My terminology was incorrect. I "slammed" the pool once. I am getting great results. Thanks

    Good morning. I just looked outside from my upstairs window and I can see the Aquabot pretty good sitting at bottom of the pool. I know my original post of "my pool is green" is subjective, but i'm very happy with the rsults of 24 hours! Looks like I am on my way to getting the water good enough...

    Both tests done at Leslie's by different people. Agree with phosphates. Trying to find some CYA in the area. Otherwise what else? I think I might wait until the AM and see what's up. Thoughts??? Alkalinity dropped. i agree with you about my FC is higher than their reading. Thoughts on what, if...
