Update: I took my good flow switch out of my old IC-40 and put in the IC-60 and it passed the flow test and my salt level on the controller is matching my manual test. All seems good for now.

Pentair IC-60 is showing a red light on the flow indicator. Also showing I need to add salt. My easy touch controller shows i have 2550 ppm and a manual test shows I have around 32-3300 ppm. Water temp about 65 degrees. I cleaned my cartridge filter system out at lunch today and it was dirty...

Coverlogix solid cover has weathered a hail storm and insurance is replacing it. Store that put pool in now is promoting Findlay solid cover over Coverlogix. Any body have enough experience with both to recommend one over the other?

That’s the goal. No nails. I have said that repeatedly.

Getting new shingles on the roof. They are tearing off existing and installing new. I have put the cover back on my pool but am wondering if that is ok to just leave the pump running on the same schedule with the cover on. It is going to be low 90s around here and I think it will be about Sunday...

Thank you, just order a pair of them. And yes they are marked up pretty good!

My incoming connection on my SWG has cracked because somebody tried to take it off during cold weather. Anyway, the question is, is the 2" fitting on the SWG just a standard schedule 80 2" union like you can get at home depot or Lowes?

I put water in it this past weekend and relocated the pump a little and so far it appears the level is the same. I also moved my drain hose to a little bit higher ground as the end of it was down a hill about as low as the bottom of the pool. Now the end it about 2 feet below the normal level...

This is a cover logix hard cover that keeps water from going into pool.

Anybody?

I work for a public power company that supplies electricity for a 5 county area. What I am talking about is what we call a “lightning arrestor” and it is installed at the transformer or at your weatherhead where you wires come into your house. Around here we install them for around $50...

Your power supplier probably has a suppressor the can go on the load side of their transformer that will protect your whole service. Might be a charge but it will work.

I think my cover pump is sucking water out of my pool. I have a solid vinyl cover but suspect water is seeping up through it an the pump is draining it off. I added some water yesterday and moved the pump up higher on the cover to see what diff that makes. How do I fix this situation?

Just checked FC at 8.5 after pump ran for 30 minutes. CYA is around 60, think it's ok to bump CYA on up? I don't think a .5-1 FC drop is indicative of algae bloom is it?

Last night FC was 9-9.5, this morning without pump running FC is 8-8.5. I am waiting on pump to run for 30 minutes and going to check FC again. Looks as if I dropped .5-1 overnight. Normal? Will report back after pumps runs a little and I check it again.
