Moved from here. I'm looking for a robotic pool cleaner. The kids are now out of the house :) My pool is 22,000 gallons with a sun shelf, stairs and a cut-in seat. I need one that can climb walls and do the water line. Any recommendations?

My salt level is at 5000ppm. Will I damage anything? Background: When I opened the pool my Pentair IC60 SWG said 0% on my Intellitouch screen. Not doing any research as to whether that might be a problem, I did the Pool Math and found that I “needed” 600lbs of salt. After adding the salt I...

I've had two Magicstreams since the pool was installed 7 (has it been that long?) years ago. Last year after opening the colors were gone and the thumping stopped working. I replaced the orifice kit last year. So I can get the colored stream going, but the thumping still doesn't work. I've been...

I saw that link, but I don't think it's the same problem. My Flow light on the Intellichlor matches the display on my Intellitouch and if I increase the pump speed, the error message goes away and the Flow light goes back to green. Thanks. (That is a sincere "Thanks" not a snide, sarcastic...

I have a 21000 gal inground PebbleSheen pool installed in 2010. I have all Pentair equipment including an Intellitouch control system, a VS pump and an Intellichlor SWG. Up through last year, everything was going great. In fact, last year I barely had to do anything to the pool. My chemicals...

Thanks so much for the quick replies! I'll pick up some CYA at lunchtime. Maybe I'll get a FAS-DPD test as well. They did put salt in my pool when they shocked it, but for now, it's more of a softener. I'll still wait the 30 days before firing up the SWG. If anything does go wrong, I don't...

Forgot to add in the previous post that I don't know the CH number. When I tested it on 8/20, it was about 300, I think. I didn't test it this morning. The water looks pretty clear. While using the leaf rake this morning, the water gets a little cloudy as the rake moves through it, but then...

pH - 7.3 FC - 10 CC - 0 TA - 80 (a few days ago) CYA - ? New pool in the Boston area. Water went in on Aug 10. Startup company came on the 11th. We started the pump and they put some chemicals in the pool. I think it was mostly baking soda to conteract the acid wash of the pebble sheen. I...

My pool is almost ready. They're adding the water tomorrow after the pebble sheen is acid washed. The water is being trucked in. They say that I shouldn't add any chemicals for 10-14 days. What's the most important thing to watch for while the plaster cures? I presume it's pH. Is there...
