    Advice for High Stabilizer

    I have the test strips from Lowes, which definitely are not accurate. But they showed both chlorine at 10+ and the stabilizer at 140-150.

    What does Watts Actually Mean on Pentair Intelliflow?

    Hey folks! I've been reading this forum for years whenever I get in a bind with my pool, so I wanted to say thanks in advance for having a great forum! I finally came across a question that's not directly answered here though so I had to register and ask. I recently bought an Intelliflow 3HP...
