CYA is closer to 40 than 30 so I am increasing my SLAM level to 16. I was targeting 14 this morning and FC is already down to 12 4-hours after morning dose. I just added more and will check again tonight. It is also looking a little better now after brushing the walls and vacuuming to...

Hi, I opened our pool for the season 3-days ago to already find a green pool with 50 degree water temperature. I have been SLAMing for 3-days with little to no improvement. I know I made a mistake initially vacuuming and assuming my sand filter would trap the algae. As soon as I realized...

Thanks for the reply. I think all the Algae is pretty much dead now, just cloudy. I think I will just wait and let the SLAM work like suggested. I would like to add a little Calcium to up my CSI and then install my SWG for the season. Since my PH and Alkalinity was good prior to SLAM, I...

Hi - I am doing my first SLAM since following the TFP method. Long Story short...a lot of rain and me miscalculating chlorine consumption under my mesh cover this year led to an opening algae bloom. A flock of birdz landing in what they though was a pond probably didn't help.... I started...

I have an IC40 that I put in summer of 2017 and have used it seasonally since (about 5-months a year). I replaced the flow/temp sensor once under warranty (thanks Pentair) and it is now acting up again. Over the weekend when it was hot out the flow sensor stopped working (resumed in the...

I found this just now on Amazon. Looks like it combines the best features of the popular ones so I am going to to give it a try and will report back.

I have a newer liner that I put in in fall of 2016. My previous liner was an unknown age and also unknown how the prior homeowner managed chemistry. I have an original Aquabot, but it destroyed the pattern on my previous liner, so I haven't used in in 5-years, just been manually vacuuming...

The thread linked in this post is closed to further comments so I am starting a new one. I mostly follow the TFP recommendations with the following modifications: I balance the chemicals and put the mesh cover on in late September/Early october before the leaves start falling. Since water is...

I tried the system status mode and if I did it correctly the temperature is reading 96-99F, when water temp is 83 on the Easytouch sensor... The odd part is that no lights lit up for 1,000 of hours of usage. My rough calculation based on seasonal usage for the past 3.5 years it should be...
