Why would it be that the same screen on my app does NOT show Pentair Intellinrite but Intellinrite is in the list on the wall controller? Using the wall controller to control my new Intellinrite light still does not work correctly - only turns it On and off, comes on on the same color splash...

I did a careful, repeated testing today. Pool: FCl - 4.5 pH - 8.0* TA - 90 Calcium - 750 Salt - 3600 Cya - 70 Fill water from dedicated exchange tank: pH - 7.4 TA - 230 Calcium - 350* Salt - <200 House water: TA - 250 Calcium - 0 My take: -The exchange tank dedicated for my pool fill water is...

I’ve never noticed this happen with filter cleanings before.

The testing was triple-checked by my pool man, although I will do my own verification tomorrow, haven’t had a chance yet, and I’ll check the fill water at the same time. His numbers have been reliable in the past. We are not on LA city water; in Camarillo it is a small local water company from...

Thanks. I’ll check the numbers on the fill water; even if it didn’t have a softener tank on it, that jump in one week is still much higher than I would have expected. Another thought- I forgot that I had the filter tank cleaned out and recharged with DE a couple of weeks ago. Could that cause a...

I have a salt pool. Everything has been stable, Cl 4-6, pH 7.8, TA 70, cya 50 for a couple of months. Don’t add much other than a touch of muriatic acid weekly. All of a sudden on weekly test today, TA is 120. pH 8.0. What can cause TA to jump like that? Value was rechecked, nothing added during...

Thanks all.

I have a 40,000 gal plaster pool with a Circupool salt generator. Recently, I've been getting some widely disparate readings from different testing methods. Just now: Cell - 3100 Pool man - 3200 (electronic) Dipstick - 3200 Taylor K-1766 (twice) - 3800 Leslie's - 3616 I know it may seem...

Definitely a good thought that I had as well. When I hear back from the company regarding my current cell, I’ll talk to them about that. Thanks.

Thank you. FCl 2.5 (usually keep 4-6). Bleach added. pH 7.8 TA 80 cya 70 salt 3600 calcium 360 i did the algae test, ruled out. Cleaned grids, no algae. I did not do the GAIN test. I know my pool and system well. I’ve had salt cells for years and know exactly what to expect in different...

A year and a half ago, growing tired of fighting with my Jandy PCL1400, I decided to switch over to a Circupool RJ60+. Installation and function were fine but after less than a year, my Chlorine levels started to drop. Chemistries were all good, my pool is only 40,000 gal. I sent the cell back...

Hello, I've been reading a number of threads on solar pool heater panels and saw a lot of information. I've also gleaned a lot of data from various websites. I live in Camarillo, CA, near Ventura. Nice temperate weather but occasionally some pretty gusty Santa Anna winds. After 14 good years...

While I'm still waiting for the new part, I've been playing with it some more. As I said, I notice that frequently when It doesn't start up flapping away when the pump turns on, the head is vacuum sucked - strongly - to the floor of the pebbletech pool. It take some pulling to get it to move but...

Ok, working on it again and I actually found a place that when the suction starts, even on low, and the flapper is in that position, it pulls up against the housing and doesn’t move. Takes a nudge to get it going. I guess that is a manufacturing defect, because I’ve been in it very carefully and...

Off and right back on sticks half the time. Stop At the same spot in the pool? No. It covers the pool quite well. I’ve found it stuck to the floor or side where it stopped in many places. Is the skirt so new it doesn’t leak and alllow suction break? Is a different skirt the key? it seems I’m the...
