I have these but have some mixed results. Any little secrets I am missing?

I hear you. That is what I am doing.

I feel your pain! Mine is doing the exact same thing! Pentair as well. I called today to have it replaced under warranty a second time!

I have backwashed 3 times. First time it went out after the 2nd back wash. This time after 1!!!! Not good.

Sorry, I just saw this. I have been absent for a while. If you still need to discuss ping me offline. Happy to!

All of our pool equipment is Pentair. Yesterday I notice our back wash valve is leaking at the top. This is the second time this has occurred. We had it replaced under warranty back in January. (Pool is less than a year old). Has anyone else had any issues with this back wash valve? I am a...

Did a backwash on our filter back in early August. The site glass for the backwash was clear when we did the backwash, (of course it changed as we back washed the filter, then went clear again). Today I noticed that the site class in a beautiful shade of green. Is that normal? Should I be concerned?

We are sitting at 90. THI last week was well over 100. Right now it is 88 but feels like 93.

Some pics of the pool now that we have had it completed a couple of months and the yard is coming back into shape. Pool temp was 88 today! We have been in it since it was 76! I included a bird's eye view of the design so you can see how close it came to what we were presented. Terry

Both of us turning 54 this year. First pool build completed in April. We love the idea and our married kids and GRANDS love it! Good excuse to get them to come over.

Will do. The Chlorine test result was a 5. I am keeping an eye on PH. It is actually down a tad from my first test with the builder kit. Will likely have to add some acid at some point. I have the water feature off. With the rain and water feature did not want the PH to go higher.

Test kit arrived today. Here are my first results. Keep in mind we had heavy rain yesterday and I had shocked the pool on Sat morning. Also no CYA. The tube is cracked and leaks as fast as I can fill it. I have requested a new one. FC 7.5 PH 7.8 CH 275 TA 100 Keep in mind this is a new pool...

Sorry for the late response! It is indeed Wet Edge Satin Matrix - Antigua. We love it! Amanda was kind enough to let us see hers before we committed to it. We zeroed in on it early.

Thanks all for the comments. Kim, signature line updated!:D

Thanks all. The pool has had water for over a week in it and we are seeing no evidence of an issue. Needsajet, we are addressing the downspout. We are going to put in a underground drain to take the water away from that area. We had noticed that as well. Here are some pics of the pool taken today.
