Thank you both!

I've been pouring muriatic acid into my pool for over 10 years. I opened a bottle today and it looked like dark urine. I looked it up and it sounds like it might have been contaminated with iron. I know iron in pool water can promote staining. I'm concerned about using this bottle of acid. Is it...

I got into the water valve today. It's an A&A low profile 6 port valve. I was able to clearly see sever gear teeth were broken. I reassembled and ordered a replacement gear kit. I'll keep my pump running at a minimum speed until the parts arrive so I don't hear the banging. As always I...

I noticed my water valve for my in-floor cleaning system is making a thumping noise. It starts with a slight clicking and the sound of swirling water builds up then a loud thump. After the thumping it gets quiet again.l Sometimes it's one thump and other times there are several consecutive...

Awesome! I found the sanitizer and successfully added my IC40. Thank you! When I started getting an error message I sent the message to Pentair through their Contact Us/Support via the Home App by clicking on the envelope in the top right. I selected "Device Support" and submitted my error...

I've had my IntelliConnnect with my VSF pump and IC40 connected for several years. Earlier this month I was receiving a communication error between the IntelliConnnect and the IC40. The IC40 is less than a year old and working. I had to disconnect the IC40 from the RS-485 connection block and...

I've read I should manage to CSI but should I be concerned if the CSI (.05) is good but the pH (8.2) is high?

I have two spots in my pool both in the bottom corners that appear to be rust from rebar. Both spots are 1cm or less. When I first saw them I swam down and hit the spots with a brush and I got a small reddish orange cloud in the water. Being that the spots are so small are there underwater patch...

Good to know. Thank you!

My IntelliConnect/IntelliChlor IC40 shows my salt level in 3500ppm. Testing with my Taylor K-1766 I get 3200 ppm. While I understand either reading is within normal I'm just curious which is more accurate not if it would make sense to use the average between the two.

Thank you. No more mixing for me.

Ok got it. I thought return meant return to the pump. Ok I'm a dumb Rear. I've always mixed MA into a 5 gal bucket of water. I have an infloor system. No return to pour into. Can I avoid mixing with water and just pour it in, maybe a little on each side? I'm trying to figure out if mixing is...

Can I pour MA directly into the top of the skimmer?

Can you pour it slowly into the return vs just outside the return?
