I need to replace my IC-40, so I was going to put in an IC-60. When googling, I keep coming across a generic version made by 'splash'. Any feedback from anyone on using that unit? Does it still just plug into my pentair intellichlor power center? Any suggestions on where to buy these cells at a...

There's been a bit of a heat wave in southern Ontario and my pool got away from me. Noticed some green sediment on the bottom. About to start a slam, but the dolphin has been sitting in there for a couple days. I see lots of threads about whether it's helpful to run the robot, but that not my...

First off, applogies for not posting a full set of results. I'm waiting for my R0013 to arrive and I haven't been testing PH during SLAM. FC 11.5 CC 1 CYA ~30 (as measured before starting slam) CH 225 TA 60 Ph 7.3 (pre slam) I've been in a slam for several days upon opening. I just did an...

Hi All. Last year, I struggled to find a leak in my pool. I had one hole patch, but was assured there were no more leaks. Well, my pool has been closed for 3 months, and it's almost empty. The liner is at end of life, so I'm just gonna replace it in the spring. I've never had to buy a liner...

Hi Everyone. Over the last couple seasons, I've got the feeling that I'm having to add more water that I should. It's been hard to gauge because we've only had the pool for 3 seasons. last year when I opened, the water level had dropped quite a bit, but I also had a tarp failure so there was...

Ok, so can someone double check my logic? I have a Hayward SuperPumpII that is loosing prime when the pool is off for a while (several hours). Because I don't want the pump to run dry, I've left it running 24hours, it keeps the pool clean, it also keeps my wallet clean if you know what I mean...

FINALLY! My CC dropped to zero, and the water is clear. I want to do the OLCT tonight, but it's supposed to rain. A lot. Just asking myself if the results will be valid. As I type this I'm thinking that if it passes the OCLT DESPITE a lot of rain, then I'm probably fine? Maybe I've answered...

Hey All. I feel like I should know the answer, but I don't and need confirmation. We opened a bit later after a warm spring with a cover failure at some point. Pool was light green, but opaque. I immediately started the SLAM and have held the FC around 24* for the last 6 days. The water is...

Looks like Rio isn't following the TFP method. (am I too late, has this joke been made?) Sent from a tiny keyboard.

Can someone check my math and see if I'm doing this correctly? I have a pentair IC 40 which claims to produce 635g of 'pure chlorine' per 24 h period (I assume this is at 100%). so I run my pump 12 hours (3 hours, 4 times per day due to time of use pricing). I feel that gives sufficient...

So, at long last I got my new equipment pad built, enough that I could set my equipment up anyway. Due to a complete rebuild of the equipment pad including new pump, I finally 'opened' the pool. (is there a specific forum to post pics of stuff like that?) I took the cover off last week and...

When I closed last year I used antifreeze in the suction and return lines (RV/Boat/Pool AF) because I was using duck plugs for the first time. So I'm about to clear these lines. if I blow the Anti Freeze into the pool, any idea how that will affect my chemistry? Should I test and balance...

I need some advice. I haven't opened my pool yet (new pump and equipment pad going in... long story, will post pics when done). I still have a blue tarp on it. I wanted to go TFPS this year, but my test kit hasn't come in yet. I don't want to wait any longer before I open the pool, and I...

Background: my hayward super pump 1hp pump (came with house) was screaming when it ran. I bought some replacement bearings for it, but when I took the motor apart, it wasn't in great condition, there was a lot of rust and corrosion to the point that the back bearing would NOT come off. It had...

Just to set the scene. We have very low (deep) jets (I have to lie on the deck and I can JUST reach them). We have a basic winter cover (tarp). To avoid draining practically 1/3 of the pool at closing, I used 'duck plugs' after getting some good feedback about them in a previous post. This...

Hi TFP. This year we tore out a section of the deck that the equipment sat on and are building a new pool shed that the equipment will sit IN (one side equipment, one side change area/storage, etc). Problem is I won't be at the point where I can connect the filter in it's permanent home until...

Hello pool folks, This is my first time closing my 18x36 in ground SW pool. The design is such that the returns are about half way down the shallow end wall (about 2 feet give or take) which means a LOT of draining. The pool store recommended 'duck plugs'...
