Every time I fire up my heater I smell the gas. The question is am I suppose to smell it? The vent is low so that’s what I assume why but isn’t it kind of strange that I can smell the odor 30 ft away when in the pool?

Pool is turned off but cell is saying it detects flow and is good to go.

Hi all, I’ve been noticing the last few weeks when ever the pool starts up it sounds like water is filling the pipes (close to the heater) then eventually it all settles down. This is accompanied by a plethora of bubbles being pushed out of the returns. My question is why does this keep...

The dreaded freeze is coming and expected to happen every night for 4 days in a row. My pool is thermal protected so good to go there. My worry this time is for my palm trees. Last year they were killed by one night of hard freezing so you can imagine my concern for the new ones I planted last...

Hi all, My salt cell is saying low salt for the last 2 weeks. It was reading 3300 the week before this happened. Test strip said 3100 when I tested after light came on. Added 2 bags of salt, test strip says 3500. However, the low salt light is still lit. Also, I had this issue a few months ago...

When my pool turns on it starts at 1600 rpm for 2 seconds then goes to whatever rpm I have set. Seems like a priming issue, no? Water is completely filled in the basket. However, when I turn the valves to spa mode it primes like it should for 15 seconds. Is this normal behavior or do I have...

Hi all, I have an 18k gallon pool an an IC20 SWG. I know this is not the recommended size as people always say to go 2 times as big and I even said this to my builder but they insisted it would be fine. Well, it's obviously not as it's not keeping up with demand. A little info, I run my pump...

I know they say to clean this sort of filter 1-2 times a year. I also hear many people clean before the start of pool season. I've had my pool for about 9 months now and I cleaned the filters (4 cartridges) in October. I'm not noticing anything strange and the pressure on my filter has remained...

Hi all, I've had the pool up and running for a about 8 months now and everything has gone pretty smooth (aside from a SWG not working correctly). I've been running my pump at 1800 with no problems whatsoever to keep the spillover working as intended. If i drop the pump to 1600 the spillover...

Just popped up 2 days ago. Nothing seems abnormal otherwise. Thoughts? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u96RxVv1bgQ&feature=youtu.be

I have one more week to prepare. I've heard conflicting reports on whether to seal or not. So what say you TFP brethren? 1. or 2.

Hi all, Cleaned out the the pump basket (Intelliflo Variable Speed) put it back, and fired up the system (primes for 10 minutes at 3450 rpm before going back to normal speed). Was brushing the pool and noticed the spa overflo was doing nothing. Checked skimmers and noticed no suction there...

Hey all, I know this isn't a complicated question but I just want to make sure I'm getting the right product. I've been using a SS brush during the first 2 weeks since my pool was plastered. My pool guy said I should switch over to a nylon brush because it might be too hard on the plaster. I've...

Hi all, 2 weeks into brand new pool owner ship and I have a TF100 kit with speed stirrer on the way. As of right now I have a basic pentair test kit and my pool is running on pucks for the moment (soon to change). My current pentair readings are this. over 3 chlorine (stops at level 3, dark...

Pretty much complete. There are still a few issues that the PB needs to address before it's finished and we're hoping they take care of them to our satisfaction. Glad to join the forum and I'm already learning so much.
