I seem to have no power on my easytouch j20 com connectors. I should have 15vdc across the red and black correct? My screenlogic does not power up and I show no voltage on the small board in the back and also on the j20 on the main board. LCD powers on and I can manually control any of the...

Drained most of my pool at the beginning of the year. Added about 8lbs of stabilizer over the course about a week. Pool store said I had a reading of about 60. Had to wait to get my new test kit, but when I tested myself, I am only getting about 20. I've tried the test a few times and I am still...

So for whatever reason I am only reading 1 psi on my filter gauge. I replaced the gauge because I thought it was defective. Still reading 1 psi on the gauge. I have flow from the drain and the skimmer and flow to the return jets. I have noticed that it is not that strong. I have a pentair 2hp...

I'm thinking about adding borates\borax to my pool sometime this season. However, we have small barn swallow birds that during the course of the day drink the water. They swoop down and grab a small amount of water as they fly over the pool. Will 50ppm of Borates hurt the birds?

My local fire company is willing to fill my pool. I have well water and I think they may be pulling the source water directly from the ground also. What would be an acceptable iron level to fill with? We have a pebble finish gunite pool.

I'm looking into an alternative to the screenlogic 2 automation for an EasyTouch 4. It uses the Spa Side Remote terminals in the panel. My question is can the 4 buttons be defined to turn on the main pool pump and the pool light? If so how? I do not have a spa.

I have a pebble finish plaster pool that had some steel furniture blow into the pool. The furniture was not rescued from the pool in a timely fashion and thus left a few rust stains about the size of a quarter. I was wondering what was recommended to remove the stains. I've heard of using...

What should I tackle first besides adding more liquid chlorine? Water looks great. Gunite pool. CYA 20 or less CH 150 TA 90 PH 7.2 C .5

Just opened my pool yesterday and I noticed today that my pentair pump won't turn on. My easytouch panel has power because the computer turns on and the side outlet works. I can hear the relay turn on when I press the "F" button for filter. My guess is that the breaker in the easytouch panel is...

I have a DE filter pressure gauge that is blurry, hazy or whatever you want to call it. The gauge works fine. I was wondering if there is a way to clean\fix this? I thought maybe a headlight restoration kit might work on the plastic.

The other day we had our pool closed by our pool builders company. One of the guys was talking to me about how the water looked this year. I said it was wonderful, I changed from tabs to liquid chlorine. He said " you shouldn't be using liquid chlorine all year, it's too corrosive". I said well...

Until recently I've been under the assumption that a filter should be run long enough each day to turn over the volume of water in the pool. I'm wondering what the minimum time I should be using now. I have a 2hp single speed pump and about 30k gallons of water. I am currently running 8 hours a...

It looks like I lost my protocol adapter due to a storm last week. I took the adapter apart and noticed that it is made up of two circuit boards. The top board is the one that connects your 4 wire power & communications and also has the red led light to show the unit is active. A second board...

I have some liquid and granular stabilizer that is about 5 years old. Is this too old to use? also which is better and how to a calculate the rise in CYA for a 30,000 gallon pool?

I want to protect my exposed pvc pipes around my pool equipment. I have heard that painting the pipes will protect them from the UV rays of the sun. I would like to keep them white. Any suggestions on what type of paint and how to apply?

I just did a 3/4 drain and fill after finding out that I had a cya of 95. Here are my numbers after filling my pool with our well. I did add some chlorine right after filling. What should I work on first and then second and so forth. FC 5 CH 175 TA 60 PH 7.2 CYA 30

I just got back from the local pool store and here are the numbers that they gave me. This is the first test of the year. (yes I added some LC when I opened). FC 2.7 PH 7.8 TA 44 TH 225 TDS 400 CYA 95 I have a gunite pool with about 28,000 gallons and in past years I have always used 3" tabs...

I have an easytouch control panel with the screenlogic2 interface. I have the latest firmware installed on the adapter and everything works fine except for the Ios sync of date and time. The panel is off by about 40 minutes (behind). I could set the time manually but the app is suppose to keep...

We finished having a new gunite pool installed last year and we are looking for advice on purchasing a robot cleaner. We use to have an above ground pool with an aquabot pool rover jr. We absolutely loved it and are partial to aquabot products. However I've seen a lot of negative reviews about...

Does anyone have any experience with Wet Edge's Primera Stone plaster? We are considering it as my wife does not like the texture of a normal pebble finish and does not like the chance of mottling and streaking of Diamond Brite. It's an expense upgrade and we are not sure if it's worth it.

We decided to install an inground pool in October of last year 2012. Our PB used Pentair equipment and Pool Studio for the designs. Gunite 2 HP Pentair Whisperflo Pump Pentair DE Filter Pentair Easy Touch (4 Relays) 1 Skimmer 1 LED Light Sun Step w\Bubbler & Umbrella stand Swimout Here is...

We are trying to decide on a color for our new pool installation. We originally wanted to go with Pebble Tec, but thought it was too rough on our feet and we don't think we can afford Pebble Sheen. So we are back to Diamond Brite and want to minimize any mottling in the color and streaks and so...

Our concrete contractor wants to pour and stamp our concrete and then come back the next day and seal. I think this is way too soon since the concrete is still curing. I know they want to do the saw cuts the following day also, which is fine with me. Anyone have any thoughts? I know that most...

We are in the process of installing a new pool in southern NJ. We are getting close to the point of having to choose a plaster type. Our options are diamond brite or pebbletec. We do not want any variation on the color and have seen a few diamonite brite installs that have a small amount of...

Does anyone know if the pentair aqualuminator pool light will fit an intex metal frame pool? Will the side walls support the weight and does the hole in the pool have to cut bigger?

I have a sungrabber solar panel for an aboveground pool and I noticed my DE filter pressure went from about 12 to 20 when I added the panel in the loop. Should I be concerned? Or should I find a dedicated pump just to move the heated water, and stay with the main pump (1 hp) to do the filtering...

Can anyone explain to me the differences between these products. While you're at it explain to me why they have alot of products that are almost duplicates with different names.

I have an above ground pool (intex) 24' round with a hayward EC-50 and 1 horse pump. The unit worked fine the first year of operation. Last year and this years startup have been troublesome. I have constant high pressure after a short period of time. Last year I would have to "bump" everyday and...
