Have a new pool with pentair ic40. In the ScreenLogic app I have the pump with pool, and then have 2 features, “pool high” and “pool low.” When pool is selected, the swg runs. But if I use pool high/low, it shuts off (this is not dependent on the gpm/rpm). Any idea why the swg won’t run with...

So we are looking at a new house and I want to put a pool in, but its septic/well, haven't had either before. here is a site plan, are there any issues building near a septic? how close is too close? Can I put pavers over the well area? Dont want to move and find I cant do what I want. Thanks!

Ok, you all have ruined me and I get OCD with my numbers. But i love it. I test everything every week and probably micromanage too much. I get it. So we took over an 8 year old pool (mine for 2 years now) and the white plaster was super bumpy/rough. I assumed it was "calcium" and I had sanded...

So I have the Jandy PDA-PS6, the crappy laggy PDA control. I had the Jandy PLC1400 SWCG installed last year. They installed it in the separate box behind the main box so there is no input/control via the PDA. So, for no reason except I hate the PDA and want easier programs, i may upgrade to the...

I have 2 Jandy 2444 actuators (to change pool/spa mode jets/drains). They worked perfect last year. I had someone close my pool, then this year someone different opened it. And, the actuators dont work. I can hear them running/vibrating. I thought they were stuck in manual mode but couldn't...

New home, plaster pool (7 years old). Chemicals are all good (7.4, FC7, CC0, alk110, CH310). There are these stains all over the entire pool, noticed them from the opening. Pool is crystal. Put a small piece of chlorine tablet for 15 minutes. No change. So could be calcium scale or a messed up...

New pool...mostly fixed but noticed there is a tiny, very tiny leak of water just after the pump (there's more water in the pic due to my hose). After a few hours there is a small puddling of water and if I push just above the leak area, I can see a tiny tiny bubble but nothing significant. I...

Have a 7 year old new to me pool. The pump almost primes 100%, but there's always a little air in it. Sometimes coming out through the returns. He tightened the connections and it's a little better but not 100% like my old pump at my old house. I noticed this connection was leaking, it looks...

New house with 7ish year old pool. It has a XG ClearVision water purifier. I was going to switch over to a salt water chlorine generator (had one in my old smaller vinyl pool). Heres the question, I dont see a place to put chlorine tabs (see pic), am I missing something?!? Is the clear vision...

We are buying a home, central new Jersey, and they have a good sized gunite chlorine pool. It is now Nov 21, temperatures at night dip down into the 30s, and they have not winterized and closed their pool yet. They said "soon." Should I be concerned? There has not been any significant freezing...

We are buying a new home with a gunite pool built in 2008. I HAD a cartridge filter with one pump so this is all new. Any help or advice would be great. There is a "separation tank," what is that?? The filter is earth, I'm used to the ease of cartridge filters. 2 pumps? One for the hot tub...

(hate hijacked threads too!) @mas985, I love my in floor cleaning system and havent seen any major changes in my electric bill (or gas bill). Even if it does cost me a little more, Id still enjoy the benefits, but wouldnt mind a convo on really whats happening with energy and cost. :)

We have had a pool for 3ish years and have pavers, reddish dark, probably "generic pavers", and during the summer they can get a little hot. We now want to extend our patio and dont want to spend the 20k to. What are the other options that do not get hot. Thought about concrete and use my pavers...

I am trying to pump out some water to lower it below my sundeck (2 step levels) so I can spray on no-slip spray. I hooked up a hose to the hose bib on the pump. Turned on the pump and all is great down to the first step. Then went to go below the second step level and then it goes below the...

So I have a smaller pool and I run my pump for 3 hours a day (My pump turns over my pool water ~ every 67 min (I think)) and my FC is about 2 (everything is good, CC is <0.5). My cell is at 50%. So the general question is, is it better to increase my run time (to 4 hours) or to increase my cell...

Might be a dumb question, but im new lol and couldnt find any good pictures like mine. Basically, do you think this is algae or dirt? It rubbed a lot off with just a paper towel, some of it looks like ill have to scrub a little harder, but should come off. It didnt look "green" to me when I...

UPDATED - now with no slip steps! UPDATE! So I bought SlipDoctors Non Slip Resistant Spray for Fiberglass, Clear. I emptied the pool down below the steps and dried them off. I then spray on a layer (used a piece of cardboard from a box to hold along the edge), let it sit over night (but really...
