Has anyone tried using a pond diaphragm pump to inject air bubbles into the pool to raise PH? Presently using my pool water feature (scuppers) to create aeration but it uses 2 hp of electricity 12 hours every time I want to raise PH from 7.0 to 7.8 to allow another round of muriatic acid use. I...

My Maxetherm 400 is 6 years old. The installer used galvanized pipe (3/4 to 1 inch pipe) about 3 inches long on the bottom of the front manifold to install a pressure relief valve. Over time, this pipe has corroded to the point that it sprung a leak. I am mad on myself for not noticing sooner...

I recently installed an IC60 SWCG. I adjusted the chemistry as prescribed by TFP. I increased the CYA to 80 ppm and I am surprised as to how little chlorine is evaporating. Its kind of made it difficult to set up the cell. I am in Texas (near Houston) with temperatures between mid 70s to mid 80s...

My 6 year old Intelliflo VS pump frequently but not always alarms (overcurrent) and stop when it goes into priming mode. Now, being familiar with industrial pumps and drivers, I know that during start there is an amp surge that recedes after the startup (milliseconds) event reaches steady...

Hello, This is the first time I run into this problem. I can't turn off my Intelliflo either from the panel or using Screenlogic. The pump is not scheduled to run. When I press the Easy Touch Filter Pump button with a small red light, it wont do anything and the pump keeps running. When I go to...

I am selling a 7 year used FNS 60 Plus DE filter. It has been in use and was removed from service today (4/7/2023). The reason for replacement is that it is too big for me to service by myself and I am allergic to DE. My kids have moved on ! I just installed a much smaller cartridge filter, it...

Hello All, I am installing an IC60 SWG and will be connecting it to the Pentair EZ Touch 8. I have been reading a lot of threads learning what has been said in the past so that I can post semi intelligent questions. Presently, I run my Intelliflo VS 24/7 at about 1200 RPMs, ramping up (aux 7)...

Hello ! I have not had to SLAM my 25k gals inground pool for 5 years. I have used the Stenner pump chlorine injection system. CC < 0.5 ppm more like 0.2 ppm I keep the CYA between 30 and 55 PPM. FC is controlled between 5 to 9 ppm Water is crystal clear and never had algae. The pool has not...

Hello Fellow Members, I live in a subdivision that has fairly strict HOA rules. I moved here 5 years ago and noticed that after heavy rains, my neighbor drains the pool into his back yard. He does not have an underground drain to bring the water to the front curb and when he drains his pool in...

Does CYA stratify in the pool? Is CYA of lower density than water and stays on the water surface? The reason I ask is because it seems like I lose quite a bit of CYA after the pool overflows during an average rain event. My perception is that to lose so much CYA is because it accumulates at the...

I just purchased this Robot from Marina pools and received it last Friday May 1. Marina has a very good price for these robots. The new robot, named Tony, is replacing a Pentair Racer named Buddy. The Racer is a pressure side cleaner. It lasted 3 seasons. The Racer performed well, but is at the...

My Stenner pump trips randomly. It may run for several days without a trip. I run it up to 60 minutes twice a day for a total of 120 minutes. Its the 10 GPD size Stenner. When it first happened I got me a GFCI circuit tester and it shows that the circuit is wired correctly. See below for some...

Hello, I understand that CYA protects Chlorine by providing a shield on the surface of the water. (Correct me if I am wrong). If CYA does not mix homogeneously with water, then what is the best depth to sample it for testing. It seems to me that the deeper you collect the sample the less CYA...

I just opened and cleaned the Pentair FNS 60 DE filter. I removed and reinstalled the bottom drain plug to clean the filter. I put some teflon tape on the plug threads. Reassembled the filter. Loaded the new DE. Now I found out I have a drip out of the bottom plug.I tried tightening but it is...
