    Stenner pump on suction side?

    Greetings, Converted my pool to SWG a few weeks ago and have been working on an auto acid system to keep PH in check. I had a suction side saddle in place from removal of a Liquidator chlorine system and used that port to build a passive acid system. I used a acid proof adjustable valve...

    SWG conversion in pool with natural stone

    Greetings, My pool is 9 years old and I am considering adding a SWG system. When it was built, the pool builder was anti SWG, he was old school. The pool has been fairly trouble free as pools go, but dealing with liquid chlorine has always been a pain. The amount of plastic jugs and the...

    Greeting everyone, I have recently added a automatic valve to turn my spa spill over on and off. The plumbing side of the project went well. In the Itelli touch side of the system I found I needed to add an Auxiliary board to be able to plug in the valve actuator. I was able to...

    SWG and Pool surfaces

    Greetings everyone, We are coming up on four years of owning our new home and pool that was installed at the time of the build. When we built, our pool builder was old school and did not believe in SWG. He stated that the salt was corrosive to the surfaces of our pool. Our pool has a...

    Pentair Intellibrite 5G color - Fail

    My pool is just coming up on 2 years old next month and I just had one of my Intellibrite color LED lights fail. I had halogen lights in my previous pool and probably changed the bulbs once in a 19 year period. So much for LEDs lasting longer. Doing some searches on the internet it seems...

    Marathon SLAM

    So I'm 11 days into my SLAM with no end in sight. Our pool stays open all year and is only 8 months old. Pool has always been clear, but we did hit zero FC during the winter due to some bad advice from our pool builder. We had always closed our pools before moving south to the new house...

    SLAMing AGAIN!

    I posted up a while ago with some issues on rising PH and needing to SLAM. After getting my PH issues straightened out I needed to SLAM due to a high CC count. I was probably 95% through the slam process, but got called out of town on business and had to assume that my overnight test would...
