Thanks for the clarification. Then my CC is .5 - - - Updated - - - Still evaluating. I'll probably get a SWG eventually. 1st season was pucks. This season is liquid chlorine. I'll make my decision for the 3rd season. What I hope never to see again is Algae. BTW, I'm getting the chlorine for...

Tested FC again this evening and loss was 3 ppm for a full 24 hrs. FC 18 CC 1 (Yesterday's reading was 3 ppm plus the 1 ppm from the OCLT = 4 ppm) Pool temp is now 78. Full sun but very filtered through the fine mesh super screen. Yes my CC readings were .5 before the high...

Did the OCLT this a.m. FC dropped 1 ppm and CC was 1 ppm. FC 24 CC 1 Tested FC this evening and loss was 3 ppm for the day. FC 21 CC 1

I'll be doing a lot of testing and try to arrive at the proper amount of Chlorine to add every few days or more. Also I have to compare this to how much the 2.5 gal jugs deteriorate sitting outside or in the garage. I have 2 of these. Used one and transferred the other to 1 gallon jugs and have...

Thanks everyone for all the replies. At first it seemed like a good idea. Needsajet: What I didn't consider is the loss of FC at a more rapid pace at the higher levels. If I'm losing 2 ppm per day at lower FC chlorine levels will this increase to 3 ppm or 4 or more a day at higher levels?

Hi. Had my 1st appearance of green algae. I thought it was from pollen as robot vacuumed it easily. Here were my readings on 4/25 when I began noticing it: FC 4 TC 4.5 TA 60 CH 225 CYA 50 PH 7.5 I had been using pucks but have now stopped. Slammed FC up to 24 and it has only dropped FC 1 and...

Re: Doheny's Discovery, S200, Active20, Triton owners club I've been using the pleated filter. Still don't know if the pleated is the fine filter. I have a screened pool cage and there are no leaves so I can't tell the difference. Wondering which filter everyone has been using.

Intermatic support was no help to the Electrician. All they did was say to use their add on $200 P4043ME expansion Module which not only didn't work but would not fit in the connection box. The Electrician agreed with me that he would get a 24 volt transformer and connect the Actuator to it via...

2 way or 3 way valves should work with the Pentair Actuator the PB supplied, just a matter of adjusting the stops. Not happy with the Pentair Actuators because the valve can't be moved without removing the actuator. Other brands can turn the valve by hand. But this is a minor inconvenience...

Yes that is the actuator I have. It is for 3-way valves and has 3 wires. It fit and is now mounted on a 2-way Jandy Valve. I believe there are versions for 2-way valves, but it still should work if the cam limits are adjusted. My main problem is the wiring.

My PB has one last thing to do and my pool will be finished. I finally got him to connect the deck jets to the feature pump where I wanted them. He installed a 2 way Jandy Valve in the plumbing going to the sheer waterfalls and it worked ok. Then he installed a Pentair CVA24 Actuator but...

Re: Doheny's Discovery, S200, Active20, Triton owners club I've been using the pleated filter but the basic screen looks like it does an even better job. Might be the DE powder that it picked up. Which filter is best to use? The more expensive Dolphin S300 models have a different basket that...

Since Walmart raised price of their 1 gal. 10% Chlorine to $3.67 I am considering buying somewhere else. I can get 2.5 gal. refillable/exchange Chlorine much cheaper but have concerns. Pool Stores have 12% 2.5 gal. for around $5.00 but are about 10 miles from my home. Ace Hardware has 10% 2.5...

Thanks for posting all the wonderful pictures. Glad you and your family are enjoying your pool and addressing the remaining problems. I know what you're going through as I have my own Punch List and PB back to his old slow routine again after his vacation. When considering your Robot don't...

I recently purchased the Doheny Discovery. It is actually the Dolphin S200. Very pleased with it. I don't need the all the extra features and price of the s300.

After 3 weeks of running, Bubbles in the Circulation Pump basket are gone even at the low 800 speed. I never mentioned that the 2nd pump, the Feature Pump for the Sheer Waterfalls had lots of bubbles even at the high speeds. Got that cured after I cleaned out the Pump basket. Found a 4" piece...

Re: Doheny's Discovery, S200, Active20, Triton owners club Looking forward to hearing how you like the robot cleaner as compared to your Polaris 380. I'm happy and think you will be too. I too appreciate this thread and the other Threads on Robot Cleaners and the Discovery that made it happen...

What percentage is the chlorine from pool stores and how fresh is it? The price is very reasonable for filling the 2.5 gallon containers. Pinch A Penny told me $5.00 after $7.00 deposit on container. I have a store very close by and that would be the only thing I'd buy from them other than...

Purchased the Doheny Discovery last week for my new pool. Used it twice and no problems, does the job. Had considered only suction cleaners before but saw several threads about the Discovery here on TFP and bought one before the sale ends.

Thanks. Another good thing about being GC. You pay the subs directly. I pay the PB and have to wait for Lien Releases. I'm 99% built, 90% paid and only 70% Lien Releases.

One thing I noticed is the the plumbing coming from the drains to the pump suction inlet. The installation instructions for my Pentair XF22005 Pump "recommends" 5x the pipe size for the distance from the elbow to the pump. My Circulation pump has 2.5" plumbing and about 12" so is ok. But my...

Cookies Solved! Now that my Pool Math is saving my settings I have renamed my Thread Pool Math Problem. Hope this is OK as another TFP Forum didn't like me starting new threads with similar subjects. Here is my newest Pool Math problem. This happened before and it seemed to be a rounding error...

Re: Pool Math Cookie Problem Gave you incorrrect info: I said changed setting to allow cookies and not erase at end of session. But what I actually did was only uncheck Clear history when Firefox closes. This fixes it!!!! But more puzzling why?

Re: Pool Math Cookie Problem Added .troublefreepool.com but it did not make a difference. Still won't hold settings. I tried something else that works. I changed setting to allow cookies and not erase at end of session. Can't keep this setting as it will add cookies from all websites but it...

Re: Pool Math Cookie Problem It is set for Allow. I see Default, Allow, Allow For Session, Block But the Allow button is the one filled in.

Been using Pool Math and find it very helpful, but have a problem I can't solve or find an answer to in the old threads: I can't save my pool size and readings after shutting down & restarting computer. Using Firefox as my Browser. It is set to allow cookies on all sites but erases them at...

Re: Doheny's Discovery, S200, Active20, Triton owners club Ran mine for the second time yesterday. When finished it ended upright in the same spot getting ready to climb the wall as the first time I used it. Did not see it stop so don't know if it was climbing the wall when it stopped. Could...

Re: New Frisco, TX Pool Build Updated 7/26 Gunite Complete The Shell looks real good. Looks very large comparing to my 35'x14'. Might be the Spa which I now wish I had room for. What are the dimensions of the pool? Hope they move along to plaster quickly now. I had to wait over 3 months and...

I'm relieved that there will be no confrontation with PB. "All's well that ends well" I have to deal with him for the warranties but hope I won't need him. :gone: Didn't seem like it would ever get done. We have to overlook the minor flaws and enjoy our pools. Everyone was right visitors don't...

Re: Doheny's Discovery, S200, Active20, Triton owners club Glad to hear you received it and it's working. Mine has cleaned the pool twice now. Picked up sand from the bottom that I couldn't see was there before. "Little Joe" climbed the walls and even cleaned the swimouts. But won't climb up on...
