So I have my pool that is doing fine but I have a 1000gal fountain in the circle drive that I kinda treat like a little pool. It runs a pentair pump, cartridge filter and a chlorine tablet dispenser. We never swim in it but its built like a gunite pool with plaster. Anyway until recently (last...

I know this post is over 6 mo old now but I wanted to give everyone an update on the problem. Pentair warranty tech came out earlier in the year and replaced the salt cell again. A couple of weeks ago the same thing happened. Rep came 3 days ago and replaced a flow switch. He said the flow...

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure I was not chasing my tail. My TA always runs high and so does my PH.

Just wanted to see how often you guys are adding acid to your pools? Daily? Weekly? Monthly? I could probably add acid to mine two to three times a week, Is that normal?

This was the same problem I had, if you go to Grainger.com or one of their stores(if one is in your area) look under raw materials for plastic rod stock. They have several sizes in diameter and length to choose from. The solid plastic rod stock is very sturdy and I used a 3- 4 foot section that...

Jim, when it started my water temp was 59degrees and has done it with temps on the mid 60s Could that be the problem? if so why does the cell still produce chlorine?

Just wondering if anyone has had the same problem and whats the fix. About 2-3 weeks ago I started getting emails from screen logic with low salt alerts. So I checked my iPhone app and sure enough the salt level reads 0 but I know that can't be right. I was at 3350 2 days before. I am on my...

My salt level has been doing fine at 3400ppm until we started getting rain for the last two weeks, I swear it has rained hard every day in South Louisiana. I am guessing the rain has diluted the salt level. Last week, my SWG stopped working and the salt level reading on screen logic was 2400, I...

Easy Fix.....called the air supply tech support this morning, the pump speed at 3400rpm was creating to much pressure for the air blower. 2700rpm and it works fine now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Matt, I am going to play with it tomorrow and see it fixes the problem.

Could my pump speed be causing the problem? When the air blower is powered on in screen logic it automatically increases the rpm on the pump to 3440/min

When I turn on the spa blower, it comes on and runs for about 5 minutes and then shuts off. I have a silencer 1.5hp with 8 jets controlled by screen logic2. Anybody have a clue what could be causing it to shut off. It will not come back on until the next day and same result.

77 deg here in South Louisiana, my son was swimming today but he is part seal or polar bear, I stayed in the spa where its 100 deg.

I love my screen logic set up.....I had one small problem that was fixed by the Pentair guy under warranty. The wireless antennas have to be mounted upright or they will get water in them.....I also got the wireless remote for back up in case my internet had any problems. It is nice to control...

The Pentair rep came out today and determined it was the antenna, he was nice enough to change it out. He said it got water in the antenna. Works fine now, I have nothing but good things to say about Pentair and their customer service!!! Great company and employees.

Jim, its very weird, sometimes i can turn on pumps but not turn them off or lights, air blower etc... sometimes i can't turn them on at all. sometimes i can turn on a pump but not another pump, its very frustrating. Im not sure if the issue with the lights tripping the breaker has anything to do...

My screenlogic has pretty much become un reliable, Its acting very weird lately, it started about 2-3 weeks ago out of the blue and has gotten worse. I have a pentair remote that seems to be working fine but when I try to control anything with my iPhone, it works sometimes and sometimes it...

Done...Thanks Matt!!

PH-8.0 FC-5 cc-0 TC-5 CH 375 TA- 80 CYA- 70 Salt 3000 CSI is balanced at 0 TEMP 56 Should I be worried about or Lower PH???

Fill water is not bad at all... we have been getting a good bit of rain in south Louisiana the last month Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah ha. Borates... great idea. My PH trend hi in my pool and fountain and I was planning on adding borates to the pool soon. My TA in the fountain keeps dropping while PH rises it seams like I am adding acid and baking soda weekly. I assume it's because of the aeration of the fountain. Thanks...

The calcium hardness was 150 but I was increasing it to 250 because of pool math. I had a representative from pentair at my house a couple of weeks ago and he also recommended raising the calcium a little. So will a calcium level of 100-150 be ok for the plaster? I assumed it needed to be in a...

I was wondering about adding chemicals to my front fountain pool (we don't swim in it...lol). Is there anything wrong with mixing calcium in a 2 gal bucket of warm water to dissolve then pouring around the perimeter of the fountain and let my pump run on High to circulate the water for a...

Nice looking build!! How long did it take you to paint the plumbing pipes at the equipment pad? I have been thinking about doing this myself, the white pvc is driving me crazy.

Just curious how do you like the ColorQ Pro 7? sometimes I have a hard time with the colors and feel like I may not be accurate especially the PH

test every friday PH 8.2 FC6.5 CC.5 TC7 CH400 TA100 CYA45 I added Acid and CYA per pool math after those readings I check my PH and CL a couple times during the week and My PH trends up so I am adding acid and it usually hangs out around 7.8-8.0

Well, thats part of the problem, I had to fire my pool builder and finish the pool myself. This kinda forced me to learn everything on my own, he probably would have taught me incorrectly anyway so there is no love loss there. The electrician I subcontracted hooked up all the automation but he...

Thanks Jim, Not that I need to now but if I ever have to perform the SLAM process with my pool do you think it is possible to accomplish SLAM with my IC40 swg or would I be asking to much from it and have to add bleach to suppliment the FC level? Well i just found in the SLAM page to turn the...

Thanks, Mark. I understand cutting run time will save me in energy costs but are there any drawbacks to increasing the output of the SWG? Will that decrease the life of the SWG or no?
