    Normal acid usage

    I add about a half gallon a week (although I can only get the half strength stuff around here).

    Pentair Easytouch Wireless Remote Problems

    No, I have not completely solved my issues. What i did is take some bulk ethernet cable and made a very long cable for the transducer. I then tried moving the transducer around the yard to various points and then trying to use the remote at various locations. I am quite confident the issue is...

    Pentair Easytouch Wireless Remote Problems

    4. No new appliances that I can think of. 5. I did get a new router, but I've tried pulling the plug on it and then testing the easytouch remote and it had no effect. I actually have a couple of baby monitors also (that I've had for the duration of the pool and never caused any problems...

    Pentair Easytouch Wireless Remote Problems

    1. Yes, I've replaced the batteries several times since then in the remote. 2. Yes, I've tried re-addressing the units several times. It always says it works (channel found), but doesn't improve the reception. 3. If I recall correctly, there are two LED's on the board, one would blink slow...

    Freeze Damage, please advise

    Here are a couple of pictures of the installation and the damage. The first picture shows how they re-plumbed it after I told them it was flowing backwards. The cold water flows up to the roof in the pipe on the uphill side and then goes over the top of the other pipe and across the entire...

    Pentair Easytouch Wireless Remote Problems

    Ugh... so nobody else with an easytouch remote has had this difficulty I take it? I was going to play around this weekend with 100 feet of ethernet cable and try my remote out with the transceiver at different locations. Unfortunately the weather was just too Dang beautiful and I ended up just...

    Pentair Easytouch Wireless Remote Problems

    Hey all, I have a Pentair EasyTouch system with an 8 channel wireless remote. For almost 3 years now the remote has worked great. Never had any troubles with it. Now for the last 6 months or so, I'm having serious connection troubles. 99% of the time now the remote will just say "No...

    Can the Ozonator go before the inline Chlornator?

    Beep, I'm not sure where you read those things but all of your reasons seem to be mis-informed. I have a Pentair SWG and in the 3 years I've owned the pool, I've given it maintenance only 2-3 times... and that involved simply unscrewing the couplers, and cleaning the plates by letting it soak...

    Freeze Damage, please advise

    Well, that's how they originally had it plumbed, but the same summer the pool was built (3 years ago) I had them switch it to fill from the bottom. I'm definitely going to crawl back up there and take some pictures though and make sure I'm correct on which way the water is flowing. I'm...

    Freeze Damage, please advise

    Hey all, been a LONG time since I've posted, please forgive me. I'm in Tucson, AZ and recently we had some record low temperatures. Low temps for a couple nights in a row got down to about 18 degrees. Luckily my freeze protection in my automation system (easytouch) protected the main...

    Loud Blower on Heater

    I do have all Pentair equipment. I'll try giving them a call directly. Otherwise I'll just start taking it apart!

    Loud Blower on Heater

    I have a Sta-Rite Max-E-Therm 400 gas heater that has developed a very loud blower. It used to be virtually silent and the loudest part was hearing the gas ignite. Now the blower has a loud resonance, like something in the blower is out of balance. Anybody have any experience with these...

    Foaming problem in a chlorine (tablets) pool

    I'm surprised nobody has asked for water chemistry results. If he's chlorinating the pool with tablets, then he's obviously adding CYA at the same time. What are his current FC, CC and CYA levels? I would suspect he has some contaminate in the water that isn't effectively being broken down by...

    GG, if you call that 'answering really quickly', I'd hate to see what you could do if you put some thought into it!

    What kind of Slide, please!

    We use one of these: It was just sitting outside on our patio anyway for when the kids are playing outside so we just moved it over to the edge of the pool... It's no waterpark slide, but our 2 and 3 year olds enjoy it! :) Eventually when they're older I hope to put in a big one like MNB has!

    Can a Solar heater cool a pool at night?

    Which in practice makes this difficult to do if you have an automatic system. You'd have to disable the automatic system force the valves to flow through the solar panels.

    Tucson Pool by Clark's design by yours truely!!!

    Thats an in-floor cleaning system. They're little water jets that pop up out of the floor and spray the dirt and debris towards the deep end drain where it gets sucked up. AZGASSER, beautiful pool? Who was your builder?

    need opinion on Pentair Intellichlore SWG

    I like mine. The wireless integration with the easytouch is really nice too... you can adjust your settings easily from your couch. I think Pentair is a good solid brand in all their pool equipment.

    Is there a chemical to detect urine in the pool?

    Yes, it's called water. If you add a little bit to a pool, then you are guaranteed to have pee in it.
