Actually I have a Pentair VS pump installed 2 months ago :) Actually I'm thinking about a robot. The in-floor cleaning system works OK, so once a week I need to vacuum the bottom of the pool from smaller leaves and dust. Thank you! :)

Thank you Kim, I was hoping for a personal experience with pool cleaners. Thanks! Daniel

Hi, My pool has the in-floor cleaning system, but previous owners plugged the main floor drain. The effect is that all debris sit on the floor. I brush every 2-3 days and vacuum once a week, but I need some help :D (too many chores!). I'm not sure what was the reason or thinking to plugged the...

Thank you! I just need to explain to my dogs :) right now they hate me.

a week?! wow I though it will go much faster. My poor dogs want to cool down in the pool so badly :) . We still have over 100F. Ok, I will keep going. I wouldn't call it "slightly", it's rather milky. Should I backwash the filter more often e.g. every day? It's not good for the filter to do...

I think I need more help / advices about my cloudy pool water. I did SLAM the pool, kept FC level at 23-24 for over 48 hours. The CC is 0 or definitely less than 0.5, the overnight loos is around 1-2 but the water is still cloudy. I found an article about adding small amount DE to a sand...

Thank you! That' very helpful.

Thank you! I will do it tonight. My SWG is working at 60% for 8 hours. At the end of the day i have around 3-3.5. Should i increase SWG % fo increase time? Or both? is it OK to run SWG at 100% every day? It was ok for a month (SWG was installed a month ago) so, I'm not sure what's happened.

Hi, 3 months ago my pool was re-plasterd (Stonescapes Mini Pebble). Two days ago water become kind fo murky, colloidal. I check water chemistry: TA -80 ph - 7.8 CH - 400 CYA - 70-80 FC - 3.5 Is it time to slam the pool? Is it a problem with algae? If I need to SLAM, should i keep the salt cell...

It's been 3 months and still adding acid. It looks like TA stable now at 70-80 but need to add acid every other day.

Several weeks ago my pool was refill after re-plastering. Everything looks good, except pH rises on daily basis. I need to add acid almost every day to keep pH in range. Do you know why is that? Also TA is going down not as fast as rising pH but still. In the last 8 weeks I had to add baking...

Thank you Jim, This is very helpful. I didn't even think to check egg timer and you were right, every single circuit wa set for 12 hours. I changed everything to 0, except spa 1 hour. I thought that ET 4 means that I can have only 4 features but it doesn't limit the number of schedules. I...

Sorry, it's pool time for the dogs. I think I can play with the schedules to get what I want, but the biggest problem I have is that the schedule doesn't stop. Do you have any idea why? The pic of the panel is below

I don't have PC, I am a Mac person. I tried to install Mac version, however Mac doesn't allow me to open it saying that the app is from unidentified vendor and is dangerous. I tried to turn off the security settings and still nothing :( Do you have any idea how to install it on Mac?

Hello, I'm looking for some advice regarding the automation. Yesterday new iChlor30, InteliFlo 3HP and ET4 with ScreenLogic2 were installed. Everything looks good except I have problem to set up schedules. Using screenLogic2 and ScreenLogic config on my phone I have set up several schedules...

I still don't know many things about my pool. I moved in 3 months ago and have been using it for only 10 days. I have no idea what pump i have, besides it's a single speed and a sand filer. I can only estimate that this is a 23-25k gallon pool. I use TF-100 test. CYA -30, TH - 320, TA - 120, Ph...

I apologize for delayed response. Hard time at work. Here is a pic of what i think you refer to. I tried to close all other valves on the return line and open only that one. No water movement from this at all but the infloor system is still working, so now i think that this valve can be just for...

Yes, the spa is higher and when I open the Spa make up line (or I called spa inlet) spills over into the pool. I can't find any "water feature" so have no idea what's this valve for. THANK YOU! Still don't know why the MD in the pool is not working and where is connected :)

Everything possible. I'm trying to figure this out. I took a pic of the debris canister and the equipment. there are two lines point to the canister. I THINK , one is going from the skimmer and the second one is coming from the spa drain (not sure). I labeled what I know so far, although it can...

My first pool was with the in-floor system and I loved it. This is the second one (I moved 3 months ago) and trying ot figure everything out. I just finished re-plastering so never actually used the pool. I don't like all the hoses in the pool, but it's my personal opinion.

Thank you fop your reply. I don't think it's debries. As you can see on those pics, it looks like the other line is closed up with a plastic plug. This pool has an in-floor cleaning system. so how all debries from the bottom of the pool are going to be removed if the main drain is not...

Hello! I just moved to a home with quite old pool (20-25yo). Just finished replastering and the pool is back and running. However, besides several small leaks around filter, i relized that the skimmer has one line closed. in my opinion also the main drain is not working at all. I have a...

Thank you All for your comments. That's was my impression that they want to sell whole package. The pool at my previous house was a chlorine pool and I was taking care of it by myself (thanks to you all here). It was my first pool ever but I did it :) . I'm planning to take care of this pool too...
