Why would it be that the same screen on my app does NOT show Pentair Intellinrite but Intellinrite is in the list on the wall controller? Using the wall controller to control my new Intellinrite light still does not work correctly - only turns it On and off, comes on on the same color splash...

I did a careful, repeated testing today. Pool: FCl - 4.5 pH - 8.0* TA - 90 Calcium - 750 Salt - 3600 Cya - 70 Fill water from dedicated exchange tank: pH - 7.4 TA - 230 Calcium - 350* Salt - <200 House water: TA - 250 Calcium - 0 My take: -The exchange tank dedicated for my pool fill water is...

I’ve never noticed this happen with filter cleanings before.

The testing was triple-checked by my pool man, although I will do my own verification tomorrow, haven’t had a chance yet, and I’ll check the fill water at the same time. His numbers have been reliable in the past. We are not on LA city water; in Camarillo it is a small local water company from...

Thanks. I’ll check the numbers on the fill water; even if it didn’t have a softener tank on it, that jump in one week is still much higher than I would have expected. Another thought- I forgot that I had the filter tank cleaned out and recharged with DE a couple of weeks ago. Could that cause a...

I have a salt pool. Everything has been stable, Cl 4-6, pH 7.8, TA 70, cya 50 for a couple of months. Don’t add much other than a touch of muriatic acid weekly. All of a sudden on weekly test today, TA is 120. pH 8.0. What can cause TA to jump like that? Value was rechecked, nothing added during...

Thanks all.

I have a 40,000 gal plaster pool with a Circupool salt generator. Recently, I've been getting some widely disparate readings from different testing methods. Just now: Cell - 3100 Pool man - 3200 (electronic) Dipstick - 3200 Taylor K-1766 (twice) - 3800 Leslie's - 3616 I know it may seem...

Definitely a good thought that I had as well. When I hear back from the company regarding my current cell, I’ll talk to them about that. Thanks.

Thank you. FCl 2.5 (usually keep 4-6). Bleach added. pH 7.8 TA 80 cya 70 salt 3600 calcium 360 i did the algae test, ruled out. Cleaned grids, no algae. I did not do the GAIN test. I know my pool and system well. I’ve had salt cells for years and know exactly what to expect in different...

A year and a half ago, growing tired of fighting with my Jandy PCL1400, I decided to switch over to a Circupool RJ60+. Installation and function were fine but after less than a year, my Chlorine levels started to drop. Chemistries were all good, my pool is only 40,000 gal. I sent the cell back...

Hello, I've been reading a number of threads on solar pool heater panels and saw a lot of information. I've also gleaned a lot of data from various websites. I live in Camarillo, CA, near Ventura. Nice temperate weather but occasionally some pretty gusty Santa Anna winds. After 14 good years...

While I'm still waiting for the new part, I've been playing with it some more. As I said, I notice that frequently when It doesn't start up flapping away when the pump turns on, the head is vacuum sucked - strongly - to the floor of the pebbletech pool. It take some pulling to get it to move but...

Ok, working on it again and I actually found a place that when the suction starts, even on low, and the flapper is in that position, it pulls up against the housing and doesn’t move. Takes a nudge to get it going. I guess that is a manufacturing defect, because I’ve been in it very carefully and...

Off and right back on sticks half the time. Stop At the same spot in the pool? No. It covers the pool quite well. I’ve found it stuck to the floor or side where it stopped in many places. Is the skirt so new it doesn’t leak and alllow suction break? Is a different skirt the key? it seems I’m the...

I've had a Kreepy Krauly for many years and it has served me well. Every year or so I replaced the pleated seal and that was it. Recently, it was just too beat up and ready to be put out to pasture. With such an easy and effortless history, I just purchased the new model of the same device. I...

Thank you so much! Makes good sense. I expect as much from a fellow Tucsonan- I was born and raised in the Old Pueblo, left after undergrad at U of A. You see what my minor in chemistry from there got me 😂. Hopefully a lower TA will let me cut down on muriatic acid. I probably can guess, but...

Thanks so much. I was ahead of you on the municipal supply readings: using the K-1766, I got 300ppm from both the untreated municipal supply (irrigation spigot) as well as the outflow after the resin exchange softener. I have no idea how to figure evaporation rate other than to say it's probably...

Fascinating, thanks. So the K-1766 is actually measuring chloride ion, good to know. The "salt" number reported by my salt cell also rises in accordance with the K-1766 number. -Do the salt cell electronics also measure chloride ion then? -If so, taking it one step further, what is adding Cl- to...

My softener is an exchange resin tank switched out on a schedule. I don’t add salt or backwash it.

Thanks, I agree it is odd. Many people here describe splashing and playing causing (salt) water loss. No kids at home anymore, no splashing and playing. Cell takes care of chlorine just fine. Because of the high Ca, does require a fair amount of muriatic acid to keep pH 7.8 or less to keep CSI...

I've been having a quandry with my salt pool's salt levels steadily rising without the addition of any exogenous salt by me. Testing is with the Taylor 1766 kit. Recently it was up to around 4400. I drained roughly 1/3 of the water, refilled, and it tested at 2800. It's been 4 weeks since then...

My Pentair 4060 has the push-pull backwash handle under the bottom of the tank. I’m lately getting a slow leak from the backwash line when it’s in filter mode. I’ve tried cleaning the tank from the top and working the handle back and forth to loosen dirt but that doesn’t remedy it. I’ve seen...

Thanks all for your input. So, I've decided to configure the system so the SWG does not come on when in spa mode. Just now, my pool service came by for the weekly cleaning (he does installation too). I talked to him about it and he said rather than creative plumbing, there's an easier electronic...

Thanks Rostterman, I see that in my current interface as well. Mine is set for 90% pool (hot here in SoCal and burns up chlorine) and 0% in spa. I’m just unsure because When I install the CircuPool unit and it’s set to say 80%, that 80% will stay on while I’m in spa mode As well. Is that bad...

Thanks Chris. The Aquapure turns its production off while in spa mode via the RS485 connector- when switched to spa mode, the Aquapure lights are on and output shows zero. So it is still powered. My system uses the same pump to circulate pool and pump, spa mode just changes the valves governing...

What about Simply using the same relay that the Aquapure is currently on? I believe that is only powered when the system turns on and the pump starts up, as all the Aquapure indicator lights are off when the system is off. Secondly, when my system is in spa mode, it shuts off the Aquapure...

Thanks, I think I'm sold. Looking at a Circupool RJ60Plus unit. Installation looks simple but question on the wiring. I know it won't integrate with the Jandy automation but will I be wiring it up in the Jandy control center to the VSP pump relays? I don't see the wiring manual online and no...

Thanks Jim. In my research Circupool was not in the better known systems. Do you have good experience with that brand, is it what you’d consider the best option?

Thanks but I have a 40k gal pool which the plc1400 is appropriate for.
