My sand filter developed a leak and was recently replaced. This new one jerks and shudders a great deal. Much more vibration than I remember with the old one. I thought that the water flow through the filter and pipe should be pretty smooth. Am I seeing something normal? Does anyone have...

Test from last night. FC-5 CC-0 PH-7.7 (just a bit on the pink side of 7.6) TA-70 CH-250 CYA-70 Salt-3590 Pentair says that the intellichlor IC-40 will cause PH to stabilize around 7.8 and I guess they are right. Seems like everyone here recommends adding muriatic acid when PH gets to 7.8...

One of my agents in our real estate office has listed a home with an in-ground concrete pool. This pool must have been built with the decking as a continuous part of the pool. Looks like several years ago, the deep end of the pool floated out of the ground with the surrounding deck still...

I've been running my pump 24/7 for a while now. I have my swg set at 10% to keep my free chlorine level pretty constant. I've decided that I'd like to try to cut back on the pump time. Since the display shows output as the percentage of time that chlorine is being produced per hour of pump...

The intellichlor IC-40 v1.9 that replaced my almost 3 year old v1.6 has a setting that I've never seen before. I can now set the percentage of chlorine production in both pool and spa mode whereas before, it was only one setting for everything. My pool and spa share the same water so I can't...

First of all, thanks again to everyone for all of the help you have given me over the last few weeks. I now have a sparkling clear and beautiful pool. Turns out my Intellichlor cell has stopped working and can't be re-calibrated. Since I'm still in warranty, Pentair is shipping a new one soon...

If anyone remembers, I fired the pool guy and now I have to take over. The water was clear and sparkling. Got the Taylor test kit and everything but salt looked low. I've been lowering, refilling and testing then today... Decided to brush and vacuum before tackling all of the other things to...

Thanks for the answers about why I need more CH in my pool water. Now I understand. I've been reading even more here and have even more questions. For reference, here are my Taylor K-2006 test results. FC - 3 CC-0 PH 7.2 TA 40 CH 70 CYA 0 Salt 5590 tested this one twice. Pool temp is 52F...

I began to suspect that I was not getting the work that I should expect from my former pool maintenance man so I let him go. Bought the Taylor K-2006 test kit and some Aquachek test strips. Turns out that I was kind of right. FC - 3 CC-0 PH 7.2 TA 40 CH 70 CYA 0 Salt 5590 tested this one...
