Jets are turned down but have spillway from the spa to keep water balance 2 hours a day The PH goes above the max on the test kit in just few days

Hi all, I am going in vacation for 20 days and I have some questions regarding the pool. I have SWG and it works awesome. I also have rising PH as you can tell. I have no one that I can trust to mesure the PH and adding acid every other day :( I don't want to het the PH crazy high and damage...

The pool has direct sun from sunrise to about 5 pm and it is in vegas - sun is shining every day ;)

Hi all, I received my new reagents for the tf-100 kit and tested everything. The FC came up to 12 with CYA at 70 the normal levels according to the pool math are 5-7 so I decided to turn off the cell until in the target range then to adjust the cell duty. For the pas two days I lost les than...

I have TF-100 kit. Just ordered replacement reagent since I am not sure mine are still good. The results with iron and copper are made at pool supply store and confirmed with my kit. I also ordered from tftest salt water test so I can monitor the salt level since the cell gives me wide range...

Hi all, I have strange problem with my easytouch regarding solar heating operation. I set the target temp as 86F/30C, pool temp is 86F/30C, Air temp is 92F/33C, Solar temp is 107F/38C, start temp is 6F/4C, run temp is 3F/2C. Once the target temp is reached the solar valve and pump speed...

so after today's test of the water I got this results: SALT - 3700 /the cell shows 3900/ FAC - 5 /the cell is at 40%/ TAC - 5 CH - 300 CYA - 65 TA - 110 PH - 7.6 COPPER - 0 IRON - 0 TDS - 1500 PHO - 200 It look like I am within the specs according to this link: Pool School - Water Balance for...

Hi Jim, Thank you for your help. I tested it with different speeds for the pump and spillway on aux 6 and 7 and it works. I might be working last Friday but I expected to see the LED illuminated which obviously not going to happen but it dost what I want it to do :) Thanks

I brushed the salt and the pump was running for 6 hours and at the moment there is no trace of undissolved salt in the pool. I am going to be out of the town for the weekend but when back will test again

Hi Jim, I played with my easytouch 4 this afternoon and even called pentair cust support but my battery went dead after 40 mins on hold :( I can asign functions to aux-4-7 and schedule them but no luck with calling them with button press. Can you please explain ho did you make it to work...

I expected answer like this but couldn't resist ;) is it normal the salt reading to lower or to rise after first 24 hours?

OK, I got replaced about half of the water with fresh one and CYA came down to 70 :) this is the whole test: FAC - 3 TAC - 3 CH - 300 CYA - 70 TA - 120 PH - 7.6 COPPER - 0 IRON - 0 TDS - 1200 PHO - 200 This is before adding salt. According to the Water Balance for a SWCG pool link my TA is...

I also w0nder if I can still AUX4-7 wit easytouch 4 for futures that don't require relays. Any ideas?

Thanks for the link. My CYA was well above 100 /may be arround 140/ which i double the recommended in the link.

I appretiate very much your input. Just sharing what is in the manual ;) I've read alot but sometimes there is conflicting info over the net. I am happy that I found this forum. At the moment I am draining half of the water in order to refill with fresh water. With my reagents in my test kit...

I did not put the salt in yet. Tomorrow I will drain some of the water may be half of it/ and refill it with fresh water hoping for the best. btw the manual of the IC40 says that CYA level should be between 30 and 50 so may be half of the water won't do the trick :(

I will get the salt test strips first thing in the morning /still no added salt in to the pool/ As newb in this game please advise how to proceed in order to finish the conversion /the intellitouch and the IC40 are installed/. The guy at lesley's did not perform good tests /just PH/Chlorine...

I do have TV-100 test kit but I think that the reagents are old and bad /they were stored in cabinet outside so in the summer it gets really hot here/. If they are good my CYA test shows way over 100 / no scale on the tube over 100/. As per salt test trips - are they needed since the...

Hi Patrick_B, Thank you for your fast response! The complete test results for my pool are: FAC - 4 TAC - 4 CYA - 99 TA - 90 PH - 7.4 TDS - 500 PHO - 50 This guy first attempted to convince me that it is so stupid to convert from chlorine to salt but when I told him that I am going to do it...

Hi all, I am about to convert my pool to saltwater. I am about to install intellichlor IC40 cell with intellitouch. Went to my local lesley's stire to test water and the guy there told me that I can not add any salt untill all the chlorine in the water is gone. Currently my chlorine level is...

I guess so it is true and for the temp sensors?

Hi, I am new to the pool world. Purchased house with inground pool and solar panels. I am thinking of purchasing easy touch system but wonder if it can operate the solar panels or I should keep the control box I got at the moment? Thanks

The inlet pipe was not aligned good with the pump. After realigning it looks like the problem is solved Thanks

Hi all, I am new member and new to the pools in general. We got house with inground pool and spa about 12 000 gallons. We have Pentair VS pump and sollar panels installed. It works good beside lots of air collecting in the filter during pump operation. For about 2 hours the air collected is...
