    Calculation of acid addition is wrong

    Thanks. Once I input the TA number, it works fine. By the way, what’s the limitation of free version?

    Calculation of acid addition is wrong

    It looks like the amount it gives is too low. See the attached file.

    Pop Up Floor Cleaner System in Small Pool

    It is a useless feature. First, it increases chance for leaks, harder to open and close pool. If they are broken, very hard to fix. You can use the money to buy a pretty decent robotic cleaner, which is much easier to maintain, much better for cleaning. I have these in floor cleaner, but...

    Automated Liquid Chlorination system

    Why not convert to salt water pool? Much more reliably and convenient for automation.

    No liquid chlorine best alternative

    How much better are robots vs suction cleaners?

    I agree 100% about the comments on the in floor cleaner. It never worked and is useless. It increases the chance of leaking.

    Waterfall pump vs VS? or other unfiltered feature solution

    Where did you buy Pentair IntelliConnect? How much? Do you need any hub to connect to it?

    in-floor cleaners versus other types

    First, it increases chance for leaks, harder to open and close pool. If they are broken, very hard to fix. You can use the money to buy a pretty decent robotic cleaner, which is much easier to maintain, much better for cleaning. I have these in floor cleaner, but almost useless, because I have...

    in-floor cleaners versus other types

    Infloor cleaners are the stupidest design ever. Avoid them if you can.

    Adding Salt?

    I compared with the results from Taylor salt test kit, if I subtract the calcium value from TDS value, I get the salt value. The results are pretty consistent.

    Intellichlor keeps blowing fuse?

    I had same problem as yours three years ago. I replaced the old IC40 cell and the problem was solved. My previous cell is very old, so I just replaced it. Yours is 4 years old, so you may acid wash it first before replacing it.

    IC40 Doesn't seem to be producing

    You may acid wash the IC40, since your PH is so high. Normally it should be between 7.2-7.8.

    I made a pool logger

    Great! I am curious how hard it would be to add alternative ways to login with a social network account such as google, facebook, etc. (Social login - Wikipedia) I myself don't like to link an account to my social network account. But I know a lot of people like it for simplicity's sake.

    I made a pool logger

    One of the reason people prefer separate login is that the systems like Disqus allow multiple ways to sign-in, such as facebook, twitter, google plus. You also can post replies from emails. You don't need to remember yet another account. Many major publications use it.
