I love you moisture-dwellers … the very thought of discharging 200+ gallons of water per day sends shivers up this desert rat’s spine
At nearly $12/kGal water rates, I’d have stroke looking at that monthly water bill

Pentair ScreenLogic Reading Incorrect Water Temperatures
Hello, I have a salt system and am using the Pentair ScreenLogic interface. The pool and spa water temperatures showing in the app are significantly different than the actual water temperature. Example: Pentair Screenlogic reads that the water temp is 99degrees, but the in pool thermometer...

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words…
The 2 carbon filters are “parallel” to each other.
The filtration system taken as a whole is in series, consisting of carbon -> water softener -> sediment filter.
That’s how I would do it. Also, notice the bypass loop around the sediment filter, which allows it to be taken offline completely.

Pre-filters aren't really needed, except in some extreme conditions.
I'd go vertical on the cell installation. Flow switch on the up side, cell on the downside.

Possible Uneven Pool Deck
- By Genie759

Hi! We had an inground pool installed about 8 months ago and something has looked “off” from the beginning and we are beginning to realize that the entire deck may be at a slant. The “V” slope to the deck drain has bothered me from the start as the slope seems excessive, but as we’ve continued to look at it, it seems like the entire right side of the deck is higher than the left side. The yard does slope down from the house, so we thought it could just be an optical illusion from the fence, but if you look closely at where the deck sits to either side of the hot tub, it really does look like the right side is higher.
Are we just overthinking or does this look wrong? Would a pool inspection uncover something like this? Is there even anything we could do to fix it? I’ve also uploaded a pic of the slope away from the house and pool - does it look excessive?
Thanks so much!
