Jim, Thanks again. Yes, I only run both on the same schedule. We do have the time of use, but I end it before the rates go up. So far the FC stays where it needs to be.. Thanks to this forum, I do all my testing and buy from TF Test Kits... Ill play with lower RPMs for all the settings...

Jim, Again, thanks for the review and Input.. I'll answer in order. I changed the valves A and B in an attempt to troubleshoot and figure out what was going on. Pentair again didn't offer any insight or direction/explanation. Thanks for the clarity—I changed them back to UNUSED. Spillover...

Jim R comes through again..... Thanks for the quick and accurate reply. I spent over 1.5 hours on the phone with Pentair Automation, and all they could come up with was that the pump was wired wrong. They never could figure out the circuit issue. I explained that the pool and spa worked. Yes...

First of all, I am a long-time lurker, and this is my first post. The pool has been trouble-free since its installation seven years ago. I used this forum for all planning, equipment, and water chemistry: to buy the test kits, follow other builds, troubleshoot, etc. So, thanks for all the...

Brian, Very nice build. Looking forward to following the entire process. Engineering looks great.

Nice design. I'm looking forward to following the progress.

Thanks Kim... I felt the same...Want to take my kit up there and test his water for him...But not going to do it... Oh then he proceeded to tell me why he didn't go SWG... SWG's can't keep up etc.... Just shaking my head... Numbers are almost spot on, Now deciding whether to test in the am or...

Funny story. I wont listen to pool stores or other pool owners after reading this site and getting all the great feedback... And what Ive learned so far, but Im just really a newbie. So I get the "What you need to do is" from a neighbor today... Who proceeds to tell me I need to buy this (pic...

Thanks Kim. This site is amazing with all the info available and people that assist. I hope to pass on what I've learned to others.

Thanks AmyJo. Quick Question for anyone regarding numbers to follow. During the break in period before I add salt (1 month) , should I be using the non swcg numbers? Here is where I am at now, adjusting and checking daily... Any glaring issues.. PH 7.8 FC= 2 CC= .5 TC= 2.5 TA=90 CH=250...

I think when it is done you will be happy you had them go bigger. Your yard can handle it. The hole will always look bigger than the finished pool.

Kim and Suz...Thanks again. We will be turning on equipment today and adding some chemicals... I will post initial water shortly.. On a couple of calls.

Thanks Kim and Suz... did both things as instructed.. :) More pics. Some colored shot from last night when it was full.
