Thanks for the response Jim. I do have a SWCG but it isn't a Pentair, I know I will have to replace it to get the automation. As to the light, really not sure what I have, when we bought the house, the vinyl goes over the light. If there is a switch for it, I have no idea where it is. I...

Hi all, I am working on getting my act together to do a pool renovation. One thing I would like would be to have some automation. What I would like to be able to do is control the pump (really just off and on), control light(s), control SWG, and possibly in the future, control a heat pump...

No, no Algaecides, no heater, nothing. The pool has been very simple to maintain and really doesn't require much to keep balanced, until now. It is pretty consistently that yellowish-green. My idea is that all the rain maybe pushed some ground water into the pool. It never flowed over the...

Is Jack's magic purple stuff what i need?

It is totally strange, I am on a well, but have not added water in months, we have already had 36" of rain this year, so have not added water since last summer. This is totally new to me, so I haven't used a sequestrant, what should I use? With all the rain, my ph has been on the low side so I...

Darn it, just got the pool all balanced and cleaned and it turned green on me. I don't think it is algae, did a overnight test and did not loose chlorine. Plus chlorine has not been below minimum chlorine levels. But yesterday I was cleaning some iron spots off the steps and swim out with...

Remember that after your cya gets to 30, you need to stop using dichlor and move to using chlorine. Also watch your cya, it gets burned off more quickly in a hot tub. In my case, I need to bump up cya monthly.

I had a similar issue, subscription expired yesterday and google play did the auto renewal, but pool math still shows an expired date. I sent an email with all the details.

I have the same situation, on Android and changed my keyboard to Google keyboard, I thought that was the problem. I have to close the keyboard and then scroll down and then key in those fields at the bottom.

You need to post a full set of test results using your new test kit. Then folks can advise you on next steps.

Up front I will say l know nothing about bromine so will leave that to someone else to answer. For decreasing ph you will use acid, just like in your pool. For your ta, what is the ta of your fill water? My tub is currently at 40 and with a TA of 60 for my fill water and my ph very stable, I...

They can all be added at the same time but make sure and follow the instructions in the link below. Pool School - Recommended Pool Chemicals
