    How to clean algae out of Multi Cyclone 50

    Waterco MultiCyclone 16

    Just wanted to post an update since we finally got a couple dust storms in our area... As shown in post #4 above, during "normal" weather (with a pool cover on at night and no dust, wind or thunder storms), our MultiCyclone traps quite a bit of dirt that would otherwise be in our cartridge...

    Pool store vs Taylor 2006c

    I did this and it really helped. The CYA test had me frustrated for months but now I'm very confident with my results. As others have mentioned, fill to 100, glance. If you see the dot, fill to 90, glance. If you see the dot, fill to 80. Rinse and repeat. I don't STARE trying to find the dot...

    New construction quote - Frisco, TX

    CYA test - Home/Store tests

    This is the CYA 50ppm "Standard" we are referring to... CYA Standard You use it in place of your pool water when testing CYA. It lets you know what a "true" 50ppm of CYA looks like when you test it.

    As others have said....Swap the inline chlorinator for a salt water chlorine generator and absolutely get IntelliCenter. EasyTouch is Pentair's older technology.
