Thank you all! Some great landscapes here. I'm envious of all the palms @MBPooldiy has. Those Canary Island Date palms are very nice. Certainly inspirational.

We've been swimming in the new pool since April and admiring the new landscape since June. Still have a ways to go but we like how its turning out. Hoping for a mild winter and for the mule palms to grow out of the transplant shock. Plan is to let the sweet vibernum along the fence get talllll...

Update: PB came out Friday and adjusted the ozonator. Turns out it was turned up pretty high. Aeration seems to be down after the adjustment and hopefully that helps keep the pH lower. Time will tell. Still adding about a quart of acid every other day to get it down to 7.6. The scale I felt...

Yeah, the FAS test is super easy but I'm only doing that weekly. The daily test is more difficult to differentiate for me.

Full leaded, 31%. Pool's just over 30 days old.

Still battling high pH and from what I've read so far, this seems common for new pool startups. I'm curious what a "normal" amount of acid consumption is for new plaster pools around 10k gal. I added another half gallon of acid on Saturday and got the best numbers I've seen yet, they're pasted...

Ok, thank you for the advice. FC was really high at 7 ppm the other day so I reduced the chorinator by 10% to see what it would do. Current output is 40%. I'll bump it back up and see if that gets us where we need to be. Should I add a pound of stabilizer as well? And if so, should I do that...

Most recent results are below. I just ran to the pool store and they checked with their Taylor kit. Results were pretty close, so that gave me some confidence in my readings. Pool store had CYA at 40 and salt at 4200. Everything else was the same. I plan to add more acid and stabilizer. Any...

We finished our build earlier this month and filled on 4/4. I took over the pool last week and started testing using a TF Pro salt kit yesterday. Results from tonight's test are below. The pool has been crystal clear since it was filled. pH was off the scale (bright fuchsia) both times I tested...

Tech came out a little awhile ago and flashed 3.05, 10 minute job. He was very confident this was a definitive fix for the issue. Said he's done hundreds of them at this point with no further issue.

We just converted our firepit to natural gas while our build was happening. Our gas installer said for firepits, most of his clients opt for manual ignition since the cost is so much more for auto igniters. So far, we're very happy with it. An extra 30 seconds to grab the key valve and lighter...

PB was aware of the issue and thought all pumps they had on hand had the new firmware. They're contacting Pentair to flash 3.05. Thanks all for the help.

Confirmed I'm running version 3.04. Will call PB today to see if they're aware of the issue and can get Pentair out.

Thanks Jim. To check this would I flip the control breaker to force comm loss again, check at the pump, then restart?

I'm currently experiencing the same communication loss problem. Happened about 10 days after pump was turned on, then again 11 days later (today). Can I check the firmware through the ET control or do I need to check on the pump itself? Flipping the breakers and waiting approx 15 seconds has...
