    High pH and Total Akalinity

    I'm an idiot again. Just ran the TA test again and got 110. Apparently I was confused and mixed up the TA with results from another test. Really sorry to waste everyone's time.

    High pH and Total Akalinity

    I apologize. Looks like I totally messed up and my TA should be 600, not 1600. I'm using the Taylor K-2006C test kit. I'll enter the correct TA number and see what I get. Do I have to limit how much Muratic Acid I add at one time?

    High pH and Total Akalinity

    Just tested and put my pH at 8.4 as it was definitely over the 7.8 high mark on the test tube. Akalinity came in at 1600. Pool Math is saying that I need to add 4 gallons of Muratic Acid. Does that seem right? Also, when I used Leslie's for a few months when we first got a place with a pool...

    Pentair iChlor 30 - no power

    Just to close this out. The SWG was bad and Pentair replaced it under warranty. The 3-year warranty was set to expire in July, so I was lucky to get in under the gun. Thanks to everyone for your responses!

    Water Feature Crack Repair

    I think that you are right. The white cracks are calcium buildup, not repairs. I am leaning towards trying to do the crack repairs with sanded grout. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Custom-Building-Products-Polyblend-Plus-122-Linen-1-lb-Sanded-Grout-PBPG1221/321398560

    Water Feature Crack Repair

    What would be the best way to repair cracks in our water feature? Looks like the previous owners did some crack repairs with a white caulk of some kind. We'd like the repairs to look nice, but of course the most important thing would be to prevent the cracks from getting worse and having...

    Pentair iChlor 30 - no power

    The cell is over 2 years old, so I don't think that it is under warranty. The install date was in July 2020. I contacted Pentair by leaving a message on their website in August 2020 because I had thought that there might be something wrong with the unit. Sometimes it didn't produce chlorine...

    Pentair iChlor 30 - no power

    I was wrong earlier. The green light on the PCB is on. My PCB looks a little different than the one shown on the ICXX page. Sounds like the fuse is probably fine, since the green light is on? Any ideas as to what I should try next? Where should I check the voltage with my multimeter...

    Pentair iChlor 30 - no power

    Thank you for your response! I do have a multimeter. I'm not very good with it, but I should be able to check voltages. There is no green light on the PCB that I can see, but there is a fuse on it. I'll check to see if it's blown. Great link! I am going to study it and see if I can figure...

    Pentair iChlor 30 - no power

    I have a Pentair iChlor 30 SWG that isn't getting any power. The display is completely blank. It's been off for about 2 months or so now. I thought that it was off because the weather got colder here in AZ, but I just looked in the manual and it says that the water temp has to be over 52...
