I had already bought the dry acid and plan on going back to MA. As it turns out, I needed twice as much acid as the pool calculator predicted. I am now at ph 7.5 ta 70. Life is good. If I were to do it again, I think I would have used a PH balanced borate product it Boric acid instead of borax...

Thanks for your reply. Yeah I neglected to put my borate level in the calculator. Im gonna need allot more than 24 oz of dry acid. More like 13lbs:oops:. I will add the 8 lbs I have and re-calculate for MA and post back.

Good Afternoon, I decided to add Borax to my pool after reading the benefits of borites. I used pool calculator which suggested 40 lbs of borax for my 12000 gal pool followed up with 2 gal of MA. I added the 2 gal + another gallon and the PH is at 8.6 according to my PH meter and super pink when...

For sure, IM going to start with the PLC just controlling the pool pump and then add functionality. I have not found weight cells that will meet my needs.

IM thinking of cannibalizing the relay from my timer and controlling it from a Click PLC. I may even put some load cells under the chlorine tank so I can stenner pump exact measurements. Probably over kill but a fun project. Anyone done anything like that?

Gunite installed 12/10

Great! thanks for your responses. I went ahead and ordered the Pentair Warrior SE. The quatro would have added an additional $1,500.00 to the pool. I was also worried about the cost of running the pump plus booster. I live in California and get my power from PG&E at a ridiculous rate.

Great! thanks for the reply. I just did a search and it looks like this was actually covered in another thread. Not a good start for me I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hello, Great Forum! I am new to the Forum and my name is Dave. I am midway through installation of a 300sf inground pool. The company constructing has suggested the Polaris Quattro Sport for cleaning. They quoted $1,500.00 and I don't mind paying it but wanted to compare it to robots at the same...
