What’s your opinion on staying pent air or using another option like, CircuPool SWCG? Again, i’m pretty much plain Jane with no automation. I have PA app and one of two relays available for use.

I can connect to two pieces of pool equipment. So far just a pool lighting.

Thank you I will check on that. I do know that I have a 16 amp relay for the pool lights that show on the app.. I will get the model number off the pump and investigate. Sadly, my PB has been pretty much absent since the pool was finished. His excuse is 30% of the pools he’s put in this year as...

Thanks again for all of your help. I have one more week of cure time of my pebble sheen plaster finish. The pool looks great and crystal clear. My question are as follows: after spending some time on this forum, I am seriously considering adding a IC 40 chlorinator to go salt water. My big...

Ty. I do see that. I guess my PB was advising me of middle ranges and not full range. Either way I need to buy a few more chemicals from tractor supply or a box store warehouse. Being a new pool owner, I’m still looking for sources for my chemicals. I live about 20 miles from town and trying to...

Ty. It is almost 150 today. Need to buy more chems to slightly raise it to 150+. Pebble tech recommends 150 to 200 max during the30 day cure period and then the higher recommendation of 200 to 250 after 30 days.

150 and not 250-300

I was advised not to go that high during curing process.

Ty. TF-Pro Test kit arrived. Results of first test and 14 days after fill. Builder only added liquid chlorine and muriatic acid. CH 100 CYA below 30 FC 4 CC .5 TA 70 PH 7.8

4 lbs of calcium increaser. I read on this forum to be careful because if I heat the pool, my CH will go up fast with evaporation. of course, I will not try to heat the pool (pentair h/c heatpp) for at least a two weeks that’s recommended with pebble Sheen and will probably wait another two...

I’m using pebble tech guide. Same as you sent. On day 14 and have brushed daily. TF-pro arrived today. PB has been absent since startup. Grateful for this forum. Struggling with getting CH above 100 and I’m using pebble tech guide. Same link as you sent. On day 15 and have brushed walls and...

Thank you for all your input. Two weeks and counting and waiting for the 30 day cure period. My pool tftest kit arrived, and I will be testing here in a few minutes. I’m also looking into a chlorinator and would like some input on that. I realize I can’t add salt until the 30 day cure period is...

Thanks. I have much to learn. I had an above ground 5K gallon vinyl pool for two seasons. I made the mistake of allowing a local pool store help me chase balance all year. Glad I found this site. I plan to use a pool cover to help with evaporation, before it gets too hot. From other responses...
