    Jandy Sheer Descent Crack/Leak in Top

    Twenty two months after construction completion, one of my 36" sheers developed a leak due to a small crack in the top where an epoxy or other sealant was applied during the manufacturing stage. It's only 1/2" in length. Can anyone advise regarding the best repair method for hopefully a...

    Salt Test vs IC60 Results - Major Delta

    I use the TF-Pro to test my water. When I administer the salt test (R-0630/R-0718 + speed stir), the test results are always higher or much higher than what the salt cell or Pentair Home App indicates. I know that the range is ~500 ppm variance but I've had test results 700 to 950 ppm higher...

    Pentair Home App Issues

    Jim, I'm certainly no expert on the matter but I'm of the opinion that the issue is with the Penatir Home App and not the Intellicenter. Due to the lack of responses, I wonder if my problem is of the "one-off" variety.

    Pentair Home App Issues

    Since "upgrading" from the Pentair Pool App to the Pentair Home App, I continually receive a priming alert when I increase the flow on my Intelliflo XF pumps. I have three of them (filter/infinity edge and water features) and it happens on all three. However, there is no priming issue and no air...

    Difficulty priming infinity edge pump after filter and pump strainer cleaning

    Finally succeeded but the pump seemed to have run forever. I was surprised that the pump would run that long w/o the auto shut-off kicking in.

    Difficulty priming infinity edge pump after filter and pump strainer cleaning

    I am having difficulty priming my infinity edge pump after filter cleaning. After cleaning the filter media and reassembling the filter, I opened the pump lid and cleaned the strainer basket. Afterward I filled pot only to have the water backflow into the basin (which was full). I did this...

    CYA levels with a SWG vs liquid chlorine in winter

    Thanks for the info - good to know. We happen to have nummerous gallons of Cloralen Concentrated bleach (SDS attached), which is 7-8% and costs $5.49 and doesn't seem to contain any scents, is not splashless (not sure about the chloromax technology). Lowe's has liquid bleach on sale for $6.98...

    CYA levels with a SWG vs liquid chlorine in winter

    @HermanTX - new pool owner in Willis, here. Can you please advise what the benefits are of using LC versus bleach, which is much less expensive?

    Electrician is here now and is investigating. Have you ever seen this before? Do you think my hypothesis may be right?

    New Construction Started - Willis, TX (north of Houston)

    Houston, we have (another) problem. I noticed that on the separately piped lighted bubblers that the West bubbler had a fraction of the pressure compared the East side when both valves were fully opened. I realized that there was a longer run to the West side (~15’) and a couple more elbows but...
