Clean the filter twice a year- May and November- was one of the early thoughts on the bubbles causing me to take the filter assembly apart a couple of times before I ruled it out. I plan on cleaning the SWCG next month along with the filter. I'm interested to see if I find anything there...

Thanks all! The pump lid has a bubble about the size of 3 quarters that doesn't move much while the pump is running. It doesn't seem to change from day to day. My pump is running at about 1800 rpm. I swear I had it at a lower speed last year (1500 rpm, maybe 1300) but I was getting a no...

I have small bubbles coming out of 1 and sometimes 2 of my pool returns. I don’t remember the bubbles being there from the beginning 2 years ago. I noticed it this year about the same time the pool builder came out and put in a new valve which was about the same time warranty work was done on...

Mayberry, I’ve had the same model for 2 years now and Pentair replaced the IC60 the first time (6 months over winter so barely used) and a circuit board the second time. It happens unfortunately.

Thanks all! I had to SLAM for about a week with brushing every day and the robot about every other and pool is back to its old self.

Thanks again!

Ahh, a new one for me. Never realized that algae could have debris, but it makes sense. I'm going with the experts! You two are always great with your advice and help! You both make owning a pool less menacing. It's in the reply above, but how will I know when to stop? When there is no...

Granted, but shouldn't there still be some type of CC reading with algae and proper levels of FC? Again, first experience with this so I'm just trying to understand why there isn't a reading with the CC. On the flip side, back to my second question, how will I know when to stop if the three...

Oops, sorry. Rewrote most of my post and that part was left out. Floor and sides, both pool and spa. When I brush a surface, a green cloud kicks up. Water doesn't really look green. Picture doesn't show it too much and it isn't a full green but it is starting. The corner shows more of what...

Built the pool two years ago and have been very good with testing and balancing. We have fortunately never had any algae problems- until now. Is it possible to have algae growth (rhetorical, as I don't know what else the green could be) when my OCLT showed no loss, my CC is zero and the water...

Ok. Thanks.

Pool is open all year down here in Houston. Definitely going with Boric Acid (already purchased, just didn't know whether to wait until spring). My pH still tends to drift above 7.8 within a few days even with alkalinity at 70. Just wanting to buffer the pH a little more.

Is there a preferred time of year to add borates? Because I am wanting to help stabilize pH a little more with borates, I would think not, but I remember reading a post from someone that mentioned adding borates in the spring and the borate level lasted through fall.
