The robot definitely spoiled me. I will periodically brush the tan shelves during dustier/windier periods but otherwise it might be weeks in between brushing :rolleyes:

Will do. I think I've been targeting 7.2 each time I adjust higher pH, so I will target 7.8 for now and see how this fairs. Still have to see what's up with the dropping salt readings, but we can deal with that once I get a more accurate testing method tomorrow. Since it's a string of long...

Hm.. curious indeed. Even adjusting for water temp of 92, it’s still at approximately-0.46 so I definitely have a low margin of error. I did a water exchange last year to drop CYA. If i recall correctly, CH was around 375-400 prior to that My TA has been consistently at 50ish for the last 8-9...

I believe winter the pH stayed pretty consistent around 7.8 with no major intervention required. There is quite a bit of scale at the waterline though on the tile layer. Pool is at least 10-13 years old and was pool route maintained before so the history of the water chemistry beyond the 1 year...

Thank you @mknauss ! It was a long shot :) i tried some muriatic acid over dried up residue and it did fizz. So this means this is calcium dissolving ? I am hoping that with a good CSI this is not the plaster but just the lime scale. i have ordered a K1766 for an accurate measurement of salt...

Hi folks, Not quite sure what to make of this and it's somewhat of a wild guess but here goes. I converted to a SWCG last summer and have head pretty steady salt readouts through the seasons and beyond. I got my Pentair Warrior SE (S200 clone) end of December and around February when water...

Thanks folks for the sage advice! Will go the dedicated chemical method.

Hi all, A year ago when I first switched to the TFP method, I took over a pool with a CYA ~ 140, constantly dropping FC levels and a weekly pool service bill. Today, I am a happy owner of a never-cloudy pool that I enjoy maintaining. I decided to re-test my CYA since after my last attempted...

Thanks @mknauss ! Email sent and will report back my experience with this.

Hi folks, I have two diverter valves for solar isolation installed way back when with an unknown origin/manufacturer. One of them is definitely not sealing as it should but given the age I would like to refresh both of them. I am trying to understand if generic Jandy or CMP parts will fit (one...
