@Texas Splash and @duraleigh - does new plaster absorb calcium as it cures, thus causing the 0 CH reading? It definitely eats up acid, which makes the Ph level make sense to me. As for what constitutes balanced water, the biggest one is to make sure the water is sanitary. Ph below 8, and...

Hello! Sizing your T-Cell is a function of how long you run your pump each day in concert with the cell's percentage use for it's capacity. If you ran your pump 24/7 at a speed at least fast enough to satisfy the flow switch and had the cell producing at 100%, you could maybe get away with...

Hello! Your Ph is going to be a bit of a battle for the next month with a new plaster pool since the plaster will eat up acid as it cures. See: Start-up New Plaster. Test your Ph daily, and add MA as needed. There's also direction in there about when to add CYA and Chlorine to your new...

If you're looking for a (basically) 1:1 replacement, I'd go with the E30, or the Triton PS. Those two robots look to be the exact same thing with different body kits and colors. Purchasing through Amazon allows for an extended protection plan (2 or 3 yr options) above the manufacturer. Hope this...

Anyone have any experience with swimmers using a barrier cream while swimming? I and my kiddos have dry/sensitive skin and I'm considering applying something like this in addition to sunscreen. Maybe (probably?) it's not enough to make much of a difference in the water, but I didn't want to...

The chlorinator clearly says T-Cell-15 on it, but my banner signature choices don't include that option. Is a T-15 the same as a T-Cell-15?

T-Cell-15. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll get it fixed. 😊

I too just received my TF-Pro earlier this week. That magnetic stirrer is magic! IMHO, 💯 percent worth it.

Well folks, SLAM complete as of this morning! OCLT was 0, CC was 0, and that water is *crystal* clear. Now it's time to figure out this SWG and get it dialed in...

Got a decent picture today! Second day of the SLAM process....

I'm up north - near(is) to 215 and 95 interchange. I'll double check that the stuff I bought is fresh. If it isn't, I'll take it back.

Just drained and re-filled the pool in May. It hadn't been drained in about 7 years (or so says the pool guy). It was built in 2004, but yeah - pool is new to me (just moved in at the beginning of June).
