It's all good, I'm sure the low post count fooled ya.

Ping, did the math and see the results. Now this math is slowly changing over time from a good CSI as the temp drops and chemicals are diluted over the fall and winter. Since I seem to have overwinter scale growth problems, shouldn't I be more concerned about PH rather than CSI in the off...

Not to sound like a booty, but during pool season here in NY (may-sept with heater of course) I am quite anal about maintaining a CSI of 0 to -.33 by use of an intellichem which sends an alarm to the screenlogic interface if it falls below -.33 or above +.33. I also use reagent measurement...

It's a plaster in ground pool. Did not know about natural cold water ph relationship. I added Signature info. Not to hijack my own thread but I have always had a problem with the pool surface "growing" what feels like a film of sandpaper over the winter which I belive is scale deposits from the...

Well its sort of spring here in the northeast and I am circulating the water for a few days since I reassembled the pad equipment. I just measured my water with my Taylor K-2006 to begin my chemistry adjustments and the PH was off the charts. Had to add 5 drops of acid demand before it settled...

Did you get this info from pentair? I have an IC 40 that I feel cant keep up with my pool and I actually measured the current draw from the power supply to see how long it runs. I only measured with it set at 100%. no other settings tested. The cell pulls 5 amps for 4 1/2 minutes were you can...

Hi Tex and thanks for the welcome. this site is invaluable and i have learned so much browsing the forums. i wish i found this site before i switched from trichlor to swg. Being new to pools, i did what the previous homeowner did. I was using test strips and didn't yet comprehend the ph rise...

Can too much algeacide affect the probe reading? I screwed up this year, I ran out of shock and I was late in adding CYA to my prfectly balanced pool thinking i will run the SWG 12 hrs/day to compensate. well that didnt work as the Fc was always around .8 to 1 ppm and the walls started to green...
