Thanks for the clarification. Then my CC is .5 - - - Updated - - - Still evaluating. I'll probably get a SWG eventually. 1st season was pucks. This season is liquid chlorine. I'll make my decision for the 3rd season. What I hope never to see again is Algae. BTW, I'm getting the chlorine for...

Tested FC again this evening and loss was 3 ppm for a full 24 hrs. FC 18 CC 1 (Yesterday's reading was 3 ppm plus the 1 ppm from the OCLT = 4 ppm) Pool temp is now 78. Full sun but very filtered through the fine mesh super screen. Yes my CC readings were .5 before the high...

Did the OCLT this a.m. FC dropped 1 ppm and CC was 1 ppm. FC 24 CC 1 Tested FC this evening and loss was 3 ppm for the day. FC 21 CC 1

I'll be doing a lot of testing and try to arrive at the proper amount of Chlorine to add every few days or more. Also I have to compare this to how much the 2.5 gal jugs deteriorate sitting outside or in the garage. I have 2 of these. Used one and transferred the other to 1 gallon jugs and have...

Thanks everyone for all the replies. At first it seemed like a good idea. Needsajet: What I didn't consider is the loss of FC at a more rapid pace at the higher levels. If I'm losing 2 ppm per day at lower FC chlorine levels will this increase to 3 ppm or 4 or more a day at higher levels?

Hi. Had my 1st appearance of green algae. I thought it was from pollen as robot vacuumed it easily. Here were my readings on 4/25 when I began noticing it: FC 4 TC 4.5 TA 60 CH 225 CYA 50 PH 7.5 I had been using pucks but have now stopped. Slammed FC up to 24 and it has only dropped FC 1 and...

Re: Doheny's Discovery, S200, Active20, Triton owners club I've been using the pleated filter. Still don't know if the pleated is the fine filter. I have a screened pool cage and there are no leaves so I can't tell the difference. Wondering which filter everyone has been using.

Intermatic support was no help to the Electrician. All they did was say to use their add on $200 P4043ME expansion Module which not only didn't work but would not fit in the connection box. The Electrician agreed with me that he would get a 24 volt transformer and connect the Actuator to it via...

2 way or 3 way valves should work with the Pentair Actuator the PB supplied, just a matter of adjusting the stops. Not happy with the Pentair Actuators because the valve can't be moved without removing the actuator. Other brands can turn the valve by hand. But this is a minor inconvenience...

Yes that is the actuator I have. It is for 3-way valves and has 3 wires. It fit and is now mounted on a 2-way Jandy Valve. I believe there are versions for 2-way valves, but it still should work if the cam limits are adjusted. My main problem is the wiring.

My PB has one last thing to do and my pool will be finished. I finally got him to connect the deck jets to the feature pump where I wanted them. He installed a 2 way Jandy Valve in the plumbing going to the sheer waterfalls and it worked ok. Then he installed a Pentair CVA24 Actuator but...

Re: Doheny's Discovery, S200, Active20, Triton owners club I've been using the pleated filter but the basic screen looks like it does an even better job. Might be the DE powder that it picked up. Which filter is best to use? The more expensive Dolphin S300 models have a different basket that...

Since Walmart raised price of their 1 gal. 10% Chlorine to $3.67 I am considering buying somewhere else. I can get 2.5 gal. refillable/exchange Chlorine much cheaper but have concerns. Pool Stores have 12% 2.5 gal. for around $5.00 but are about 10 miles from my home. Ace Hardware has 10% 2.5...

Thanks for posting all the wonderful pictures. Glad you and your family are enjoying your pool and addressing the remaining problems. I know what you're going through as I have my own Punch List and PB back to his old slow routine again after his vacation. When considering your Robot don't...

I recently purchased the Doheny Discovery. It is actually the Dolphin S200. Very pleased with it. I don't need the all the extra features and price of the s300.
