Thanks a bunch.

Ill use whatever works best, not sold on one particular model I was just using the Pentair and Hayward as examples I've come across so far in my research. I'm pretty handy and came across the "DIY acid feeder" thread that has me intrigued as well. When you say "standard Stennar pump" could you...

So all I need to do is send power to turn the pump on and off, correct? There's no proprietary circuits or anything that requires Pentair, Hayward, etc... equipment to control the Pentair IntellipH or the Hayward acid feeder?

So I've had the pool for a year now and I'm sick of adding acid manually, I've researched on TFP and came to the conclusion I don't need one that senses pH, just a feeder that I dial in myself. Now my question is which one to get? I've looked around but all the ones I've found are part of a...

Oh no, definately not. They were pretty serious about me not messing with them or moving them as well. The guy gave me his cell # in case there were any leaks or anything so I wouldn't touch them. They did make me by-pass all my filters and softener as well.

I was totally joking, no worries at all.

"One should stop thinking of FC as meaning anything in terms of chlorine strength when there is CYA in the water. FC is simply a measurement of the total reservoir of chlorine available and NOT a measure of its active strength." This answers all of my questions pertaining to chlorine in a...

Thank goodness, just when I though I was getting a handle on this thing someone's gotta throw in instant, or average salinity readings. One more question, on this thread anyway, I know the TFP chemistry numbers are different from manufacturers published numbers in some cases but in the Zodiac...

Not sure on the model# but it's a Taylor system I bought in addition to my K2006. It's a chromate indicator and then silver nitrate reagent. The pool guy used some high-falootin digital tester and we both got the same reading so I'm pretty comfortable with it.

When my pool was finished back in January the builders brought in seven filters (I'm a total newbie and have no idea what kind of filters they were, they looked like the old fiberglass water softener tanks) that the well water passed through before entering the pool. May be less expensive than...

Thanks a lot fellas, I really appreciate it. I just need to get used to "probably, close enough, it should be fine, etc"...;) Love the site and will continue to visit as well as contribute.

I would like to say thanks in advance for the help, I stumbled on this site this morning and learned more in an hour than I have with countless calls, emails, and face-to-face with my builder's "warranty department". Since my pool was put into service the salinity reading vs. actual salinity...
