I'm still using my sutro and compared to my Taylor kit the pH and Free Chlorine are usually dead on but the Alkalinity mostly reads way high and I just ignore it. I've messaged tech support in the past about this issue and they seem to fix it on their end and then eventually the alkalinity is...

Classic Blend Travertine....

No way... they booted you? I'm still a member there.... although I like the Sutro, before I get too crazy with adjustments I always test with my Taylor Kit... No I need to go back to see which user you were.... lol...

Huh... Never had to wait for 15 minutes when changing a cartridge. It takes less than 15 minutes for the entire process and that includes going in the house to get the freshly charged battery and new cartridge and throwing the old one in the trash.

Seems there's more scams on Facebook than legitimate ads and I don't have the patience for a kickstarter.... hard pass for me.

Thanks... I guess maybe I'll try the vacuum (haven't used it yet) that came with the pool and do some brushing this weekend. I'm wanting to buy a robot but I need to be able to justify it to the wife a little... lol... The Polaris 280 doesn't get on top of the swimouts or sunshelf so I'm...

I'm on the fence about getting the Alpha IQ+ but went to Leslies and the girl told me I would still have to brush the pool so I thought well... what's the point exactly? The polaris 280 I have seems to work good and I have no trees near the pool so no leaves or acorns to worry about.... so do...

My previous pool was DE and at the time loved it because of the sparkling water but now have DE and have the same sparking water and no backwashing... I'd do cartridge.

Yup... it is definitely insane... I'm a commercial electrical contractor so for example 4" SCH 40 PVC in January of 2020 cost us 140.37 per hundred feet and today it costs $829.00 per hundred feet. 1" SCH 40 was 25.39 per hundred and now it's 142.88 per hundred. Sad thing is that I don't see...

....and it still appears to function this way... how annoying. I also have the issue where the pool spa and sheer decent lights come on every time I turn on the pool lights even though I have three pool lights on one relay, spa light on another, center sheer decent on another and the left and...

I like it... It definitely doesn't replace manual water testing BUT for a new pool for me it's convenient. I can check the pool while away from home and turn on the stenner pump to lower the ph or adjust my chlorine with the iaqualink web interface. I still do manually check my pool but for...

Our codes here in Cherokee County, GA changed to 5FT too. We had a 4FT fence existing (built by the previous owners) and had to pay to tear it down and then pay for 410FT of new 5FT fence...
