    Sudden drop in Calcium level - how/why??

    Me either…we’ve had the nature2 since the build in 2017 and I think we replaced the cartridge once in 2019 (or earlier?) and haven’t touched it since, so not sure if it is doing anything at this point. I’ll be adding calhypo this weekend to raise the calcium up to within range.

    Sudden drop in Calcium level - how/why??

    Completely puzzled. We drained our pool about a month ago in prep for swim season and our calcium level was way too high (825). We live in central Texas with fill water with 225ppm calcium. Drained *almost* to empty (maybe a foot of water left in the bottom of the deep end). Refilled, next...

    IAquaLink 2.0 connection problem...connects to network but not web

    Thank you. The problem I am having isn’t with getting connected to my WiFi network, per se, because the IAquaLink is showing up on my eero app perfectly with full bars. It’s getting it to connect then to the internet itself. Perhaps I’m interpreting my problem incorrectly. I’ve read the same...

    IAquaLink 2.0 connection problem...connects to network but not web

    Hi forum, so I recently switched my wireless router to an Eero 5 Pro mesh system. I hadn’t noticed issues recently before the switch, but after switching I cannot get my IAquaLink 2.0 to connect to the web. I have no issues with it connecting to the mesh WiFi...it shows up on my network with...

    New Austin Build - We have a Pool!

    I’m in Pflugerville with a 20K gunite that goes to 7’ in the deep end. Have had the pool since 2017...we are east of 35 so we are in clay as opposed to the limestone bedrock of west Austin. Anyhow...I thought we might need chillers but after 2+ summers of 100+ heat and direct sun most of the...

    Starting SLAM today post ~50% drain. Start process after refill?

    My pH is finally calming down without me messing with my overflow automation. My husband took a required weekly water sample to Leslie’s and interestingly they had *just* installed a new, improved water testing machine, and their results were very similar to my home test, with the exception of...

    Starting SLAM today post ~50% drain. Start process after refill?

    The main things I control via iAquaLink are spa mode on/off, “Aqua Accents” on/off which controls only my big waterfall and 2 scuppers which we only occasionally use (have not lately), filter pump on/off, heater on/off. I don’t have a separate “pool mode.” We have freeze guard which turns the...

    We have “spa mode” which obviously turns off the overflow to contain the heated water to the spa when we use it. Im not wholly certain what else happens when I enable spa mode (In iAquaLink I turn on heat separately so that isn’t automatic to spa mode). The filter pump indicator remains on.

    Starting SLAM today post ~50% drain. Start process after refill?

    Can you help me understand my pH climb? Yesterday AM I was around 8. Had the husband add muriatic acid and it brought it down to 7.5. I added 12.5% LC (which I’m understanding with all my reading has basically no effect on pH) to bring my FC level back up per our discussion yesterday...

    Starting SLAM today post ~50% drain. Start process after refill?

    Wasn’t sure if I should start a new thread or continue here... Everything is going great. Last night FC was down to 1.5 (ph 7.8) so I did an LC addition (to target of 4). This morning pH was 8 and FC was 2.5. Added MA to bring pH back down (target 7.2), and I’m currently sitting at pH of 7.5...

    Starting SLAM today post ~50% drain. Start process after refill?

    I do NOT have an auto fill. We have a manual filler that we employ once the water hits bottom of the waterline tile. So all in all my main number of concern at this point is FC and making sure my pH isn’t sky high for safe swimming? So I’ll be testing FC/CC daily for now to maintain suggested...

    Fill water: pH 7.5 TA 160 CH 200 So pool math is telling me to add MA (so with my 20 baume that’s 1qt, 3 cups 5oz) to lower pH to 7.0-7.2 to bring down my alkalinity, then aerate to bring the pH back up.
