    Do not rely on the flow control SWG feature

    Re: Intelliflo pump and intellichlor SWG - How to turn SWG on & off without common ti They will communicate with intellitouch or most Pentair automation systems. They will not communicate with eachother, they need a third party to receive the pinging outgoing info from the devices and send its...

    I have thought about adding a filter, but I feel it would restrict the pressure required for the in-floor cleaners. Right now I am guessing at 90 to 100 GPM... A little mental math... I could probably use another filter. Does that sound right?

    Do not rely on the flow control SWG feature

    Re: Intelliflo pump and intellichlor SWG - How to turn SWG on & off without common ti Yes sir. Especially if it is by Pentair. I believe all of their pumps, SWG, automators (is that a word?), ect. communicate with rs232. So yes, when the pump goes off, so will the SWG. Whether it kills the...

    Do not rely on the flow control SWG feature

    Re: Intelliflo pump and intellichlor SWG - How to turn SWG on & off without common ti Yes it was. What happened was the pump shut off and the swg power stayed on. I walked up and the red led for not having enough water movement was on and the unit was dripping water. In the previous post I...

    This is what it looked like a long time ago. Probably will not help much. Here is a very rough diagram. The two systems are not tied together. Does this help make sense?

    Do not rely on the flow control SWG feature

    Split off of this topic. This material is off topic for it's original location. JasonLion Do not rely on the flow control SWG feature. My PLC code and I were not communicating well (forgot safety loop to ensure SWG was not left on alone) and the IC40 produced enough heat and pressure to push...

    Yet another algae fight...

    That is what I have been working on. I am going to try DE with the filter. I do live in the country and deal with west texas winds and its dust. I know the pool water cycles at lease 3 times a day. One thing that has always bothered me is that the skimmers do not get filtered. It goes...

    Yet another algae fight...

    I have not tried the OCLT. The filter has been running since the beginning of April. I have been backwashing. I brush every few days at the moment. I also have a robot sweeper that I run frequently. I will admit that time is hard for me to come by. I think I lost focus after a few weeks of...

    Yet another algae fight...

    Sorry, not enough details. I stopped due to the FC only dropping 1-2 points in a 24 hour period. I brushed a few times a day for the first couple of weeks. I only use bleach and once in a while dichlor, for shock. Never used Cal Hypo. These results are with TF100. The pool store gave me a...

    Yet another algae fight...

    Hello all, Working on getting the pool ready for the season. Long story short... Horrible algae grown over the winter. SLAMed for 12 days at 28-32 ppm. CYA at 35 or so at that time. Since then I cannot get the water clear. Cloudy, I hate it. It is now 29 days later. Levels are as...
