Also the app says to add Borax, is this the right stuff?

Hi Guys! I think I screwed up and added too much acid yesterday, as you can see on my test results the PH is super low as well as TA. Trying not to panic and pool looks sparkling clean. I’ve added baking soda in the past but it didn’t raise the TA at all so now worried it won’t work. I’ve never...

Water level is steady, rarely have to add water. Rain has been mild, nothing too bad. Jim, I like your idea of bringing a sample in to warm up and then testing it.

Hi - I noticed that I keep needing to add salt to my pool every 30 to 60 days. I added a 40 pound bag about a month ago which took it up to 3200 and the salt level week over week keeps dropping lower and now it’s back to 2800 again. The lights on the salt cell show green but when I test it with...

Got it. Thank you both for your quick response 👍🏻

Hi! Can someone check my most recent test results? Everything seems to be within range but my CSI is out of range? Just wondering what is throwing it off? Also my SWG cold indicator light is on, so it’s not generating any chlorine but the level seems ok.

Not sure this is the correct area to post this. Appears I am leaking one of the chemicals on my skin when testing the water. I don’t realize it at the time until I see my skin stained brown. Any ideas of how to remove this and if it’s harmful? 🤷‍♀️

Hi! I’ve been using the app for a while now and my subscription is active and was renewed in February 2021. But every time I use the app it keeps requiring me to subscribe. I attached a picture, is there a way to resolve this?

OK not familiar with a multimeter, but will look into that. I'm guessing they sell the timer mechanism on Amazon? And what exactly is a CB?

Hi Guys - looking for some help with the timer that is hooked up to my SWG. I've noticed every couple days I need to adjust/correct the time. The timer is only 3 years old, could it be going bad already? Who would fix something like this, an electrician? I have been able to do a lot of things...

Ok makes sense. So looking back at my logs I think I maintained too high a level of FC and too low of CYA. I am going to adjust my levels to 2-4 FC and around 70 CYA. I had my output level at 20% which was probably too high. I’m going to start this one at 2% and see what happens.

Thank you guys for recommending Polytec! Received my new cell today, installed, nice to see those green lights! Question about CYA - was reading in the Pentair user guide that they recommend levels of 30-50ppm, however, the app recommends 60-90, which is what I've aimed for when testing. Is...
