    AutoPilot Digital Nano Not Generating

    Sorry guys, got side-tracked and didn't post back. Slam was completed per instructions and overnight loss is sub 1ppm (actually measured 0, so I did it again and still got 0). Sent Josh at SaltPoolGuys an email and wound up replacing the whole thing (display board was screwed up anyway) and...

    AutoPilot Digital Nano Not Generating

    Water got algae infested at the start of the summer, took most of June to clean it back up, but been crystal clear since with me adding chlorine every couple of days.... I'd been lazy on testing water the first half of the year ;) Pump and AutoPilot run 24/7, AutoPilot has been at 100% since...

    AutoPilot Digital Nano Not Generating

    Have a 4 year old Digital Nano that has stopped generating chlorine. Cell is clean and relatively new (new last summer) and display indicates generating at 100% yet unless I add chlorine my FC sits at 0. Took the cover off the control box and measured just a touch over 15vDC going out to the...

    The Zodiac "Barracuda" MX8 Suction Side Cleaner

    I'll second Craig's suggestion. I've increased the suction to my MX8 slightly as well and it seems to do a very good job now with picking up fairly large leaves and stamps from our empress tree.

    The Zodiac "Barracuda" MX8 Suction Side Cleaner

    No experience with a pebble surface, but I can vouch for how well it works. It climbs all the way up to the tile and even occasionally gets the bottom two steps. It can clean the entire pool in about 4 hours after a dirt storm. About the only issue I've had thus far is some of the stems from the...

    New "big as it can be" pool.

    Thanks! If I ever get iPhoto to behave I'll upload some more pics. Yep. Its not as pronounced as it appears in the photos you referenced though. In those pics the concrete was a little damp right around the edge as I'd just hosed off the deck and the concrete seems to dry / change color back...

    Keeps logging out!!

    I've been having this problem too. Sometimes everything works fine and other times it just doesn't work. I'm not completely sure, but I think when it happens is when I've visited the forum from a different browser or device. Basically I'm saying I notice it more often when I go from using Safari...

    New "big as it can be" pool.

    I'll get some this weekend for y'all. Went by the house an hour or so ago and the water had cleared up a lot. Enough that I could see where I missed with the vacuum so I gave it a good brushing and threw in some more chlorine (using up the last of the stuff from the old pool before I switch to...

    New "big as it can be" pool.

    I think (though I'm not genius on pool stuff) that the no heating has to do with not running the plaster dust through the typical copper pipe though a heater...

    New "big as it can be" pool.

    Ya I saw that too... not going to happen since we swam last night :| We're doing a mostly traditional startup except the PB vacuumed with a vacuum head with bristles as soon as the water was in (i.e. yesterday morning). He said in his experience it doesn't hurt the paster and gets the dust...

    New "big as it can be" pool.

    Did a couple of water tests last night, but nothing more than really just learning the TF kit and how to use it. Mostly just been trying to keep up with the acid demand... Did go ahead and start putting chlorine in it trying to clear it up.

    New "big as it can be" pool.

    Thanks! For future reference the little plugs that Home Depot sells in the sprinkler section for use with the 1/4" drip line work well to plug a single line in a solar panel. Quick easy fix once the sun went down and it wasn't 130 up on the pergola. Now if the water would just clear up some...
