Retested using the "fading endpoint" method and got a very clear CH reading of 675. I suspect my testing methodology has become lax here over time. My CH level has crept up and I have not really noticed. I will partially drain and refill ... when it gets a little warmer! Thanks for the help.

My initial (fearful) reaction was that I've done something so terrible it's leached out of the plaster. But I don't know if that's even a thing really... so you are right; I have no explanation for where the calcium has come from - that's why it's surprising to me. It's a fair call on the...

Sorry - I should have mentioned that. Very little fill water. Some, but not much - we have had enough rain to keep things topped up. No Cal-Hypo. The only chemicals I have added in the last 6 months have been Bleach and Muriatic Acid

Hi Folks I've been running the TFP way for a long time. I don't post here much because I don't have a complicated set up and, I guess, I have been pretty lucky too! ;) For the last several years, over the winter, at the point the water temp drops into the mid 50s F, I take out the SWCG, do one...

Hi Brian - Longest I've waited is 15 mins. Most of the time right now i'm giving it about 2 mins.

Hi All back home and back on the case of this one. Jim - this is an easy one to answer: No, the pump does not start but as expected the pump's display says: "Pump Address 1 DISPLAY Not Active!" Correspondingly if the pump is started up again, while in service mode, then I make the switch to...

Hi Jim (and anyone else who wants in on this puzzle!) Assume nothing when it comes to my pool knowledge! It's self taught and has more holes than Swiss cheese. In this instance though.. Yes, pushing the mode button twice AUTO > SERVICE > TIMEOUT > AUTO. Yes, when in auto pump looks like...

Re: IntelliFlo <> EasyTouch issue - The Return! Thanks! That was not something I had checked! Sadly - No delays or alerts.

Hi both To detour on wiring for a moment. Yes, it's a mess... a beautiful rainbow of a mess! It's not one of my creation, and i don't think it's go anything to do with my problem here, but I have poked around enough to be able to explain it. Its a 240V system so there are 2 x 120V feeds that...
