Will do. Thanks guys!

Thank you. Will take your advice. Is it OK to add the chlorine, acid, and CYA all at once or does it need to be step-wise?

Hi Guys, My TFP Test kit finally arrived and I was able to test my pool chemistry today. Here are my results: CL: 0 Br: 0 TA: 110 CAH: 925 pH: 7.8 CYA: 0 (i'm assuming it is zero bc I could still see the black dot with the view tube completely full) My pool guy was just here 2 days ago, so my...

will do! As soon as I figure out how ?

thank you. I did review that before. I also learned that the lit Leds may not always be a true indicator of the underlying problem.

honestly I have no clue what it is. The heater exchanger looked clean when I opened it up. Do you think in may have cleaned up? Though the service light still comes on. Anything else I can do short of replacing the whole thing?

Hello all. Newbie here hoping to find some assistance. I have a Pentair Mastertemp 250 pool heater. When the heater is turned on, after a variable amount of time the service heater light comes on. It is almost always within the first 10 minutes of operation. Once the service heater light comes...
