It is not nicheless.

Just replaced one of my pool lights (color logic) and to say it was a bear is an understatement. The lights were installed when the pool was refurbished 6 years ago and the installer shoved some type of sealant, which turned rock hard, about a inch into the conduit. My question is do I really...

Tcarroll2, never was able to get it working so I returned it. Fortunately, after returning it, I found another one on eBay and I was able to connect it to the base unit without any problems. Good luck.

My next door neighbor just had a pool built and wanted to know who serviced my pool. When I told him I’ve been doing it since my pool was renovated nearly six years ago, using the TFP method, he looked a bit surprised. Seeing his reaction, I told him about TFP and showed him the app and...

Good to know…thanks.

So the drop from 26 to 15ppm over eight hours on a sunny hot day is not necessarily excessive? As the chlorine drops to the high single digits the loss should slow down significantly?

PH -7.8 Alk -70 Cya - 70 Ch -275 Salt - 3800 Also, SWG is off.

Tested water last night at 8pm and chlorine reading was 27. Tested this morning at 7am and reading was 26 and 0 cc and crystal clear water so passed the OCLT. Now from 7am to 2:30pm chlorine dropped to 15ppm. Is that excessive or expected? Weather is hot and sunny.

Thanks, Texas Splash. I didn’t realize there could be a big drop if slam chlorine levels were exceeded…learn something every day. We’ll try the OCLT tonight.

My sons pool was eating chlorine, so did a OCLT and from 8ppm at sundown dropped to 2ppm at sunrise. He started a slam and with a 70 cya set a 28ppm chlorine level and has been able to maintain that level with a lot of chlorine additions. For the past three days, the water has been very clear a...

OK…thanks again.

Was at my son’s house on Sunday and got a chance to check out your suggestions. First, the SunTouch is able to control the pump. Second, the cable is good and the connections were sprayed with an electric cleaner and also appears good. So that would leave the two com chips. Since the SWG is only...

Jim, relayed the info to my son and he told he cannot control the swg from the SunTouch. Appreciate any additional advice you can provide.

Thanks Jim.

My son has a Pentair sun touch controller, IC40 SWG, manufacture date 8/09/22 with external power supply. The cell is producing chlorine and functioning normally with all lights steady green. The external power supply has a green light on the circuit board. The problem is the sun touch...
