    Montucky hello from Montana! New pool at hotel is driving me nuts.

    You're freaking awesome! Thanks! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me! I just take orders really well. I was told to keep the alkalinity at 100 so the boiler does not **** out on us. This was the order given after a new pentair boiler failed months after install. the guts were...

    Montucky hello from Montana! New pool at hotel is driving me nuts.

    The state of Montana requires us to have the big blue box. Taylor Test Kit K2006c. I like the kit and would not consider a color matching chl test. We test 4 times a day so we eat up the dpd powder! There is a floating rumor that the powder is the most nuclear stuff on the property. :) Still...

    Intellichem Install... Am I crazy? PH- Feeding the wrong chem?

    Well, lets see if I can figure this photo thing out... After confirming my suspicion that an intellichem controller can't be set up to feed base chemicals automatically, I wanted to confirm this with the MFG. I spoke with an expert in automation after being transferred three times. They were...

    Intellichem Install... Am I crazy? PH- Feeding the wrong chem?

    It was a little late so my wording may have been confusing. I read it again and didn't see where I wanted to feed Base. My supervisors in Management have a tendency to be a bit skeptical for some reason and I have just learned to deal with that and let them pay for it later instead of listening...

    Intellichem Install... Am I crazy? PH- Feeding the wrong chem?

    Hello there! I have been taking good care of a 50K outdoor pool and a 5K outdoor spa for over 5 years now and love the old system. Everything is very basic and pretty much what I would call manual. It reminds me of the pool I helped my grandpa take care of growing up. Simple and easy to take...

    Montucky hello from Montana! New pool at hotel is driving me nuts.

    Hi there! I have been working in a hotel for over 5 years now and take the maintenance of our pool and spa very seriously. I take care of it as if my own children would be swimming in it. I do not have a CPO but my friend at work who has moved to another department has one and I stole his book...
