I also added the 10% liquid chlorine yesterday per pool math and things look good this morning. I’ll turn my SWG back down a bit and hope levels maintain. Thanks to everyone for the quick responses.

I don’t think I have an algae problem because FC levels were a bit low but not zero before this morning. I’m hoping it’s related to @SJPoe answer and running the SWG at 100% for a couple of days will bring my FC back up.

I have a new (filled 2 months ago) pool. Prior to yesterday, I had things going along pretty well chemistry-wise but both my CYA and calcium levels were a bit low. I had recently bumped up the SWG to 70% output because the FC had been around 2.5. After running at 70% for a couple of days (10...

Another update to this dated thread. I had done as @TonyR68 did above but then Pentair sunsetted the Intellicenter2 app and forced me to the Pentair Home app. In the Pentair Home app, I was not able to disociate IntelliChem from IntelliChlor no matter what I tried. I did delete IntelliChlor from...

I just used a #6 drill bit and a M6x1.0 tap to make three holes through the two tubes at each joint and cut the threads for the provided screws. You could also...

I like that idea. I want to make sure I get enough bottom cleaning time though even if I’m not home or thinking about it. Maybe the bottom cleaning just isn’t as critical as I’m thinking it is.

I’ve been reading and it looks like the value actuators have cams that let you set the valve position stops at other than 180 degrees so maybe if I set the stop to continue to allow some flow from the skimmer and bump up the pump flow during the bottom cleaner time so the cleaner gets enough...

First post - I’m a first time pool owner as of a month ago. I found a thread where this Q was asked but not really answered so I’m asking again. https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/installing-valve-actuator-between-wall-suction-and-skimmer-main-drain.286497/ I have the same scenario where...
