Wow! This is the help and response from pentair in relation to the replacement tabs they sell and advised me to use. I asked how they're supposed to be fitted... Sent from my SM-G920V

So I have worked out, the mystery open pipe by the filter is connected to the mystery pipe in the pool - so I will be able to make it into a functioning fountain! My question is, would it be best to have the pipe from the filter split in 2, one to the chlorinator (which ultimately won't be used...

I cannot understand why they didn't do the CYA... Either way, I've purchased the TF100 and stirrer, so hopefully I can get on well with everything, thank you so much for your input and advice [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

FC 4 CC 0 pH 7.8 TA 170 CH 400 CYA - shows not tested

Yeah, I'm reading and reading, this is an awesome site and I can gain so much info from knowledgeable people. The results I gave, admitedly were taken about 2 months apart. However, I am going to look at buying a TF100. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I have the same problem..... My pump seems to have to prime itself as a bunch of the water has gone down in the basket part. As is fairly apparent I am new to all this, any ideas where I could be having problems from? I don't have a multiport valve I'm guessing? Sent from my SM-G920V using...

I've been using the HTH test strips at the moment, it seemed fairly basic, but does the job. I'm guessing for more in depth I need something else, a bit better? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I'll try putting air down the open pipe at the filter end to see if it bubbles out the pipe in the pool. I have adjusted that pipe in to all manner of angles to see if i can make it do something, but nothing happened yet. I'll start looking in to liquid chlorine as opposed to the 3" tablets i am...

The one they told me i had to have (from Pinch a Penny) initially was too small. The original gate was 8" 3/16, the first spring loaded one was 7" 13/16 which fitted but was quite easily moved. I returned it, and got one that was 8" 3/8 (why they change measurement sizes i don't know). Initially...

Thank you for your answers, i appreciate it. I thought the pipe in the pool may well be a fountain, but unsure as to why someone would make a fountain outlet so ugly and crude. Also i have no idea how to make it work...unless the open pipe at the filter area has something to do with it?! So in...

So i have just got in to this pool keeping game, in my new house! I am trying to understand the differences in pool chlorine. Some people say use liquid, others say don't, some say use a floater, others say don't, some say shock weekly, others say don't. Can someone please explain to me what...

I have what i believe to be a Pentair skimmer system (that's what the lid says anyway), so assuming it's not an after market lid... One of the tabs on the side of the weir inlet have broken off, the skimmer gate will no longer stay on - I have tried the spring loaded replacement flaps, but they...
