I have an intelliconnect and was having the same issue, except restarts were random. I went directly to the pump and changed it from military time back to regular "AM/PM" time and my restarts seem to be fixed. Maybe intelliconnect program has trouble reading military time? Who knows. I...

Hi, New pool owner. It's been raining all week, so the overflow drain has been draining the pool all week as well. Hurricane Elsa is expected to go through us Monday/Tuesday. Pool is SWCG. Pool is clear with no signs of algae. What are the priority levels I should keep balanced right now or...

Sodium dichlor-s-triazinetrione 58.2% is what I have. Clorox pool shock (no blue stuff). Tested again. FC 0.5 (using 10ml sample) CC 0.5 TA 90 CYA 60 PH 7.8 (Added MA per the pool math app) CH 380 Thank you.

I have a bag of shock in hand. Can I add that to get the fc level up in the meantime?

I read that it was okay to dump the test water back in. Maybe it's affecting results and I shouldn't... The results are from the Taylor 2006c test kit. I just used the 25ml marker (0.2ppm per drop). Cya marker level was between 60-70, so I estimated it. I got the salt level from the ichlor and...

I've been testing my levels with the Taylor 2006c test kit and the fc test has been cloudy recently. The pool looks clear with no signs of algae. I added calcium about 2 weeks ago by dissolving in a bucket, but there are still flakes and powder on the bottom of the pool. CH came back 375, so...

Hi, Our pool was recently completed and we are working on landscaping at this time. What type of drainage landscape do you guys recommend around an overflow drain (gravel, river rocks, mulch and bushes, etc.) ? Also, any recommendations for a deck drain drainage? It is right next to our paver...

I have a new pool with Intelliconnect and the link2O would constantly lose connection and would give me a login error frequently. I was frustrated that this is what I paid for. I would have to go outside to manually reset the intelliconnect in order to reconnect and that wouldn't fix the login...

There's a concrete footer that surrounds our pool for a post on one end. Currently, the middle post is just anchored to the pavers (no concrete footer). The other roof end is attached to a supergutter that is attached to our covered lanai (no post). I attached a picture for reference. The pool...

Live on west coast central Florida area where we do get the occasional hurricane. About an hour from the gulf of Mexico. The pan roof is about 8x26. I feel it does need it for safety and securing purposes with the weather/winds we can get here. The screen enclosure contractor the builder uses...

I have a 26' long pan roof being installed. One side is secured to the covered lanai via supergutter and the other side with a post through the edge concrete footer. The backside is secured to the house. The front middle post is secured to the pavers only. Is the middle post required to have a...

Hi, We are planning on a simple 13x27 rectangular pool, light pebble finish, 3-5' depth, and a 6x13 sunshelf in the shallow end (swimming area would be 13x21). Was thinking of doing 2 colored microbrites spaced evenly in the swimming area on the long side facing away from the house, but PB...

How are you draining? Do you have an overflow built in?

Thanks for the pictures. Our pool will be smaller about 28x14, but our deep end about 5 ft will be opposite the shelf, not a sports pool. Is your intellibrite centered in the swimming area or centered in the entire pool including shelf? Our PB recommends to place it on the deep end to shine...
