    Pool a little cloudy and low PH after heavy rain (2 similar events in the last 2 weeks)

    But it was crystal clear just right before the heavy rain. Could this be algae in my pool that propped up just after the rain? Or algae from the rain? I’m not really sure what is happening. Ugh.

    Pool a little cloudy and low PH after heavy rain (2 similar events in the last 2 weeks)

    I normally go overkill with testing...and pool has always been on point and has that TFP sparkle. That said, opened the pool 1 month ago and havent really been in the water much. Maybe 2-3 times since opening...so needless to say, not very active. I SLAMed after opening and had the...

    Liner Issue when Opening

    Not my pool…but my sisters pool. 2nd opening this year for this brand new pool. Last year upon opening, it had the same crinkled liner (shown in picture).

    Where to connect Intellivalve?

    Thanks. Does that mean I would connect the 3 pin to Valve A or B? If so, what about the green/yellow wires? Also, although the “on/off analogy” is fine as you explained, I thought I was able to do a 75/25 split if I wanted to with the Intellivalve.

    Intellivalve when winterizing

    Wondering what you all do when winterizing your equipment. Do you leave your Intellivalve hooked up and wired in? Or do you take it out and disconnect from IntelliCenter during the winter period? I keep everything out with the exception of my salt cell.
