One of mine lost the red color. The other just went out completely. Both were luckily fixed while I was still under warranty. One thing to look into is whether you might have a 3 year warranty if you bought all Pentair equipment as package through your builder.

Re: My FC is 23 PPM! After some light research, it seems one heaping scoop or two scoops should give similar results. Apparently, you can't use too much but can use too little.

Re: My FC is 23 PPM! The instructions I have with the test kit are to add one heaping scoop of the DPD powder. Does the Youtube video state to use two scoops?

Do you have an automation system that monitors temperature? It could be a temperature sensor. My temperature sensors from the EasyTouch system look like that.

Why do you recommend drilling/tapping into the straight PVC? Wouldn't it be better to drill/tap into the t-fitting that has a thicker wall section? It seems like if I go to the right of #3, this would be so close to the Rainbow feeder that I might as well just inject into the bottom port of...

I am looking for advice on which injection point I should choose for my new Stenner pump. 1) Between heater and actuator valve Advantage - nice open area out of the way, thick coupling to tap into, able to sanitize spa if spa jets are running. Disadvantage - not after check valve, potential...

Do you have a return in the spa so that the spa water overflows into the pool whenever your pump is running? If so, I would think it would be balanced fairly closely to your pool water (unless you just added chemicals to the pool and it hasn't had a chance to distribute yet through the...

Jim, I can see the picture and it is exactly what I needed! I really appreciate you taking the time to do this. Thanks, Rob

This is a good reminder about brushing. I knew it was important during new plaster startup and was diligent in doing it once a week for several few months after....however, I became more lazy over time. I need to get back to brushing the walls regularly even though the pool is clear and never...

Just wanted to stop in and say welcome and Gig 'em! Fellow Aggie here.

It is an actual GFCI receptacle with reset and test buttons. Sounds like isolating the two outlets so one is connected to relay and one is always hot is not possible.

Jim, Yes, I received the PM and also replied to it the same day. I no longer see it in my PM history. I also posted again to this thread but it is no longer here. I think all this happened when the forum server was acting up and some posts are lost. I will resend PM. rphpool, It sounds...

I have read through most (if not all) the Stenner pump installation posts. I see many of you have integrated the pump successfully to an EasyTouch relay but I am unable to find much detail on how this wiring is actually done. I am generally a DIY person but am quite clueless when it comes to...

Does anybody have a recommendation for the best way to color the existing mortar on my moss rock wall? It has always been lighter than the rocks and the sun seems to have whitened it even more. I prefer the joints to be more brown to blend in with the rocks. I know you can buy colors to mix...
