Same issue here, but mine is hooked up to an easy touch. Looked over at my equipment this morning and the intellichlor is lifeless. Intellichlor light on easy touch panel is green. Connection is fine. It's just dead. I reset the breaker and nothing. Any suggestions?

I am over near Betton Hills off of South Ride. Use Leslie's for chlorine since it is around the corner.

Updated numbers: FC 22.5, CC at 0, CYA at 40, TA at 70, ph at 7.3. Realized I still had my SWG on at 40%. I shut it off to help lower the FC.

Its weird. I have a problem getting rid of this service all together. Its not that I don't trust myself to manage the chemistry; rather, it is the idea of always having to clean the pool and pay attention to it religiously. I have a large pool with lots of trees so it gets a lot of stuff in...

Arrgggg. He added Dichlor even though I instructed him not add anything and not to raise the cya. Five pounds of it. How much will that raise my cya?

I will have to run a full panel of test later. Late yesterday ph was a nice 7.5. CC was .5. This morning FC was still through the roof at 25. Cya was at 20 yesterday but I added a small amount of cya to try to raise to 30. Water already looked better this morning.

I don't know. I will ask. - - - Updated - - - Hah. I work with another TFP member and he is smacking his head over me not moving on from this guy.

Using TFT-100. I think I need to part ways with this guy. He is kind of a jerk about the fact that I assert my own ideas.

Came home on Tuesday to find a green algae bloom in progress. 36000 gallon pool with a swg in Tallahassee Florida. I have to come clean and admit that I pay someone to maintain my pool which seems bad since I have an algae bloom. I am pretty sure they use test strips so their numbers tend to...

Want to echo the ultimate conclusion here. I dropped my BD in for the first time today and it did an amazing job of cleaning. I was really impressed at how fast it was and how it handled walls.

Interesting. I am likely going to refinish this coming winter and the guy I will probably use suggested epoxy and said he would replace the whole thing.

Re: Small amount of Algae and slightly cloudy - Plan of Atta Thanks. I am going to start raising my CYA to 70 (I have a swg). Once there I will maintain a FC level around 5 ppm. Does that make sense?

Re: Small amount of Algae and slightly cloudy - Plan of Atta After spending a lot more time reading in here, I believe that I have black algae. The good news is that I have been brushing all the spots I can find with a wire brush. Man, this stuff is hard to get off. I dont have much of it...

Re: Small amount of Algae and slightly cloudy - Plan of Atta Update: second night during shocking and I saw a 2ppm loss of FC. Definitely better but not there yet.

Re: Small amount of Algae and slightly cloudy - Plan of Atta Is there any reason at all for chlorine levels to drop during nightime other than being consumed by algae? I ask becuase the proverbial pool guy seemed to think there was. He acted like I should expect it to fall no matter what. I...
