2 problems: intellichlor seems to be working great, all lights work except for the 20, 40, 60, 80% led lights at the bottom. I verified the 100% led works by setting the clean cycle time. I know the intellichlor is working due to it's maintaining FC. Has anyone had the led's go out? What to...

Doh! Man, it makes sense now that you say it. I would have always passed the OCLT if you hadn't of mentioned that. Some of the obvious things i miss. Thanks! Bama Rambler, i'm originally from LA (Lower Alabama) Fairhope, AL to be exact.

I hate to post before i got any help but i would really like to know if i'm headed in the right direction or if i'm totally off base. I did unplug the chlorine generator last night (intellichlor). I will see tonight if my FC will finally start dropping. It's taken a while but slowly the pool...

That's exactly where the name came from. I can't get enough of pretty much anything abita puts out. OK, i did another test tonight. I didn't do the OCLT test because the CC could have gone .5 or 1, it's pretty close between the two. FC = 28 CC = .5 or 1 again. TA = 230 CYA = 45 forgot to add...

I made a mistake of shocking the pool (week+) before getting the pH in order. If i had read the basics better i think i'd already have my pool in order. First get your pH right then i'd follow the green swamp to sparkling oasis article. Take my advise w/ a grain of salt i've only been doing...

Did another test last night: FC = 23 CC = 1 TC = 24 TA = 220 CYA = 30 CH = 440 So, i added another 4lb stabilizer and haven't been adding any bleach for 3 days. Pool is still cloudy but now I'm assuming its from the Calcium.

Yes, I was basing most everything on the green swamp to sparkling oasis and the three B's. I've read the Pool school articles. I used the pool calc to figure how much MA and bleach i needed initially. But it seems i could have been way above 8.2. I wasn't trying to get my FC above 10, just...

OK, i was reading other posts trying to pick up information. And read this... If your FC above 10ppm then this will make your pH test inaccurate. Is this true? I've putting in a gallon of bleach a day for over a week now. My FC was 25 ppm this morning. And again my pH was above 8.2. TA was...

I was wondering why the instructions said to clean w/ a damp cloth (so i skipped that, oops). now i know, thanks. Yup, to do lower ph and keep up the FC. Thanks for all the help, keep it coming!

I've been reading for a couple weeks now and finally got my test kit (that i found on here) TF-100. Most everything is in my sig and avatar. I have a single Aqua Genie skimmer/return. If i left anything out let me know. Some background the pool is 2.5 yrs old and was a virtual swamp when i...
