I'm on the other side of thought. I wouldn't waste the money on a polaris. The paramount systems work great with very little maintenance. You didn't mention if you also got the leaf canister option with the Paramount system. I would highly recommend it. It basically captures all of the...

The SPA mode can definitely interact with the valves. On our system, I have a button programmed that says SPA. When I push it, the intelliflo increases in speed and the valve is turned which stops all pool water from returning to the SPA. I know its not exactly the same thing but we also...

The key to the programming is in how you name the circuits. I'm going by memory so this may not be exactly right but hopefully it will point you in the right direction. We have a combo Pool/Spa and the Inteliflo VS pump controls both the pool and spa. Like you, normally we're just running on...

I'm not sure if I totally understand your situation, but I think all of the PCC2000 systems have 2 fixed nozzles in the deep end which are up all the time and pointed toward the main drain. The purpose is to direct all of the debris toward the main drain where it can be sucked in. Except for...

I've also got a PCC 2000 and it is easily able to keep out pool clean even though we have 4 huge oaks in the yard. Do you have the leaf canister option? We had an issue last year where it wasn't cleaning well and I found out that the main drain had a lot of leaves clogged in it. Hardly any...

This is why I have an in line chlorinator which takes the 3" pucks. I use it when I need to bring my CYA up and when I'm on vacation. I typically keep my CYA a little lower before going on an extended vacation. While I'm gone I can fill it up with pucks and not worry about the CYA rising too...

Jim at Paramount is a very good resource and has always given me great advice. If more people actually setup their in floor cleaning systems like they were designed, they would love them. Our system has run flawlessly for 3 years now, in large part to what Jim told me. Our pool builder had...

I typically get my replacement reagents from Amazon.com. To save on shipping I just order it when I'm ordering something else.

I've been thinking about trying this myself. Where did you get the boric acid?

I've got a PCC-2000 system and it works great. It really seems complex, but once you understand it, its actually very simple and easy to troubleshoot. ATXPOOL's right about Kurt's blog it has great info. Also, you can call Jim Circlin at Paramount. He has always called me back quickly and is...

I would concur with the cottonwood suggestion. We've got cottonwood's behind our house and in the spring, it definitely looks like you described. It hard to even get out of the skimmer baskets. I usually have to clean my filter twice in the spring to get it all cleaned out. Its just about...

I'd like a PDF copy. You should be able to post it as a link if that works.

I've got a puck feeder installed and I've dialed it down to 2 so they should dissolve slowly. We'll see how it goes.

My TA is currently at 60 and my PH still tends to rise. I've got a fair amount of aeration though, which is what I think it is. Any issues if I tried to lower it below 60?
