Nope no freezing temps here for a few months. But out of curiosity, what might a freeze indicate? But thanks. To clarify, it sounds like you are saying this just appears like something caused the circuitry to short out, and doesn’t resemble the effects of a gas build up… correct? Here are a...

The power is wired to the filter relay on an intellitouch automation system. So it’s only getting power when the pump is running. But that’s why I’m wondering if maybe the flow rate from the pump got so low that the pump could have almost been considered to be functionally “off”, and the flow...

I recently had my IC60 fail somewhat violently. I came home to find the top portion or “cap” of the cell laying a good 15-20 ft from the equipment pad with a burn mark on the inside of the cap and a small puncture through the black membrane inside the cell. Very similar to the images in this...

70. Everything else is about where they should be for salt water I believe. Tests from 2 days ago (taken shortly after adding acid hence the PH… it’s back up to 7.8 now).

Thanks. I had seen that before. I’m generally opposed to test strips, but figured borate levels may be the one area I could make an exception. Oh well.

Good idea… tap water (city pulls from both ground and surface water) test kind of hints at a pinkish shade for the bottom end of the spectrum… not confidently though. At the very least, something about my pool chemistry is causing a difference.

Thanks. FC is currently at 5ppm. This is what a “new” strip looks like, in case the color could indicate if they went bad. The seal on the bottle didn’t seem especially secure, so perhaps that’s it.

I just converted to salt water and was planning to add borates to buffer PH rise. I ordered the Taylor borate test strips off TFTestkits. My water should have no borates right now, but 3/3 tests so far are providing a strange result. I followed the instructions on the bottle exactly, but I’m now...
