    Betta SE Plus

    Nope, I filled the pool yesterday back up to maximum level so it's not a water level issue.

    Betta SE Plus

    Quick update. I had mine out of the pool for a week while I added some salt and other chemicals but now that some leaves are falling I put it back in on Friday. Sunday morning I noticed it was stuck at the skimmer opening but thought maybe it was because the frog saver thing was close to the...

    Need help figuring out tile and coping!!

    I like both of the tile options. The Barbados option looks similar to what we picked for our new pool which was the Premier Stone Cabana Emerald (CT-CAB-684). We had considered the French Grey PebbleSheen as well but ended up with Granite Blue instead since we wanted something a little darker...

    North GA Pool Rebuild Saga

    Wow, that was quite the update but sadly it seems to be more of the norm these days when it comes to pool contractors. We were on a very similar timeline as you and we aren't that far away down here in Cobb County. Started in early January and was given a timeline of finishing first week of...

    IntelliCenter2 Migration to Pentair Home

    One more question before I pull the trigger. I already have an account created for the Home app and it’s connected to my IntelliFlo pump over wifi. I did this when the equipment was first installed so I could control the pump speed until they had the IntelliCenter powered on and configured...

    Flagstone or Travertine ?

    We have ivory travertine decking and had a large flagstone walkway installed from the driveway to the backyard. In the summer heat so far the travertine has never become so hot that it’s uncomfortable to walk on. However, the flagstone gets really hot and we have to wear flip flops. We are...

    IC-40 salt reading Not Matching TF-Pro test kit

    So the new K-1766 arrived yesterday. The reagents are a different batch with different date codes (newer). I did a test last night using the same exact method as the video above and the results are identical - 3,400. The only way I can explain the drop in salt levels from previous K-1766...

    Done. I just ordered another from Amazon and it will be here Thursday.

    IC-40 salt reading Not Matching TF-Pro test kit

    So our salt level tests continue to confuse me even more. On Sunday after getting another test from Leslie's, I decided to add around half a bag (little less than 20 lbs) of salt in an attempt to increase our salt level by 200ppm. After adding the salt, the IC40 reading jumped to 2,900...

    Betta SE Plus

    So far my Betta hasn't collected much, but there hasn't been much falling in the pool (yet). I think the real benefits will be seen in the fall and spring when all sorts of things will be falling from the trees around our pool. I currently run my pump at 1600 RPM 6:00AM-9:00PM and the skimmers...

    IntelliCenter2 Migration to Pentair Home

    Thanks for the fast reply! What does the migration process look like? Are there any risks of attempting the migration and ending up with a non-functional app? That's probably my biggest concern here. I also don't like making changes to something that already works fine. I mean...

    IntelliCenter2 Migration to Pentair Home

    What is the current consensus on this? I'm getting the annoying popup asking to migrate every time I open the IntelliCenter2 app on my phone. I wish I could just mute the popup message for a while. I don't feel that there is any need to migrate but I assume that since they are asking every...

    Betta SE Plus

    That sounds like the ideal setup! I'll have to look into that other robot cleaner as an alternative to our Polaris.

    Betta SE Plus

    I'm asking myself the same questions. This morning before work I checked on mine and it was still chugging along and had collected around 6 leaves overnight. However, there were just as many leaves on the bottom of the pool so I'll likely need to run the Polaris cleaner like I have been. I...

    Betta SE Plus

    Thank you! I have to give credit to my wife for the final design and we love the way it turned out. It’s not the biggest pool, but it’s the largest size the county would allow due to easements and impervious buffers. It’s perfect for the two of us. And the water feature creates the perfect...

    Betta SE Plus

    And we’re off! I’ve been watching it for about 10 minutes now. It does get pushed a bit by the return jets but that hasn’t stopped it from roaming around the pool. It also maneuvered around the steps with no issues even at the shallowest part.

    Betta SE Plus

    My SE Plus just arrived and I’ve got it plugged into the charger since it’s a cloudy stormy day. I’m planning to put it in the water tonight or tomorrow. I’ll let everyone know how it does.

    That’s what o That’s what I’m hoping he will do. Here is another test I just got from Leslie’s about an hour ago.

    IC-40 salt reading Not Matching TF-Pro test kit

    Leslie’s showed 941 ppb. The other pool store showed 640 ppb. Dealing with the PB has been a challenge when it came to the equipment. The installer was dishonest about changes he was making and the work was sloppy. The last conversation I had with the PB company owner was him telling me he...

    IC-40 salt reading Not Matching TF-Pro test kit

    I may take another sample to a pool store again today. If the IC40 was consistently showing low salt then I would agree there may be something wrong with our K-1766 test. Back in May it was the opposite problem. The green salt light was flashing indicating high salt levels. It was showing values...

    Update #2: This morning when the pump turned on per its scheduled time, the IC40 is now showing 2,750 (drop of 200ppm) and the Low Salt red light is on once again. I attempted to perform the calibration but I think you all are correct. There is no way to calibrate these new models. The...

    IC-40 salt reading Not Matching TF-Pro test kit

    Update: I was able to get a cleaning cap delivered overnight from Amazon. I followed the instructions in the user guide for the IC40. There was very little scaling visible by looking with a flashlight. I used a diluted acid wash (4 parts water, 1 part acid) and only left the mix in there for...

    There are some creative ideas in this thread: Cleaning the cell..... Edit: I was able to get this delivered overnight and it worked perfect: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088GR51P2?

    IC-40 salt reading Not Matching TF-Pro test kit

    Leslie's doesn't have any stocked in-store around me. I guess the first step is to take a look at the salt cell to see what scaling we are dealing with. We have been fighting high pH since the pool was completed and have been adding muriatic acid on a regular basis. I suppose there could be...

    IC-40 salt reading Not Matching TF-Pro test kit

    Thanks for the advice. If I use vinegar, is there a way to safely clean without one of the cleaning caps? The earliest I can get one delivered via Amazon is Tuesday but I want to get this fixed before then.

    IC-40 salt reading Not Matching TF-Pro test kit

    This will be the first time I've attempted to remove this thing to inspect anything. It looks pretty straight forward but I'm always nervous trying something like this for the first time. I see that I'll need the acid cleaning kit (cap) to perform the proper acid cleaning so I'll try to get...
