Are they worth the money to use in maintenance dosages? Details: Our pool is a little over 2 months old and I maintain it myself. I've been using Pooltec every week for the last month based on the recommendation of the guy that did our start-up service (he normally only services commercial...

I've noticed a couple of them in my pool (didn't notice them until I had swimming goggles on one day). Is there a health concern with them, or just an annoyance?

How long is "awhile"? I have a SWG- should I turn it off before adding acid (I always turn on my pump before adding acid, so that turns on the SWG too). Prior to adding the salt and turning on the SWG I would just add them both at the same time. Yikes. I guess I'll be reading some more...

No SWCG yet. I added salt this weekend and will be hooking up the SWCG soon (right now there is just a spacer cell).

My pool is new (filled up ~6 weeks ago) and I still see PH drift high fairly quickly. I add a little acid 2-3x per week. I guess I'm not experienced enough to know if this is stable or not.

It is drop based. I remembered I had another test kit that was ~1 year old and that also measured 70, so I'm going with that.

I had been testing with a test kit and was around 80. In the past couple of days it dropped to 70 so I was planning on adding some baking soda. Happened to test with some test strips that I have and according to that it looks like it is 100-120. The test kit is a basic one that I got with a...

Perfect. I had a feeling I just didn't know what it was called. Thanks.

Our plumber threw in a return line (isolated by a manual valve) that is just a threaded opening on the floor of the pool. This is in the middle of a Caribbean shelf and is intended to be used as a fountain by screwing in a short pipe there so it can shoot water in the air. I'm looking for a...

Brand new pool and the equipment hasn't been programmed yet (intellitouch i7+3- I've just had the filter pump running 24x7 so far to filter out plaster dust, etc). This is a pool+spa with shared equipment. What I am trying to understand is what valve setting combinations I will use at...

Good to know. The leak is probably coming from the light in the spa where the water level is 18" higher. The installer just capped the end of the conduit, so I think I'm good to go.

We put 5 Savi Melody lights in our new pool (first time pool owner). At the equipment pad, one of the 5 conduits for the lights has filled with water and is (very) slowly spilling over, so there is a small wet spot on the concrete around it. Talking with the installer, his take was that it...

Pentair is shipping out a replacement. Fairly painless.

Brand new first-time pool owner, and this is my first post (of likely many). I set up my ScreenLogic protocol adapter with my intellitouch and it was working, but the SW version that I had on my PC that came with the screenlogic didn't seem to match the documentation online (mine is version...
