Thank you Allen, that saves me time not trying to update it and finding out it wouldn't work. I'll look into the ET-IC upgrade. Thank you for the links.

Hi guys. I have an easytouch1 8 Controller Firmware: 1.050 Protocol Adapter Version: POOL: 5.2Build 738.0 Rel Configurator Version 5.2Build 738.0 Rel The Easytouch was put in in 2006. I read on here for the firmware update to work, it should be post 2009> Before I go down this road of...

HI, I just did this and got the web page up and working. Did you take it any further than that? I am also using the smartthings cutom device handeler by BSileo, bsileo/SmartThings_Pentair , and now have the equipment as devices on my smartthings app.

OK. I'm going to pick some up today from Lowe's. They have 2 gallons for $6.49. I'll be sure to check the date. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Where did you get the kemtek from. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Update: I had a few spots of algae. Numbers look good, so I added 2 gallons Liquid Chlorine (10% I found it a Lowes 2 for $6.87) last night. I didn't get a chance to test it this morning, but I will probably need 2 more gallons to get it to shock level. Then I will test again and clean the...

Good Morning. I got the pH up last night. Waited 30 min. And added all the bleach I had on hand, which was 2 bottles of 8.25%. Here are my numbers as of the morning... FC 14.5 PH 7.5 TA 80 CH 300 CYA 60 CC .5 TC 15 As I see it, everything checks out ( let me know if I'm off). I need to...

No, not really. I added 37oz acid to drop pH to 7.2. and 32 oz bleach to bring the FC from 4 to 5. I waited 30 min in between. That was about 30 min ago. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

How long do i wait to add the chlorine after I add the acid and then how long after I add both of those before we can get in the pool thanks Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I did 10 tests of straight pool water and R0013 with the help of the wife and kids. I had 6 60's, 2 70's, 1 55, and 1 80. So so i am going to go with 60 for now. The first 2 tests just have been my inexperience in doing the test. I am going to retest the rest of them today to get a feel for...

roger that! Ill do do several tests and take the ones that have the most matches. I'll post back. Fingers crossed I don't have to drain.

Ok. According to the Extended Pool Test link I did the following. If your CYA level is 90 or higher, repeat the test adjusting the procedure as follows: Fill the mixing bottle to the lower mark with pool water. Continue filling the mixing bottle to the upper mark with tap water. Shake...

I'm going to retest the cya the morning. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Thanks. I will try it again in the morning by filling with pool water to the bottom mark, then with tap to the top and shake. Then poor out to the bottom mark start at #2 and test again. Then multiply the results by 2. I'll report back. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

OK. Here are the results as best as I can tell re first time using this. FC 5 CC 1 PH 7.2 TA 150 CH 250 CYA 100 According to the pool math, I should add 119oz 14.5℅ MA to lower the PH to 7.0 and then aerate to increase it back to 7.2? Add 119oz calcium chloride Drain 60% of the pool and...

This is great. My test kit comes in today (hurry up truck!). Glad to see you are making improvements and love the pictures! I will be following this as I am about a day behind you....

Richard - Test kit should be here when I get home from work (it's on the truck for delivery). I will run the test for all chemicals and report back. I am actually a little anxious to see the results. Marian - Roger That!

Thanks for the info. Tracking says the test kit will be here tomorrow. Pool is getting algea pretty bad. I am brushing it daily. FC is probably pretty low since I took the tabs out. Can't wait to find out what the pH is. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Ok. That makes sense. come to think of it, I have not had to add any ash or borax in the years I have had this pool. I usually just add about 4 cups of acid every (or every other week) and use the 3" tabs in a floater. seems to work OK, but I really want to get a handle on testing and...

What a small world. Good to know about the hard water. I knew we had hard water, but didn't know what effect it had on the pool water.So if your PH is low, how do you raise it if you have never added Borax? I can see the reasoning for Baking soda. Cheers!

I was using the chlorine tabs, which I am removing, wouldn't that have been my chlorine source?

These are the tabs I was using... Leslie's 3 Inch Jumbo Tabs Chlorine Buckets

Thanks Tex, I have already done a ton of reading. I will be ordering the TF-100 kit (i have a kit at home, but am not sure the extent of the tests it can do, it was pretty inexpensive). I will take a few tests with the kit I have until the TF-100 comes in. I know I can use bleach(I will get...

Hi, I have been taking care of my own pool since it was installed in Oct. 2006. I don't know if I am doing it right, but it stays pretty clean with the occasional algea that gets brushed off every week during summer. I have chlorine tabs (2") I get from Leslie's, and I add about 4 cups of...
