    Pentair Intellipro VSR

    I follow the TFP CYA/FC chart pretty religiously...mostly by adding liquid chlorine every night or two to keep my FC up. However, I wouldn't mind at least a slow trickle of chlorine from the tabs. I plan on a stenner in the future and won't need the chlorinator any longer.

    Pentair Intellipro VSR

    Hi I currently run my VSR pump continuously at 35GPM which keeps my pool nice and clean. However I have a chlorinator that does not get enough water flow when my VSR pump is running at such a low speed. I am looking to run the pump at a faster speed for maybe 1-2 hours a night to try to pick...

    Light Spots on Dark Plaster ... Smooth ... Scale?

    The other thing that I find odd is that when I run the robot pool cleaner, I find a decent amount of blue Gray sand/grit in the vacuum filter- looks like plaster. Anyone run into this?

    Pentair Intellipro VSR - Can’t Figure Out Why it Turns Off!

    Hi I have a pentair intellipro vsr pump. I’d like it to run continuously. I know there are 8 program presets, can be manual, scheduled, or egg mode. I have mine running in preset 3, manual, at 65gpm. For some reason, it seems to turn off completely overnight. I know there is a time out...

    Calcium Crystals Upon Opening

    Have you tried orenda SC-1000? Any idea what your calcium was at coding last year? Good chance that it was low and when the Ohio winters hit, the LSI drops drastically which causes the calcium to be pulled from the plaster and that shows as crystals on the surface. PM me your pool builder.
