I don't need help often, but when I do it tends to be because of the SWG. I installed an IC60 in 3/2018, which was courtesy replaced by Pentair 5/2020. That cell just died yesterday. As I'm searching around for solutions to my blinking green light I'm noting all of the posts of other users who...

Here are my pool data (relevant stats are in my sig): FC: 12 pH: 7.0 TA: 110 CH: 300 CYA: 30 Salt: 3000 Temp: 82 F CSI: -0.59 These are the parameters as of this afternoon. I brought the CYA up to 30 instead of 0 and started another SLAM. I was going to do a complete SLAM and then spike it to...

The coping around my pool is lifting up or the slab around it is settling down...or maybe it's intended to be like this :) What would be the best way to address this lifting/settling? Or is it even a big deal given that the pool has been here probably in similar condition for over 30 years...

I currently have 10 jets in my in-ground spa. There are six along the wall and two at calf height and two at the feet pointing straight up. They look like this: Should I just clean these up and put them back or are there better ones that would pair with my 3HP VS pump? Also, if my light is...

I have a question regarding switching my multiport valve to different settings and then having to re-prime my Intelliflo VSP. I can't change the multiport settings while the pump is running but the pump primes at 3450. How do I change the settings without blowing my plumbing or filter apart? Do...

I have a suction cleaner port on the side of my pool but I have no idea where it leads to. I can't find any pipes capped off. How would I go about diagnosing where the capped off line is short of digging up the entire area around my pad? Short of that, since I have a robot cleaner, what should...

I have my spa drained and the light is a full sized pentair with a blown bulb. I have it all disassembled and was trying a regular bulb (tried a flood and a CFL) in it to test the light switches but no lights are working. I noticed on the label it says that it has a "low water safety device."...

I have an established, inherited pool that has lived on pucks for likely decades. The CYA is currently off the charts. I have a TF-100 kit but I'm not sure which chemical to bring under control first before I start up my intellichlor. Should I aim for making sure my pH is correct before I drain...

We're almost done with re-plumbing my pad but messed up on the sprays. This is what it used to look like: This is what it looks like now: I can already see one issue with the input of my pentair pump. That's 2" pipe so it should have at least a 10" straight run into the inlet according to...

I am finishing up my Easytouch 8 install. I plan to control: VS Pump 2 actuators: 3 way valves to control pool/spa/spillover SWCG Solar water feature 2 pool lights 1 spa light Fence lights maybe heater eventually I can not find any bonding wire for my pool that was installed in 1978. The...

I'm trying to replumb my pad and I am having trouble figuring out where to put my jandy valves. I want to put one where red dot on the left is. That is where main drain and skimmer feed into the pump intake. The spa drain, though, is all the way over on the right where the other red dot is. I...

I just received my IntelliChlor and the instructions state to keep the CYA level between 30 and 50, but the TFP CYA chart says SWCG Pools should maintain CYA between 70 and 80. Which recommendation should I be following? I'm in the desert and the pool receives sun all day and pretty much all...

My main question is whether I should replace the only working pump with a VSP and whether that will be strong enough to go through the filter, an eventual spa heater/solar heating, and 10 jets or if I should plumb one of the spa main drains into a second booster pump?

Hi, I'm getting a house with a pool and currently there exists 3 pumps. I don't know how it's plumbed but I believe only one pump is operational. It's setup on a timer and the spa spills over into the pool. The pool/spa was built in 1981 and the pipes are all at least 2 inches and maybe even...

I didn't get a picture of the label, but I should be able to in the next few days.

Maytronics makes selecting their models unnecessarily difficult. I ran into the same issues trying to compare models when I was looking at a robot for our assocation's pool. When I called the representative was polite but unhelpful--she tried to help, but wasn't able to navigate the website any...
