    IC40 and ET8 salt readings

    The ET8 shows 0 ppm and COMM-NO ERRORS. The IC40 sometimes shows low salt and then sometimes high salt (based on led lights). The PB has known about this for at least two months and only have sent a guy out once. I am emailing Pentair about this and they think it is some other issue. I just...

    Pentair Easytouch 8 and spa mode

    I am looking to be able to use the Pentair app to switch from pool mode to spa mode. Currently I may be at work and tell someone home to go to the automation box and press the "V" button to move the valves from pool to spa. I then turn on the heater and aerator from remotely from my phone. I...

    PB says I should run at 2600 RPM's

    We are mostly done with our pool build. What I noticed is when I run the Pentair VSF pool pump at 1400 rpm's I will get air into the system because I see about 1-2 inches of air under the clear pump cover. I have to run the pump to 3000 rpm's to remove the air. I called the builder today to...

    It never stops

    So the PB was finally able to get the water/fire bowls installed this past Saturday. The supervisor said to not put any water in it for 24 hours to allow the mortar to setup. He said I can use the fire portion but it would look as good because there will not be any stone and glass in the...

    TF-100 results and 20 kids over tomorrow

    Gotta love my timing. The date of our start up was on 4/23/18. The PB was using the Pentair Rainbow to add chlorine to the pool. On 5/8/18 they still had the Rainbow on the high setting but then put added eight bags of salt to the pool. My results from yesterday evening was: pH=8.2 (added...

    Ledge Lounger colors

    I purchased two Cloud Ledge Loungers with our new pool. The PB's sample made the Cloud color look pinkish. I contacted the manufacture to see if they can send me additional pictures, which they did. So we finalized the color and received the loungers two days ago. Well they look nothing like...

    Getting bids

    I think they said it is good as a backup if my SWG fails and it didn't cost that much overall. How would it draw air for the jets then? This is my first pool. Well that depends on where the budget started from. If how much over from not knowing how much a hole in the ground with water cost...

    Pentair Magic Stream

    I just signed for a new pool. I love the looks of the colored magic stream laminars. Our pool is getting the DE filter. I noticed the laminars say to not use sand or DE filters. So is my only choice at this point is to change the main filter to a cartridge filter during construction or keep...

    And we're off in SE Houston

    We live in the Houston area and we are looking at getting a pool. We currently have had four PB here over the past three weeks. I have read that the PB in this area do not advise to getting a salt water pool and all four downplayed a salt pool. Anyway we are still getting everything together...
