Hi all, Hoping a chemistry guru can help me make sense of something. I’ve been tinkering with a pH meter because I have a hard time differentiating the colors on the drop test, even after switching to a larger 2000-series (44 mL) comparator and R-0004 reagent. I calibrated the meter today at...

Hello all, Long story short, I had a computer crash, reinstalled Windows 10, and then tried to set up screen logic. I followed the instructions to update the protocol adapter to match the new ScreenLogic software that I downloaded here: ScreenLogic Update After doing this, I could see the...

I have an Intelliflo VSF that has been running fine for a couple of years (since new), scheduled by an EasyTouch PL4 and ScreenLogic. A couple of weeks ago, it stopped following the schedule (of course, while I was away for a week), causing my first green pool. When I got home, I noticed that it...

Hi all, As the weather and my pool water gets colder, it’s becomming harder to keep both the pH and CSI in range. My question is this: I understand that pH can affect swimmer (eye) comfort; but, during the winter when no one will be swimming, does the pH matter independently or only to the...

Hello all, So I'm having a party tomorrow and it seems I've turned my pool green today (of course!). This is an approx. 3 month old pebble pool, which I've successfully managed thus far using the TFP method. Since startup, I've added only liquid chlorine and acid, with the exception of using...

Hello all, So I'm about to go out of town, right as the thermometer toys with hitting triple-digits. To make a long story short, I have to leave my pool in the hands of someone who has little pool care experience. I use and love the TF-100, but I find the colorimetric pH and TC to require...

Hi All, I'm in the "free" startup month of pool service that was included with my new pool and I am trying to A.) learn as much as I can, both here and from the pool guy while I have him, B.) make sure he doesn't do anything I will regret later, and C.) not step on his toes too badly. I...

As my brand new signature (hopefully) says, my name is Steve, I live in the armpit of Sunny California, and I’m soon to be a second-time pool owner as soon as mine is finished in a couple of weeks. I enjoyed taking care of my last pool and I found the chemistry fun. While I’m not brand new to...
