At pump startup - White flakes come out of each outlet for 2-3 min. We had this occur 4 years ago when I had my pool tech taking care of the pool and I thought it was from high CH. I don't remember what the verdict was back then ... but the next year I found TFP and took control of my pool...

I have been fighting this issue for the past few years. My gunite pool was built in 2013. I have Black Onyx plaster. I have been using the TFP - BBB method of managing pool chems for a few years and feel I am knowledgeable in chem management. So I have been getting these small white calcium...

Just a quick question about my IC40. I have had issues with my IC40 after the first year. Replaced it once after the 3rd year after working with pentair tech support - freebie. So my question now is ... when my pump is not running ... should the IC40 be on the same power source cycle and be...

Does anyone know of a good leak detection company in SW Michigan? I'm looking for a different company than American Leak Detection - just need another option. Thanks!

I am in need of some expert assistance. My 2013 gunite rectangular pool seems to be losing water. If I turn off the autoflow .... it loses about 1" per 24 hours. I have a auto cover and most days it is open less than 2-3 hrs and the pool gets very low use. I had the best Michigan leak...
