Whoever tests this out, let me know how it works. Haha

I try to read or skim every post on TFP via the unread posts option. It takes a lot of work to keep up with. I was just curious of the average number of posts per day or month or whatever. Does the forum admin/mods have any stats on this? Thanks, Billy

I was ready to order the Autelis unit with the outdoor enclosure to make it wireless. I had it in the checkout cart but hesitated because I wasn't sure about the bare wire vs standard plug and whether I should get the GFCI upgrade for the outdoor enclosure. By the time I was ready to place the...

I had a lot of new equipment installed a month or so ago. My CYA still only testing about 40. My pump has been running 24 hours because my heater fan was turning on when the pump is off. The lowest setting I can set the SWG to is 6% because the IntelliPh won't run below that. When I test...

We just had an EasyTouch, Intelliflo, IntellipH, SCG, and new filter installed. The pump is an upgrade from a single speed. If I run the pump below 1350 RPMs, the blower on the heater kicks on, and I get the "lo" error message that usually means low water flow. This happens at less than 1350...

I finally got all my new equipment installed (Intelliflo VS, EasyTouch 8, Clean and Clear 420, IntellipH, IC-40, Intellibrite pool and spa light). I drained the pool due to the lights. Upon start up, I added liquid Chlorine, acid, salt, and Conditioner. This was last Sunday. I added enough...

I have 2 other topics posted about equipment and quotes. The installer looked at my heater and didn't say much about the placement of the cell, as if there's plenty of room. I'm posting a pic of the area around the heater due to what the install manual says for the IC-40. "The ICEG should...

Here's the first quote I received on the equipment upgrade we've been discussing here: equipment-upgrade-with-easy-touch-t50807.html Pentair EZTOUCH8 IC40 $1,601.00 CVA Actuator 100.00 Intelliflo VS3050 Pump 949.00 3-Port Jandy...

Ok folks. This may get a little long, but I'll try to keep it on point. I have a pool store working on a quote for an Intelliflo VS with Easy Touch 8 IC-40, along with 2 Intellibrites (spa and pool). I had originally asked for the intelliTouch, but he said I wouldn't need it. The wife wants...

I'm pretty sure I broke our pump last night. I turned it off, then turned it back on within a couple seconds without letting it spin down. If I try to turn on now, it juh What normally happens to the pump if this is done?

Background: Left for 60 days on temporary duty with military. Mom was in charge of the pool. Lots of yellow stuff on sides of the pool towards the end of my 60 days. Mom thought it was due to all the little yellow flowers blowing off the neighbors trees. When I got home, pool was pretty...

I've heated my 14k gallon pool with a Hayward H400 NG heater. I have about 70-75% of the pool covered with solar sun rings. The weather is about 50 degrees at night/75 degrees during the day. I have family in town for the week and want to be able to swim everyday. I like the pool to be above...

I'm guessing the water line stains are from the hard water. I used an old "PoolBlok" pumice stone on the 2 tiles in the first photo with the arrow. It helped, but once it was wet, I couldn't tell whether or not it was doing any good. Once it dried, you can see it helped. Using the pumice...

I moved into a rental home that we're in the process of purchasing. We have a pool with attached spa. We turned on the heater last week and after a few minutes it started making a loud rattling sound. It sounds like a bolt or something is trying to get through the system. I took the cover...

We just moved into a new house. I tested the water with my TF-100 kit. My results: 31 JAN: FC=8 CC=0 pH=7.8 TA=150 CYA=120-140 Hard to say exactly since scale starts at 100. CH=Need new reagent. 3 FEB: (from Leslie's) FC=4 PH=8 CYA=100 PHOS=300 TDS:1500 Here's what they told me: 1. Current...

My wife turned on the underwater pool light the other night, and it was really dim. I figured it was going bad, so we turned it off. The next night I turned it on, and it was bright again. After about 20 minutes (maybe), it went out completely. Today it still isn't working at all. I guess...

Hi. I drained my pool today to get a fresh start. We live in Las Vegas, and the pool is going into it's 4th season. We just moved into the house a few weeks ago, and this is my first pool. I went by the pool store today to buy a new brush and asked about the startup. She started rambling on...

Split off of this topic. JasonLion I was just told the same thing. I had my water tested at a near by pool store. The first thing they tested was TDS. Their meter only went to 2000 or 3000, but my water pegged out really fast. She said I needed to drain the pool. I live in North Las Vegas...
