Our SWG quit working and we found out that this amp, I think it's called, needs to be changed (the bottom grey one). It won't reset when my husband tries to flip it. My husband is an electrician, and has wired many a house, but he doesn't know low voltage. He's hoping someone on here can give...

While I think this app looks nicer and might be good for someone with other things to control, I'm finding it difficult to navigate. I cannot find how to change the speed of my waterfall. Anyone know how to do it?

When I woke up this morning I heard something from the backyard. I went out and found my spa empty. Why would it randomly empty? We did have a power outage on Sunday so I needed to reconnect it to wifi, which I did while the spa was refilling. I wouldn't think that would make the spa empty...

I saw an ad for it on Facebook and it looks pretty nifty. I wouldn't want to clean my whole pool with it but would be good for those spots the robot misses or in the spa. This looks way more convenient than hauling out the big hose. But does it work is my question 🤔?

I’m trying to decide if I should up my percentage setting for a shorter period of time or keep it lower and run the pump all day or does it matter? I’ve been running it for 12 hrs a day and that was fine for winter, but I’m needing to up it now. Last summer I ran it 24/7 and it worked but our...

I was scrolling thru Facebook and saw this ad for a robot skimmer thing. That water is disgusting! You can barely see the step markers and definitely not the drain. This is an ad 👎🏻?!?

I wanted to order the thing that gets just the right amount of water to test but I can't find it on the website and cannot remember the name of it. Any ideas?

We were cleaning our salt cell last weekend with diluted acid. I know it's not advised but we couldn't reach the calcium deposits to scrape off. After it was done I didn't know what to do with the acid. I didn't think it was good to put in the pool since it had just cleaned off calcium so I...

You know the white piece that screws into the pipe to make the aerator like a sprinkler? I have no idea what that's called. Anyway, so they come in different radiuses? The placement of ours makes it spray all over the deck because it's back in a curve. I don't like the idea of all that salt...

On our app, the chemistry part isn't showing up. Everything else seems to be there. The salt cell has all green lights on so it looks like it's working. It's like this on mine and my husband's phones. Any ideas?

I’ve watched videos about how to clean it but I have a question about the acid. If we have 14% MA, do we need to dilute it or is it fine as is? Or do we really need the 31%?

We had to drain our pool and since we refilled it the water level has been about an inch low. We have a water leveler but it must have gotten out of whack when we emptied it. My husband tried lifting it up but that did nothing. Is there a way to get it to the correct level?

Has anyone added a water softener outside by your equipment just for your pool! We have one but it would be very difficult to get the lines run to the pool equipment. Our CH crept up pretty quickly and I don’t like worrying about it getting out of control.

We just refilled our pool and need to put more salt in. What do I need to look for when buying it? Is there a specific brand thats’s best or one to stay away from?

Is there a place in PoolMath to record that you drained and refilled the pool? The closest thing I could find was opening and closing the pool. I chose opening the pool but I don’t think that’s right. Am I missing something?

The last time I bought CYA at Lowe’s it cost $20. We’ve only had our pool since February so it wasn’t that long ago. I bought some today and it was $28 😱. That is a HUGE jump. 👎🏻

We had a few issues with our plaster after it was done in the spring. One being a chunk came out in the spa bench. We also found some really rough areas in the pool once it was warm enough and we could finally get in. We decided with our plaster company to wait until fall to fix it so we...

I needed CYA and I couldn't find it at my usual places so we went to Leslie's. When we walked in a man asked what we needed and I said CYA. He said, why? Most people try to avoid it. I had 2 men staring at me like I was crazy. I said we have a SWG. Then they seemed OK with it. I thought it was...

We have a Dolphin S200. We were running it today and when I went out later I found this in the pool. Does this go in our robot? We couldn't figure out where but not sure where else it would have come from.

Is this the correct blue color? I realized I've been doing it wrong after reading posts on here about it. I was reading it at purple. So I went to blue this time and my number went way up to 725. At what level should we drain it? Is draining the only way to get the CH level down? We've only had...

The other day we had to do a firmware update on our Intellicenter. Did everyone have to do this? How often does this happen? It gave us a “must do by” date. What would have happened if we didn’t update it by then?

I think I have a rust spot. I know rubbing a vitamin c tablet on it will get rid of it if it is. I’m wondering if it needs to be a certain kind. I’m assuming just the kind you would take and not something special for pools. I have the kind you swallow from Sam’s Club. Will this work? And does it...

I was reading a post where someone was cleaning theirs and was wondering how often we should plan on doing that and how do you know when you need to?

Neither my husband or I paid any attention to what our pressure was at when the pool was new so we have no idea what to look for to know when we should clean it. Are there signs to watch for other than pressure? Our pool was finished in February. How often should we expect to clean it?

We were in the pool today and noticed the grout is starting to get dirty above the water line. We want to clean it before it gets bad. What do you recommend?

We had a huge storm last night and I found a Baja step full of worms this morning 🤢. Didn't have them after our big storms a couple weeks ago. I'm assuming to just let the robot get them? I brushed them into the pool and my husband tried to skim some of them but that wasn't working very well. Do...

Wondering what everyone named their robot. Ours is Pumba. I think of it as a pool roomba so we combined the two words 😊. We're a Disney family so it fits 😉.

I’m a bit confused about these 2 things. I read in people’s recommendations about changing your salt output to a certain ppm but the only setting I see for my IC40 is a percentage. Does mine have a ppm setting that I haven’t found on the app that I really need to check? Or is that for a...

I don’t do all of them each time I test but I’m wondering if I should be doing some of them more often. I don’t remember seeing that in Pool School but I could have missed it.

We bought a clock at Lowe’s for out by the pool. We just put a nail in the side of the house and hung it up. We just had a big wind come thru and I heard it crash to the ground at 12:30am 😒. We obviously need a different kind of clock, one that attaches better or won’t break, but I don’t want...
