Well I think my PLC1400 (just shy of 5 years old) is finally on its last leg... Showing error code 121 (low current in reverse direction to cell). A physical inspection of the inside of the cell does not reveal much... Very minor scaling if any and no damage that stands out... 3,300ppm salt in...

I have a 20K gallon salt water pool in Tampa, FL that is about 4.5 years old (original PLC1400). Recently I noticed some iron staining in the pool, so I brought FC down to 0.0ppm, pH down to 7.2ish and on 8/26/2023 added about 3lbs of ascorbic acid and added 2 quarts of Jack's Purple Magic. The...

Well I just did an ascorbic acid treatment on my pool and couldn't believe how clean it made. I didn't realize I had that level of staining. I noticed some slight yellowing the the pebble sheen, but didn't think it was really that bad. What made me do it in the first place was the yellowing...

I am really liking it so far (about 2 months in)... My pool is under a screened enclosure in Florida, so at most I get some dust/dirt that settles at the bottom of my pool. The Atlas XT combined with my DE filter does an awesome job of collecting that fine dirt and keeping my water crystal...

Just as the title states - I am having some serious trouble getting my DE (DicaLite filter powder) to dissolve/mix with pool water. The DE seems to have some strong hydrophobic properties. I'm talking like Magic Sand hydrophobic levels! I've always just dumped the DE powder right into the...

What do you guys think? Should if get a Hayward suction cleaner or a S200/Warrior SE/Active 20. The suction cleaner is half the cost and is what I have used in previously pools with out much complaint (although I've never had one in my current pool). These 'new' robot cleaners seem pretty...

Hey guys, I have my pool lights and landscape lights setup to both come on at dusk. I also have the 'Off Time' set for 10:00PM. They are different devices/relays/transformers - so I can control them separately if I want. My questions is, how can I have both lights come on at dusk, but the...

I fell like there is some 'interpretation' need with this test. Do you guys think I am at 40 or 50? Thanks!

About 5 weeks of having my new pool filled (SWCG just installed yesterday), and time to start really getting these parameters in check... But who do I go by? The recommendations vary so widely. PebbleTec - Document Link (page 4) pH: 7.2 - 7.6 Total Alkalinity: 70 - 100 PPM Calcium Hardness...

Hey Guys, I'm a little late at starting this thread, but better late than never... 20' x 40' pool (approx 20,000 gallons) with a 8' x 8' spa. 3' - 5.5' deep. White Pebble Sheen finish, blue glass tiles and ivory travertine coping and French pattern pavers. Bronze cage. -Jandy VS PLUSHP Pump...

Hey guys, What would be the best layout for 2 Skimmers and 4 Returns. See sketch below. I added the returns and skimmers, but not sure if those spots are ideal?

Hey guys, I will be building a new 20,000 gallon inground gunite salt water pool (PebbleSheen finish) with spa and 12" sun shelf in a few short weeks, and one of the features my wife was interested in was an umbrella sleeve in the sun shelf. Seems like a cool idea to me, but I am a little...
