Troubleshooting my Pentair IC40 SWG which has constant RED NO FLOW light. Acid cleaning didn't help and there wasn't much buildup anyway. Began to think the flow switch was bad. Found a thread elsewhere that said to short the RED and BLACK wires going to the IC40 to confirm flow switch is bad...

I've successfully done the CYA test on the AGP at my previous house many times. I have a new house with a salt water pool now and can't seem to get this test to work. When I first tried it 5 months ago I got a 0 CYA reading. I took a sample to the pool store and they told me the CYA was 75. I...

Is there a good post I can refer to that will help me figure out how to properly prime my pump to get it going again. Today I cleaned the cartridge filters on the pool at the house we moved into 2 months ago. The only instructions I have are from the pump manual left by the previous owner. I...

Readings before any chems added: FC=0 CC=0 PH=7.2 TA=140 CYA=0 (I think it may really be 0 because the liner leaks and I've had to fill several times over the off season) This is my first opening after converting from Baquacil to BBB last season. The cover kept most of the junk out but it's...

Began yesterday around 6pm. Have been monitoring the FC frequently trying to maintain 15 ppm. So far I have gone through just over 13 gals of bleach. People at Wally-Mart are freakin' out over the quantity of bleach I've been buying. Have backwashed several times with quite a bit of yellowish...

Have been reviewing the info here and have decided to take the plunge to the BBB method from Baquacil. Wish me luck! I've read the conversion process posts and other related posts but I'll probably need some help from one of the forum experts down the road. Just ordered the TF-100XL and plan to...
