Over the past few weeks I’ve been dealing with an issue with keeping my FC levels consistent. During the summer, I had no issues keeping our FC ~7.5 with a setting that added ~2.0 per day. This was with > 90 degree temps, direct sun, and almost daily rainstorms here in Central FL. However, for...

I’ve been using liquid stabilizer for most of the past six months since our pool was completed. I’m perhaps the least patient person in the world, so have found it much easier and have been willing to stomach the increased cost. That said, I’m trying to get a sense for how much addition is...

After six months of waiting that included three re-makes until our builder got them right, we’ve finally got our water bowls installed. My question now is how often does everyone run theirs daily? Trying to balance not running too often and increase pH with not letting the water get stagnant...

Hey all. I’ve been dealing with what I assume is scale buildup under our granite spillover for a while now. I had the builder clean it up about a month ago when they fixed the grout line, but it is back with a vengeance. Any ideas on how to clean it up and maybe prevent it from recurring? My CSI...

Is there a trick to removing the jet assemblies like the one pictured below? I think there’s some construction debris or plaster in the pipe behind it and want to remove it to see if I can flush it out. I’ve tried unscrewing it and that doesn’t seem to be the answer. (No, I don’t drain the spa...

Is there any risk or downside in bypassing the heater (either entirely or partially) other than when it is being used? Given how restrictive it is, i figured it’d be nice to let the pump work a little easier if it’s not going to hurt anything. The pump’s power usage with it even 50% bypassed is...

Hi all. Wanted to get your opinions on how much acid my pool is taking to keep the pH in line. I’ve had to add 2 gallons over the past month, or about a cup a day. With each addition I take it to 7.6. The pool is new, with the plaster done in late March. The only material aeration it gets is via...

My builder was out yesterday to prepare the pool for final inspection with the county. I was at work, and the only reason I noticed was that I happened to open the ScreenLogic app and saw a max pressure warning from the pump because it was running at near full speed. I called him and he let me...

I’m about 45 days into maintaining our new pool, and things are going well so far. Really gotten the hang of testing everything and adding acid, etc. when needed. We’re going to be out of town for four days soon, which is going to be the first time I’ve been away and unable to maintain the...

Have a question for everyone on the best way to set up the spillover function on the spa. Our builder insists that we must have the spa circulating any time the pool is running, so they would not install the automatic valve any way other than with the "off" setting of the spillover actually...

Hi all. Our new pool was just completed in March and I’ve been leaning on these forums quite a bit to make sure everything is running smoothly. Had something happen this evening that I wanted to bounce off the experts. We were using the spa and after 30 minutes or so, the pump shut off and...
