Ok first off, it's easier to just post all my pics here: PHOTOS: iCloud Photo Sharing Here's the Mfr's info: Aquabot Icon Xi - Pricing, Features, & Manuals | Aquabot http://www.aquabot.com/PageFiles/2355/2015_IconXi_SellSheet_web_MSS0054.pdf Overall, I'm thrilled with the packaging, and...

Hi, I've had my pool ~5 years now, and this year I am testing it after doing some maintenance and cleaning the filters, etc... I've never had any problems with it, and not once have had algae pop up (I'm quite proud of that!). I use the CL tabs, of course, and so I know my CYA levels are really...

Hey folks - I had a pool built about 15 months ago and it has been going great except I've started to notice what I believe to be Chlorine stains on the limestone surface of my raised beam. I'm pretty confident it is a stain and chemical related because I've sprayed it with a 50/50 Bleach/Water...

I've had my new in-ground pool running now since February. We had no problems with it but at some point in maybe July, we had run out of Chlorine for possible a day or slightly more. We saw some algae forming around the waterfalls and a little bit below the water in the plaster. No big deal, we...

We had some heavy rains yesterday, and our pool gained about 3" of water. It's 10K gallons, btw. After the rains subsided, we got outside and found the water was murky and green.. We noticed some of our mulch had run into the pool with our water and was on the bottom, but the Polaris and...

I don't know what is going on here, but my pH won't go down! It was around 7.8 and I did the acid demand test and it told me 1.5 cups, so I put that in, maybe even a tad more, and the next day, about 20 hours later, it is still at 7.8.. What gives?? TA is about 120ppm.. FC is about 2.5 or 3...

I'm not sure I can believe this, but everyone seems to indicate the LaMotte test is quite accurate... In any event, the kit showed up the other day and I tested it out - It shows 25ppm roughly.. I'm really surprised, as I have "done the borates thing" yet and I'm already half way there...

This may be specific to my equipment, but it's all electricity in the end, right? On my power center, I have an AUX port which hooks into a Jandy Relay. The Relay has 4 posts. I think 2 are for one thing and 2 can be for another. Of the 2, 1 is for the power SOURCE and 1 is for the power...

I just had my pool finished, and my spa was leaking from day 1. They were troubleshooting it for a while, and we finally found two leaks, one around a Jet, one around the light housing. The super came out and fixed it with putty and flat-out told me this is not permanent. Then the plaster sub...

The PB came back yesterday to sand my coping because it was so dirty, and that was the last "finishing touch" they had remaining on my 4-week old (new) 10KGal pool/spa. I knew it was going to make a mess (limestone dust EVERYWHERE) and indeed it did. I had my filter off when they sanded, and...

So, my PB came back today and they sanded down my coping and did some powerwashing to clean up. They're finally done!! :) BUT, now my pool has a bunch of white limestone powder all throughout it. I can't even see the bottom in fact. My PB told me he would try to come back tomorrow or next...

First off, no comments about BBB or Liquid Chlorine... :) I know Trichlor adds CYA but I need that right now - my CYA is low as this is a brand new pool. ANYWAYS, how does this Rainbow thing work? I read the manual and it was no help. Fundamentally, what I'm trying to get my hands around is...

This may be a dumb question, but when would I need/want to shock my pool with high amounts of CL?? Is the answer: When I set green things floating or a tinge of green in the water ?? In the summer, someone on here said they shock once a week... EEEK!!

I just did my OTO test for TA (Total Alkalinity) and I added 3 #3 drops to get it to light yellow. The fourth did nothing more, so I guess the result is 3. That means 3 x 10ppm = 30ppm according to the chart and instructions. But does this mean my TA is LOW or HIGH??? I mean, do I have 30ppm...
