I've been doing some reading in the forums, but want to be clear on what I need to do during the winter months as far as my IC-60 goes. We live in East Texas, so we don't have super harsh winters. The PB has instructed me a bit on what to do with the plumbing during a freeze, but as far as...

So we are about 2 months in to owning a brand new pool, just converted to salt not long ago. Pump stopped working the other nigh, and prior to that we had received a couple of the email alerts saying that the communications cable was not communicating between the pump and the Intellicenter. We...

We just converted to salt water 2 days ago. I have been looking at Intellicenter giving me a salt ppm number from the probe that's with the IC60 I assume. That number doesn't jive with the test I just did this evening. My test with my salt pro test kit was 3400 ppm. We tested the water prior to...

Good afternoon, So we just added salt to our pool today, and the PB came out and turned on the IC-60 SWG, and I have questions, because he didn't bring any knowledge about it at all really. So it powered up fine, did its testing, etc but he has it set on the IC-60 itself at 100% output. He said...

So we have had our pool for roughly 30 days, and are supposed to convert to salt tomorrow (Monday the 21st). I am trying to get my pool balanced correctly before we start this process, etc. We have been having a hard time getting our FC correct. We have been brushing the pool per PB...

We convert to salt on Monday, and I saw a comment on here from a couple of years ago about Aqua Salt. The poster made the comment that they did not like Aqua Salt brand because it had "mystery stain inhibitors" in it. My PB has brought a bunch of bags of Aqua Salt over for us to use on Monday...

I have been doing some digging on here about the RPM/GPM for this pump. The PB has put it at the following settings. From what I have read we want to run at the lowest speed possible to be able to still skim, run SWG, etc. but I'm trying to follow up behind them and see if this is where we...

This is a cheat sheet I am working on for my wife and I to refer to. We are new pool owners, and in less than 30 days will convert to salt. As far as general thoughts on when to test, ideal targets, etc. what do you guys think of this? I can add or take away, change whatever. Just looking to...

I was searching around and saw a few threads relating to this, but some were never fully answered. I have a brand new pool that will be going to salt in 29 days. I had clean water trucked in to fill the pool and spa. My fill line for the auto-leveler for the pool comes from my city water...

Well, I have the salt water testing kit from tftest kits. We got water in the pool today. PC put in sequestrant and some liquid chlorine, 3/4 of a standard jug. The pump has been running for several hours. I did a FAS/DPD test (twice) and the water never changed, indicating zero chlorine. I did...

Should/can the FAS/DPD test be done using the magnetic stirrer, or just swirling by hand? New pool owner with water going in today. Thanks.

Going to start my thread with pictures from our journey so far since we are almost at the end if the construction phase. I will add pics in small groups, with descriptions. This is a 22,000 gallon salt water pool being built in East Texas on the side of a hill. We are having to build up a good...

New pool owner here. Water goes in pool on Friday. The pool builder has added a PowerClean TAB Ultra in-line chlorinator in our plumbing, but we also have an Intellichlor SWG. Is the powerclean needed here? I guess I am confused as to why that is included in the plumbing. I would appreciate any...

Our pool (outdoor) is almost completed, water goes in on Friday. I am at work and was making some notes to get ready for everything I will have to learn (we are first time pool owners). I was just reading this in the UV description: "UV, in combination with a sanitizer, is very nice for use...

There is lots of information to go through on the forums, and I am just getting started. We should be filling our pool in a couple of weeks after the pebble tec is put in. I am having pool water trucked in because we live way out in the country, and our city water comes from a well and is iron...

Hello everyone! A coworker suggested this site as a valuable resource, so here I am! We currently are waiting on our pool to be finished. This will be a saltwater pool and we will have a salt water spa as well (stand alone). I am looking forward to browsing around here to see all this...
