About a year ago the third chlorine generator I've installed in my pool bit the dust. The pool was built in 2008. After reading how high Ph levels can shorten the life of chlorine generators I decided to really get serious about keeping it in check. I had been relying on my local pool store for...

I just got my Taylor K – 2006c test kit a few days ago. Very impressive, but I do have a question about the chlorine test if I may. In step 2 they tell you to add 2 dippers of R0870 until the sample turns pink, and to add more if the color disappears. I'm guessing the goal here is to have the...

I usually do a very good job of keeping everything well-balanced, but we have been getting downpours two and three times a week here in Houston for the last few months and it is just frustrating the devil out of me. My local pool store does a very good job of water analysis. I have been...

We see many daytime pictures, but no nighttime ones. So, I thought I would try and start something :D

I ask this because I have a BioGuard test kit and I'm running out Phenol Red, and it seems BioGuard is out of the test kit business. Pentair sells a 16oz bottle already with chlorine neutralizer in it for $11 and change on Amazon. The concentration of Phenol Red I have is.065%, as stated on the...

Quick background. About a month ago my Easy Touch salt reading went to 0 PPM. When I checked the cell the red salt light was on and the cell would not cycle. Cleaning it did nothing. In short it was dead. I installed a new IC40 about two weeks ago. The salt readings came back and everything was...

In late 2008 we bought a brand new house and built a brand new pool (our first) to go with it. Life was great, loved the pool, until about July 2009. By then taking a "refreshing" swim felt more like getting into a hot tub. I would actually start sweating being in it. By the end of July the...

We had our pool built in 2008 by Cypress Custom Pools. I think we saw at least 10 proposals before choosing them. The only thing we told each company was the budget and left the design up to them. We loved the way they integrated the shape of the pool with the contours of the house. Something no...

Hi ladies and gentlemen. I applogize, for this may be a rather long post. I'll keep it as short as possible but hope you'll read it and give me your input. About a week ago I figured it was time to clean my Pentair 60 DE filter. It had been a long time, and also the first time I personally had...

I hope someone can help me with this. I purchased and installed a new flow switch because all of a sudden my Intellichlor IC40 went from very accurately reading the salt levels to showing 0 PPM. Per Pentair's recommendation I clean Intellichlor every two months and had cleaned it about three...
