    Pentair IC60

    Rising Ph

    Since turning the SWG on I have notice I go through roughly a gallon of acid per week to keep the Ph in range. Prior to the SWG I maybe used 1/4 gallon. Is this normal? All of my other levels are spot on. Thanks.

    Pebble Picture Thread

    I have been searching for hours for "real" pictures of different pebble finishes and still have more searching to go. So I thought it might be a good idea to create a thread where everyone could post pictures of their finished pools with their pebble finish in the description. Hopefully this...
