I have a 7x7 spa and I use my Dolphin to clean it up. It usually takes about 30 minutes to do, but I don't have too much debris in there. Sometimes, it misses the corners, but not a big deal. I have a neighbor's oak tree that overhangs my fence line. Before I started using my Dolphin, I just...

I have a 30 gallon stenner tank/pump that I use. I got it on sale for the same price as a 15 gallon system. It's nice to have the tank high, so I don't have to bend over to add chlorine. My system is hardwired into my sub-panel and I use the IAqualink to adjust my times. I usually keep less...

Yes, but I can not push it straight in. I turn it around and push in backwards since the caddy bar is tall. That deck box is sloped and is taller at the back than the front.

I keep mine in a deck box - https://www.keter.com/en/store-it-out-midi. I store the Dolphin on one half and other pool equipment/stuff on the other side. This one was ok, but the hinge broke on one side after a couple of years. I still use it since it's still functional. I will get a bigger...

Agree. The only time I add shock is right before a hurricane or tropical storm. My CYA is low enough that adding shock won't affect much and I like to over chlorinate if I get excessive rain.

Mine went down last night also, but it reconnected later on. You can still control your pool from your control box. I just put it in service mode and turn on the equipment that way. I turned on the spa and bubblers that way. I have all my buttons labeled too, so no second guessing .

The line is plumbed directly into the pool like other fill lines. It was done by my builder. The sprinkler guy tied into the line when he was finishing his work and just added an extra zone.

Have you thought about adding a dedicated zone to your sprinkler system that will add water to your pool? When I had my pool built, I looked at an autofill but decided against it. My sprinkler guy added a dedicated zone for me and I updated my Rainbird controller to a Rachio controller. I use...

I don't have an auto-fill on my pool; however, I have a dedicated sprinkler zone for my pool fill. The zone is downstream of the back-flow preventer of the sprinkler system. The sprinkler controller I used was the Rachio Wi-Fi controller. My PB replaced the old Rainbird controller with the...

iamtexmax - Don't get discouraged. This is an easy fix. I'm not sure how far along you are with your pool build, but if you can be at home when the electrician/plumber is there, they can do it easily for some cash - maybe $20 each. I'm not familiar with Pentair Easy Touch 4, but you need to...

Blowout - Yes, that is a blower for the spa. It goes up on the pipe next to it with the cap. This picture was taken before everything was completed. The 30 gallon Stenner tank is nice. When I bought it, it was on sale for the same price as a 15 gallon tank. That tank is a beast and is huge...

I'm not sure what your PB is talking about with the Pentair and Stenner compatibility. It makes no sense at all. I have an IAqualink for my automation, but all Pentair equipment. My PB installed my Stenner directly into a relay of the IAqualink box. Everything works fine. Here is a picture...

Your pool looks fantastic. I'm in Katy also and Modern Methods did my pebble. They did a great job for me. I stayed home that day to watch and make sure they had everything correct. A lot of the crews here work on 2 pools a day and they load up plaster, quartz and pebble in the morning, so...

My PB tried that for me too and it did not work. I'm not sure of the specifics, but I think the board is not compatible. It was either WiFi or PDA, not both. I chose the WiFi route and have no regrets.

I live in Katy and used Mystic Blue Pools Swimming Pool Builder Houston. I highly recommend them. You can PM me for additional information and pictures. I went through the bid process with 5 or 6 different companies and ended up using them. My build was done in 4 weeks and no issues or drama.

How do you import data into the app? I exported the data from the beta test onto icloud. I went in and hit the log button, went through and paid for the subscription, but cannot restore existing. I'm also, trying to log new data and it asks me to subscribe / restore existing. If, I buy I get...

I live in Katy and I use the HEB Bravo brand also and have not had any issues. The only thing that I would check is the CYA level. When my CYA level dropped below 30, the chlorine was disappearing quickly. Once I bumped that up, it was more consistent. Right now, I lose about 2.5 ppm a day.

This app is great. I have been logging my tests in a notebook, so I transferred it to the app last night. I use the IOS version. One thing I did notice was that the app did not record the correct time and possibly date. The time for sure, I would set it at 8:00 AM and when I look at it...

Yep, whatever was alive is dead many times over. I lowered my FC to 24 last night and it was the same this morning. I'll let the Texas sun do the rest.

This morning, I was planning on adding enough bleach to raise my FC up by 1 ppm. Based on PoolMath and my 22 gpd Stenner, it was 13 minutes. I turned the Stenner on and I'm not sure what happened, but the pump never turned off. I have my Stenner tied to my IAqualink and used it to turn on. I...

If you are still under construction, I would have the pool builder add a tee/plug on the vertical run downstream of your chlorinator. You can remove the plug and add your injection point there. I have a similar setup and I use the pucks to bring up my CYA levels using the chlorinator, but for...

You might not have toggled the valve on the inside of the unit. Take a look at this link http://www.pentairpool.com/pdfs/MasterTempOM.pdf and go to page 34 of the manual. You have to open up the panel to get to the switch.
