    Why is this not simple???

    Can someone tell me if I have lost my mind? I cannot get my jandy valve to turn so that I can cut off main bottom drain and only have the skimmer pulling water. Is there a trick to this???

    Pentair Intellichlor IC40 Question

    I have the Pentair easytouch control panel and am confused as to what the following means. Note, I only have a pool, no spa. Under the settings, intelliclr, what does pool mode mean? It was defaulted to 50% but after I read the manual, seems like I should have it at 100% as I do not have a...

    Salt testing

    Just converted over to salt, do i still test chlorine and PH daily? Salt test will just be when salt gets low? Also, does it just take a few days to know what setting works to keep levels constant?

    Just Curious About Testing

    Why do the instructions say to wipe the tip of the bottle each drop? All the others Don't. Also, does it really matter if ur water is on the 10 ML line or the bubble of the water?? Do the water amounts need to be that precise???

    SWG Better?

    It includes the Pentair cell and the easy touch automation. That comes with a built in timer and freeze protection. Does that sound better or not?

    New pool build, need to decide on CWG, I have been adding bleach daily for about 2 months now. Not that bad, I just have to stay on top of it. Is the SWG worth the 2k price? Can someone give me an overview of what you have to do with it, ex. add salt how often, test any water? etc? I get my...

    Acid Demand Test

    ah, I have problems looking at the colors for PH and determining where they are on the scale. Would this be something that would help me? I never hardly use the CL side of my test kit because I am not good with determining the color. I use my powder daily to test for now as I still am new to...

    Once u get ur TA, PH, AND CH within range, do all u need to do then is just manage ur FC? What I am trying to say is do things eventually balance out so that u are not decreasing PH, raising TA......

    Pool Math App

    When the app says add 2 quarts by volume of chlorine, does this mean only 2 quarts or does the "by volume" mean I need to multiply something?

    Pool Perfect

    We are just finalizing our pool build. We are deciding on if we want to get salt or not. They're almost finished. But, they said there are other ways to to reduce your chlorine usage other than Salt. Then they told me about enzymes. I asked specifically would your chlorine stay between 3 and 4...

    Pool Perfect

    I was told today by the pool store that using pool perfect could help lower your chlorine usage. Is that true? Dude said that you don't have to add as much chlorine overtime.
