Our TruClear power pack is flashing between a few messages. First it shows “VerB1 Amer US English” (which is what it always shows when it powers on), then flashes to “Waiting…”, then flashes to “No flow”. And repeat. Yesterday it was only flashing “No flow” when we turned it on for the first...

The clock in the middle of the timer that keeps the current time has stopped working. So we need to replace it. Any recommendations for a SWG timer? Any good wi-fi timers? We need freeze protect. Thanks!

Update: OCLT showed no chlorine lost. I can’t keep my FC up. I raised my CYA to 80 and it didn’t help. I have to constantly add liquid bleach. CCs is .5. I run my pump for 9 hours a day and SWG at 50%. I usually run during the summer 8 hours a day at 30%. Salt level is 3,200. We replaced...

Over the last few years we’ve replaced several parts on it. Recently we replaced a few hose sections. It’s still not moving a lot. And definitely not climbing the walls. I have to basically close my skimmer and turn my pump up to get enough suction for it to move. It also gets jammed very...

Our unit is showing the ”check cell” message. According to the manual it means there’s an electrical problem. Anyone have experience with this message? Can we replace just the cell or do we need to replace the whole thing? Thanks!

Our paver pool deck gets extremely hot. Any recommendations for mats, rugs, etc?

For the past week or so I can't get my chlorine above 4. I raised my CYA to 80 and it doesn't seem to have helped. My SWG is set at 70% and I increased my pump run time to 10 hours a day. My pool is in full sun all day and it's been extremely hot here. Pool water is 90 degrees. Could that be...

My CH is 325. According to pool school, SWG pools should be 350-450. Should I raise mine or is the difference negligible? Thank you!

We run our pump 8 hours a day, with the generator at 70%. My chlorine is supposed to be at 5 and it's not happening. It's around 3-4. Should I increase pump time or bump up the %? Also, does it matter what speed I run the pump at? Right now we are running it at a high speed for the first 2...

How much are you paying for muriatic acid? I pay around $8 a gallon at Lowes. Seems high!

My chlorine was 2.5 yesterday, SWG was 30%. I bumped it up to 60%. Today it's still 2.5. My CYA is 70. I assume this could mean that there's not enough salt? We haven't added any since the PB added it in January. I don't have a salt test kit. Which one is better....Taylor drops kit or the...

I'm trying to plan for an upcoming week long vacation. We have a SWG but have been using bleach because of low temps. We just turned on the SWG today. I try to keep our chlorine around 8, per the CYA chart. Although I think I can drop that down 5 now that the SWG is on. I'm adding acid about...

It's a new pool and I have to add acid every day or every other day to lower the Ph. My alkalinity has now gone down to 50. My ph is currently 7.8, I added acid yesterday. Should I add baking soda and/or acid today? I'm not sure how to handle this since the baking soda will make my Ph go up...

Our freeze detector is running our variable speed pump on the highest speed all night. Yesterday around 10pm it was 44 degrees outside, and the freeze detector turned on the pump. Even though we have the detector set at 35 degrees. So we set the pump to run all night on a medium speed. I woke up...

I just got the TFTkit and did the first test this morning. Before this we were using the test kit the builder gave us. Chlorine 2 pH 8.2, added muriatic acid TA 70 CH 675, can that be right??? Is it so high because it's a new pool? CYA I couldn't really figure this one out, I could see the...

Our pool is new and we are trying to figure everything out. We have a freeze detector on our mechanical pump timer. This one: Buy Tork PFP1103-M 24 Hour Mechanical Swimming Pool Timer Mechanism Only with Freeze Protection online at Global Electrical Supply for $143.38 If the switch (on the far...

Our pool was finished 4 weeks ago. We've been reading a lot on TFP!
