My son wants to switch out his trichlor based tablet feeder for a SWG after dealing with CYA levels that are now out of control. The pool is just over one year old. When he called his pool builder and inquired about making the switch, the builder replied: "Don't do it. You'll be sorry...

My son has a one year old 20K gallon pool with a Jandy Aqualink control center and a Nature-2, Fusion TriChlor tab chlorinator. Unfortunately, his weekly pool service company has been dropping trichlor tabs like candy into the feeder for one year now without considering climbing CYA levels, now...

I’m wondering how many of you have experience with heat pumps to heat a 18,000 gallon in-ground pool and 8 person spa. My current 11 year old Raypak 407 heater is nearing end of life, and - last year we installed 12KW solar system that’s generating almost double the amount of power we need -...

I have a 10-year-old Raypak 407 gas heater. Several months ago, I replaced the igniter and burners due to corrosion. While I had everything apart, I cleaned everything to make sure there was no sediment, leaves or dirt anywhere, either above the heat exchanger or below the burner tray. The rest...

My pool is ten years old. It was converted from tab feeder to salt (IC40) two years into its life. Overtime, a portion of the poured concrete pool coping below and way off to the side of the spa spillway has become deeply pitted. I run the spillway for 45 min each day, and I can never detect any...

One of my Pentair Quad 80 filters separated, the pleated filter material just gave way, sending a lot of fresh DE into the pool. I replaced all the cartridges (10 years old) and added about 8lbs (of the 12lbs recommended) and restarted the pump. My logic is that at least 4lbs of DE is When...

My Intellichlor SWG Is filling with large “plates” of scale every three weeks, forcing me to clean it about once a month. My pool chemistry is: FCL 2.21 TCL 2.21 PH 7.8 ALY 40 CH 240 TDS 3100 (about the same as the salt level) The scaling is so bad each time - covering the plates, I have to...

I have Pentair IntelliTouch system that controls my pool, spa, spillway, waterfall, lighting, fountains, etc. All working beautifully. However, the ONLY way (currently) to filter the water in the spa is either: - Turn ON spillway (returns to the pool) - Turn ON spa (returns to spa, but turns on...

Hi All, Had my pool installed back in April of 2011 and I've learned SO MUCH since then. I'm a "techie" and very handy/hands on and like to know everything about what makes things tick. My pool consists of: - 40' x 18' gunite pool with 8' adjacent spa, spillway and waterfall - PebbleTec finish...

I had a pool and spa built in April of 2011. The pool and spa shell is shotcrete with a PebbleTec plaster finish. When the pool was built, the builder specified a tri-chlor tab feeding system. After the pool was completed, he brought in his "startup" person who wired everything up and got...
