Marty - thank you again. I am picking up pretty quickly. I have a timer now that the VS is plugged into however the timer runs 7x24 and I allow the Pentair to run the integrated timer. I could split the power in from the timer giving a dedicated line to the Pentair and use the timer for the...

Thanks Marty - updated signature. Thought it was in there Pentair 011018 IntelliFlo

Ok, I am out of bleach, season is upon us, kids are locked up and.... the list can go on! Suggestions on where to start and what is the best for the overall money spent? understood everyone will have their opinions so not attempting to start a deep conversation.

Finally got a break in the weather and installed the new 011018 today. Super quite WOW! Now I need assistance from the math guru's. The pool is ~13,000-14,000 and with the pump set @ 1050 rpm the FlowVis meter on the return side (after the filter) is registering ~30GPM. So, at this rate (if...

Thanks for the input Jim! I am pretty sure this pump is the culprit, perhaps not solely responsibly but certainly playing its part. Regardless, spending a bit to run 24/7 for ~$20 sounds GREAT! Matt -

Going into the 3rd summer of ownership of a pool. I think the original owner just signed on the dotted line and move forward. Our electricity bill is constantly high and I believe the route-cause is the pump. Net:Net I have it in my mind to change out the pump. The pool is ~13,000-14,000...

How hot is too hot to test? I thought I read temp played a key in getting accurate test as well.

Good question - the drain is currently facing away. Turning the unit will force the drain to fact the pump motor.

Three weeks into managing the pool myself, thanks TFP, I am ready to install a Stenner 15 gallon tank & pump and make things a bit easier. What i would like to do is remove the Fusion 2 and turn the Jandy 460 around (180 Degrees). If i do this i should be able to move it over giving enough room...

Thanks to the great members of this forum. My pool is balanced as of now so on to figuring the daily diet of chlorine.

Added chlorine just under a gallon last night, it rained a good amount and bubbles are gone!

Thanks Joufulnoise I will give it throughout today and see where it stands -

calcium hardness was at 250 -

Thanks for the early morning confidence builder! Today makes Day Two for a pool full of foam. I was hopeful to raise PH without adding more borax and let it come up with with aeration but this appears to be catalyst in bubble making.

And perhaps the mystery is solved! I picked up bleach at Walmart and focused on making sure not to get "scented" or "extra whiting" but didn't know about splashless. So, splashless bleach means bubbles and the fix for this is?

Ok, I am a week into a complete refill and balancing. Everything seems pretty good but I have bubbles. Daughter's birthday pool party next Saturday so I have a week to solve. CYA -30 (I know/understand I will need to bring this up for Texas summer but wanted to keep it low for SLAM if...

Following too - I need to replace our mastic soon

Tagging in on this thread Is a 50' run with the santoprene tubing ok or should it be a hardline if one wanted to run this far?

I went through this last year when the original owners Polaris died. After a couple of weeks of research...review reading, I didn't know right from wrong here.. Dolphin Triton Plus - is what settled on: 1) top loading was a requirement 2) cart was a requirement - though it spends a lot of time...

Looks great!

Thanks for the feedback! And thanks for the great forum! Members seem to be the best out there unlike so many other forums. Headed to HD first thing in the morning. As for chlorine I have a significant area that is shaded all day! I have a pump on order and have a connection for bulk bleach...

Have a k-2006c test kit - I thought the PH was high too. Tested twice and it was above 8 both times. Same for TA - Recommendations on lowing PH Liquid Acid (muriatic acid) or Dry Acid -Clorox PH Down (or other brands)

~14,500 gallon pool that sees morning sun to early afternoon ~4pm or so. Pool was self maintained by previous owner and then last year by a "professional" crew. This year I am in control - First test CYA was off the chart. I dumped just about 13k gallons or so. Fresh water added and here...

We purchased a house with a pool! Congrats to us! Ok, really this is our 2nd summer but first that we will care for it ourselves. Up to this point we have had a service taking care of it for us. I purchased a ColorQ and began testing last week. CYA continue to read "HI" so my research and...
