Thanks for the response..... My easytouch remote FCC ID is P4easytouch2A. I pulled the cover off of the transceiver (antennae) and did not see any LEDs lighting up. I went to the control panel, went into the menu, settings, wireless to send a signal and attempt to pair the system with the...

I have a Pentair Easytouch (8) control system with the Easytouch Wireless Remote that is not connecting to the control panel and reading 'No Comm'. It started to loose connection with the panel last weekend. I was able to reconnect the remote two times by doing the following: - Power down the...

Regarding the stone: flagstone in Texas is sourced from Oklahoma. Know several people who have salt water pools with flagstone and have issues with it pitting/corrosion on the coping. Issue seems to be valid.

Recent water test at the pool store indicated high dissolved solids (3200) and they recommended draining some water to reduce. Pool store manager indicated it was due to high sodium (salt) since I primarily use liquid bleach as my source for chlorine. Recent test results: FC 3, pH 7.8, CYA...

I tested the water a few hours ago. I tested the pool and the spa, and they were identical (makes sense since a large portion of the return water enters the hot tup and spills over into the pool during normal circulation mode for 6-8 hrs/day). We don't use the spa that much - average 1 to 2...

My hot tub/spa has a white water line residue (calcium?) deposit and I am looking for recommendations on how to clean it off. I have used muratic acid in the past with little success. The spa is always at a constant level as it has a spillover to the pool. Normal pump operation returns a...

I was looking over my annual expenses; noticed that my average cost for pool supplies (primarily chlorine, acid, calcium, filter DE, as well as minor items such as polaris tail sweep replacements, test kit refills, grout brush, etc.) was around $50 per month. This is for a pool/spa ~ 30,000...

I have a DE filter with a backwash drain line plumbed to a sewer drain (e.g., with air gap on the DE drain line). The drain line has a sight glass (e.g., `1" clear plastic bulb installed in the PVC to see debris in water while backwashing). The sight glass is located right after the backwash...

I am planning a vacation and will be away for 7 days. What are recommendations for how to prep. the pool before I leave to ensure the pool is in good shape when I return? My pool is in south Texas, gets full sun, and circulates for about 8 hrs per day. I am using 12% liquid bleach to...

Why does the TF 100 procedure use 10ml of water vs 25? I assume the test yields similar results but may be a little less accurate since it uses a smaller test sample. This also has the benefit of using less reagent, which saves a little. Is that an accurate assessment? Thanks!

I have a TF 100 test kit as well as a Taylor kit that came with my pool. I use the TF 100 as my primary test kit based on reading this site. Question: Is the Taylor R-0013 reagent the same as the TF 100 R-0013? The Taylor instructions indicate the test bottle is filled with 7ml of water and...

I am looking for recommendations or feedback on the idea of using a pool fountain in the morning to cool my pool. I would like a temporary type fountain that I temporarily plug into my pressure cleaning port where my Polaris 280 line normally plugs into. I have a Pentair 'boost rite' booster...

My recent test readings are shown below. The pool is approximately 6 months old; my setup is shown in my signature. FC: 4 pH: 7.8 TA: 70 CH: 225 CYA: 30 My CH was consistently reading 250 for several months; I suspect that recent rains and pool use have displaced water thus dropping CH...

Yes, I have the Pentair Easytouch, and revise the program accordingly. i might look into the metering pump set up. I can't use a SWG as I have a lot of natural flagstone. They source most of the stone from Oklahoma where I am located and it is not very resilient to salt water. Thanks!

Thanks! Signature updated! :cool: I have a spillway from the spa that runs approx. 8hrs per day; sheer descents only come on when manually turned on. I am currently using a combination of liquid bleach with chlorine tabs. The pool is relatively new, so I assumed my CYA would naturally go up as...

I am a new pool owner and have been using the TFP test kit to monitor and manage my water. I have an inground, pebblesheen (plaster) pool with a volume of approximately 27,500 gallons. I test my pool weekly and it reflects a ph of 7.8. I am using the pool math app which recommends that I...
