It is not nicheless.

Just replaced one of my pool lights (color logic) and to say it was a bear is an understatement. The lights were installed when the pool was refurbished 6 years ago and the installer shoved some type of sealant, which turned rock hard, about a inch into the conduit. My question is do I really...

Tcarroll2, never was able to get it working so I returned it. Fortunately, after returning it, I found another one on eBay and I was able to connect it to the base unit without any problems. Good luck.

My next door neighbor just had a pool built and wanted to know who serviced my pool. When I told him I’ve been doing it since my pool was renovated nearly six years ago, using the TFP method, he looked a bit surprised. Seeing his reaction, I told him about TFP and showed him the app and...

Good to know…thanks.

So the drop from 26 to 15ppm over eight hours on a sunny hot day is not necessarily excessive? As the chlorine drops to the high single digits the loss should slow down significantly?

PH -7.8 Alk -70 Cya - 70 Ch -275 Salt - 3800 Also, SWG is off.

Tested water last night at 8pm and chlorine reading was 27. Tested this morning at 7am and reading was 26 and 0 cc and crystal clear water so passed the OCLT. Now from 7am to 2:30pm chlorine dropped to 15ppm. Is that excessive or expected? Weather is hot and sunny.

Thanks, Texas Splash. I didn’t realize there could be a big drop if slam chlorine levels were exceeded…learn something every day. We’ll try the OCLT tonight.

My sons pool was eating chlorine, so did a OCLT and from 8ppm at sundown dropped to 2ppm at sunrise. He started a slam and with a 70 cya set a 28ppm chlorine level and has been able to maintain that level with a lot of chlorine additions. For the past three days, the water has been very clear a...

OK…thanks again.

Was at my son’s house on Sunday and got a chance to check out your suggestions. First, the SunTouch is able to control the pump. Second, the cable is good and the connections were sprayed with an electric cleaner and also appears good. So that would leave the two com chips. Since the SWG is only...

Jim, relayed the info to my son and he told he cannot control the swg from the SunTouch. Appreciate any additional advice you can provide.

Thanks Jim.

My son has a Pentair sun touch controller, IC40 SWG, manufacture date 8/09/22 with external power supply. The cell is producing chlorine and functioning normally with all lights steady green. The external power supply has a green light on the circuit board. The problem is the sun touch...

The sides of the cage that are NOT attached to the house should also have cables that are attached to the top side corner of the cage and come down at a 45 degree angle and secured into the concrete. Make sure those are anchored into the concrete and not the pavers with tapcons. If your cage...

That’s great, thanks for the quick reply.

My son has a pentair suntouch system and an IC 20 that has bit the dust and he wants to upgrade to an IC40. I looked through the manual but I can’t find any info if this can be done with the existing equipment/power center. So 1, can he do this and 2, does he need to change any system settings...

Tried that initially since this has been a reoccurring renewal problem. Tried it again and now seems to be OK. Hopefully, that solved the problem. Thanks for the prompt suggestion.

It seems every renewal, pool math doesn’t update my subscription renewal. Payment for the next year was charged by Apple on 11/2/22. The app showed my expiration on 11/15/22. I’m now locked out. Why does this continue to happen…very frustrating.

I had the older model, AQL-SS-RF, and it went bad. I kept watching eBay and took about 4-6 weeks but finally found one for $75 including shipping. The seller guaranteed it and it looked like new when I received it, put the batteries in and went into settings menu to teach wireless and low and...

That’s what I was looking for…thanks

Thanks, but let’s say the evaporation was a foot or more, what would the affect be?

Weather forecast is showing no rain for next 10 days. What are the effects of evaporation on pool chemicals if no rain and no fill water is added. I believe, for example, that the salt ppm would be higher. But what about all the rest i.e, chlorine, ph, alkalinity, cya and calcium hardness?

Our christmas palm is about 15” from the pool edge. We’ve had a Christmas palm in this spot for about 15 years. This one is only in about a year as the first one grew too tall and was hitting the top of the pool cage. Both palms have thrived in this location and you are correct, little to no...

That worked, all good. Thanks for the help.

Hang on. Just noticed on 5g. Reset router. We had a power outage last night, waiting for router to reset.
