Light has been red showing low salt for a few days. Titration test was 3600, add a bag anyways to get it to 3800. Replaced flow control switch and it went green on startup, thought I actually fixed something. Next two days I go out there and it’s red again. Cell is only 4 years old and shows...

Hi there, my pool is almost 4 years old now (time flies!) and when I push the button in the intellibrite box to turn on the lights (which work both the pool and the spa light) neither turn on. No breakers are flipped or anything, but I have no idea what to look at. Is there some fuse in the...

Hey there, Been a while since I posted (which is a good thing, thanks to this forum!) I am on year two of my pool and managing the chemistry pretty well. My only issue is CH. THe first year it was pretty consistent around 475-550, as the initial fill was pretty hard well water. Eventually...

Hi there, seeing some funkiness in my FC levels and wanted to posts on here and get some advice. Normally I keep my FC around 5-6 consistently, and my IC-40 runs at 40% output during the summer. I can usually drop it to 20% with a longer run time in the winter and everything is all good...

Hi there, my pool is officially one year old and I’ve been using TFP techniques for the entire year. I’m in Central Florida so the rain related issues algae issues can be intense (as seen in friends pools) but my water has been clear all year, and as the title mentions, not a single dose of...

Hi there, I searched for this but couldn't find what I was looking for, so my apologies if this has been discussed at length, but I was curious why the recommendation for a SWCG is to run TA in the 60-80 range vs. the 80-120 commonly referred to by the manufacturer and pool finish companies...

Hi experts - I noticed a huge difference in my chlorine demand since raising my CYA to 80 according to the proper levels in the Chlorine/CYA chart. I just turned my SWCG on about 2 weeks ago, so I am trying to get it dialed in to keep my FC around 5-6 as per the chart. Background: When I...

Pool is about 45 days old and I just put in 13 bags of salt to get to 3600. I'm dead on according to my test kit. IC40 SWG lights are all green when pump is running. I have no automation or anything, so when my pump stops according to its schedule, the SWG flow light turns red (duh) and I get...

Hi everyone! I really wish I would have found this forum before I started up my pool. I can already tell I have done some things wrong based on what I found here in the Pool School --> New Startup thread. The background is I just built my pool (filled on 2/9) and GC’d it myself rather than...

Hey there, I'm Jamey, just built my pool and this forum looks like a great resource! I have so much to learn! I have 2 kids (8 and 10) and we're all super excited to jump in. Heading over to post in Getting Started, I GC'd this myself so I have some questions about startup since I have no...
