I have been searching through the forums and online and am trying to find a good place to buy pool chemicals and testing supplies online. Right now I specifically need R-0871 FAS_DPD Titrating Agent for Taylor Chlorine test, as well as come Calcium Chloride to raise my calcium levels a bit. I...

I tried to reply to the existing threat Alexa Skill is gone but that one is closed for some reason. Anyways..... It is now published again on Amazon.com as an available skill! Be sure to read the command examples on the skill page, as the syntax has changed a bit. You have to say "Pentair...

I found post about The Zero Alk Bath in the "Deep End" forum. Which appears to just be a copy/paste from another guy's website. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is this a legitimate request or are they just trying to get out of fixing their problem! I had abalone added to my...

So, I’ve been wondering since I powered up my pool, what setting is recommended/should I use for my chlorinator when running in spa mode vs. in standard pool mode. I have an infinity spa that regularly overflows into my pool. I also have the ability with my EasyTouch 4 and ScreenLogic2 to set...

So, I had what appeared to be a dead IC40 chlorinator. I submitted a service request with Pentair, and they sent a guy out to take a look. First thing he tried was taking the intelliph out of the loop and plugging the IC40 directly into my Easytouch4. Boom, it powered right up. So, he...

OK Folks. So about 2-3 months ago, I started seeing these greenish-brown spots (more brown really, with a touch of green) spots on my pool finish floor, sunshelf, and spa. (See attached pics). I immediately started testing trying to determine what type of stain it was (organic/inorganic) and...

Folks, This past week I noticed that the black wheels/rubber on my rebel had a green "stain" on them. I started to get concerned, but thought maybe it was just the rubber bleaching as it is a new unit I just installed in April. During this past week, when I went out to sweep my sun and party...

Folks, I happened to be reading through my Pentair IC40 manual, and in the section where is lists the recommended pool chemical levels (ie FC 2-4 per regular, NOT TFP, guidelines), and below a *notice that chlorine levels above 4.0 may cause corrosion of metal components. Given I have...

Folks, I have been trying to search for an answer to this and am not having any luck. I have a new pool (probably 6 mo. old), and am starting to get green mold spots on the grout above the waterline. No where else it seems. My question is how to get rid of it. I have read/been told to use...

I have a newly built pool, for which I have never had to add CYA until now. Through research, I have purchased the hth brand of stabilizer, as I read that it has a nice fine grain that dissolves faster. My question is in regards to how to add it to the pool. I have read many different...

I have a quick question about using bleach for green algae in grout about the water line. If you have a colored grout (ours is grey), will the bleach affect the color of the grout? My first instinct is to use bleach, but then I am also worried about it bleaching out the color of the grout...

I am stuck trying to figure out what this is. (See attached pics). I have been reading and initially tried to isolate organic vs inorganic by first putting crushed up Vitamin C in a sock on it and letting it sit for a while with no luck. So I figured it’s organic. Went to Pool Store, and they...

Ok so this is my first post here on TFP and I would like to say it has been a great resource and I would like to thank everyone for their contributions. My situation is that I have a recent pool build (past 6 months). After my initial startup, I continued using my builders pool tech to...

Hello, Were are currently in the middle of our new pool build and are having the good 'ol problem everyone seems to have...picking out our interior color. We have decided to go with the Stonescapes Mini Pebble, but are having a hard time deciding between Tropics Blue or Midnight Blue. I have...

Hello, The wife and I have decided to finally proceed with our first pool build. We are currently in process of getting quotes from various local builders, and we believe we have a fairly decent idea of what we would like, size, etc. We understand the average size is 14 X 28, but we are also...
