Adding a SWG and automation. Been reading the forums and thought I knew what I wanted but recently came across a post that made me question that. I had been planning on getting the EasyTouch8 and IC60 combo and adding Screen Logic: Pentair EasyTouch 8SC-IC60 521150 | PoolSupply4Less That looks...

We're replastering/retiling the pool and adding some structural features (bench, tanning ledge). We're also adding an EasyTouch system to control a new SWG, VS pump, etc. PB suggested replacing the old light we have with LEDs that can change colors. I'm thinking this would be an Intellibrite 5G...

I'm looking to pull the trigger on an overdue pool remodel. As part of a re-plaster we're going to add some structural elements. Photo below shows a bench we'll add from the spa and along side of pool in red. We're considering adding a tanning ledge in purple. The pool is old and only has three...

New pool owner. I put in brand new grids on my filter back in mid May. I've been watching pressure for the 10psi rise telling me to backwash. Problem is, the pressure isn't rising, and in fact has slowly been decreasing. Started at 20psi, now around 15.5. Guage was new around that time so I'm...

Been looking at switching to SWG. Looking for a bit of advice. I’m thinking about getting a CircuPool RJ60 but weighing that vs. Pentair IC60 w/ automation. I’ve got a single speed Hayward pump on a timer. I originally thought I’d have to replace to a VS pump if I went SWG, but it sounds...

Our pool is going to need to be resurfaced in the near future. No idea what type of surface we'll go with as I'm just starting to research the options, but I am curious if one time of year is better to do this vs. others. For example, is it cheaper in the summer vs "winter"? We live in hot and...

I’m a new pool owner and very glad I found the forum. Been taking care of chemistry myself and recently bought an M400 robot per what I’ve learned here. So far so good. When we bought the house we knew the plaster was pretty bad and would need to be re-done. We plan to be in this house forever...

New house, new pool. There's a designed hole between the spa and the main pool. Not sure why it's there as the spa spills over the pool when pump is running. Previous owner plugged it up, I'm assuming to help keep spa hot when using it, which makes sense. However, whatever he used is now a...

New pool owner. I've got an attached Spa. When I want to heat the spa, I simply move the two way valves for supply and return from "pool" to "spa" and turn on the heater. Spa heats up with some spillover into the pool and everything seems great. A friend of mine has a similar set-up and every...

Purchased a house with a pool in Jan, first time owner. Learning up about the chemistry, bleach, etc. but I have another question that's been bugging me. The previous owner left a Polaris 360 cleaner. There is no booster pump so all of the returns have reducers (blocked except for a small hole)...

New pool owner since this January. I have been using tabs (tricolor) and powdered cal-hypo “shock” per pool store recommendations until I found this site a couple weeks ago. Got a TF-100 and most recent readings are below: FC – 5 CC - 0 pH – 7.8 (maybe a bit higher) TA – 120 CH – 400 CYA – 100...
