    Pentair IC40 Question...

    Yes, I run my pump 24/7. 19 hours at 1200 rpm, and 5 hours at 2500 rpm. The IC40 indicated low flow at 900 rpm, so I bumped the low speed cycle to 1200. The unit is controlled by my Intelliph controller. The every 12 hours explanation makes sense since I've only seen it happen at...

    Pentair IC40 Question...

    I have a new IC40 (installed about 3 weeks ago)...they unit is working great, but every once in a while, lights 1 & 2 - the salt level lights - alternately flash red and green. Is this normal? I've read every word of the manual, and I cannot find an explanation for this. My latest results: FC...

    IntellipH Status Light Red

    I had the red thing in my Intelliph, too. I just ignored it. The Intelliph is working fine, so I’m not going to disassemble the tank to retrieve it. Hopefully that doesn’t come back to haunt me...

    New pool/new plaster - Pebble Tec problems - bumps, trowel marks, uneven plaster

    I agree with scdaren. I would not accept that. I had Mini Pebble done in early July, and it is much smoother than the plaster in the pics. I have a hard time believing that is within the "range of normal."

    Getting ready to turn on SWG...

    So I’m getting ready to switch on my IC40...here are my latest test results: FC 7 CC 0 Ph 7.4 CH 250 TA 70 CYA 70 Salt 3200 These numbers look pretty good to me, HOWEVER, based on these numbers, the CSI is -0.51, which is pretty close to the bottom of the...

    Seem to be using A LOT of chlorine

    I ran the OCLT last night & had 0.5 ppm FC loss... That tells me I’m losing 5.5 - 6 ppm FC during the day... Any ideas?

    Seem to be using A LOT of chlorine

    I was afraid it might be organics. Perhaps the newly filled pool sitting untreated for 2 days before the PB decided to come back to add start up chemicals caused this? I’ve kept a minimum of 4ppm of CL in it since he added start up chemicals...

    Seem to be using A LOT of chlorine

    Most recent test results: FC 7 CC 0 Ph 7.4 TA 90 CH 250 CYA 50 The pool was just resurfaced with Mini Pebble on July 5th. Have not started the SWG yet... I lose 6-7 ppm of chlorine each day. Is this normal for a newly surfaced pool in the AZ sun & heat? Thanks in advance.

    New guy here, new plaster

    Pool builder hasn’t said anything about adding chlorine. It is in the process of filling. They are supposed to be here Monday (2 days plus from now). Obviously I can’t run the filter until it is full. So the suspended plaster dust will get sucked through the skimmer? Some of it seems pretty...

    New guy here, new plaster

    Ok, here are my fill water test results: FC 0 Ph. 8.2 TA. 170 CH. 325 CYA. Couldn’t make the black dot disappear I’m not sure I want the PB to put chemicals in it...what’s my best course of action? PB has me brushing every 30 minutes, which brings another question: my drain is the...
