So I have a new (this season) Mastertemp 200. Ran great all season until a few days ago when I got home, and despite the heater being "on" all day, the pool was still cool and the heater wasn't running. E05 error. I could watch the SFS temp climb from ambient to approx 290º. It would hover...

I've had a spa since new in Fall 2020. Recently I noted that the spa displayed "Oh" and the pump was running continuously. I shut it off. The water was over 108º. I've since been doing some troubleshooting. I first thought (hoped) that the kids and changed the filter cycle. They had not...

I'm trying to eke out a few more days at the end of the season, and it appears my heater has decided to not cooperate. It recently started cutting out with the red "Service Heater" LED illuminated. Looking on the back of the control board I see a SFS LED illuminated. Following the...

I've attached a diagram of my pool. Planning to close tomorrow. I've adjusted chemicals, brushed and vacuumed today, should be in good shape to close tomorrow for chemistry. I had a couple questions about blowing out the lines. Specifically the best way to clear the lines. I have an Air...

Hello all. I have an approx. 10,000 Gallon vinyl pool. Pool builder supplied / installed an IC-20. CYA of 80. I've been running the IC20 at 100% from 8 AM until 8 PM. Per PoolMath this should produce approximately 4 ppm FC. Most daily testing only showed around 3 ppm mid-day ish in the...

So I have a 400 USG tub, and a 10k USG pool. The pool is Salt and works "swimmingly." I tried salt in the tub, and it corroded my heater tube to the point it was riddled with holes. I've replaced the heater, and I'd like to avoid that same problem again. As such, I'll go with straight...

So I opened my pool to nice and clear water. FC was around 8. OCLT is successful. Am I right to assume I can just start balancing like normal now? Still too cold for SWCG. Today: Current Target FC 4.0 5.0 CC 0.0 0.0 pH 7.5 7.6 TA 70 CH 175 CYA 50 70 Salt...

So my spa manual specifically states “using third party salt systems voids the warranty.” I thought I knew better and went with salt. Now I have a leak from the “heat exchanger”. Any thoughts? call the manufacturer and play dumb?

So I had my pool installed last year, and started up in May. I ran the pool all summer with great water chemistry (thanks). I had the pool builder close to maintain warranty for the ridiculous price of $400 CAD (around $320 USD). I'll be opening the pool myself. So I opened up my filter and...

I need a refill, and would like to save on shipping. I'll be doing a US trip and would be willing to bring one back.

So we have our tub being delivered on Monday. Very excited to finally get it, and just in time for fall! We have a salt water pool with the Intellichlor and things have gone mostly smooth for the summer. Bromine is the “de facto” standard for spa’s, but since we have a chlorine pool should we...

So our pool was installed, and started up a month ago. Builder dumped in some chlorine, and salt, and left us to our own devices. Things have been going pretty well, you can view my Pool Math logs in my profile. I've been trying to decide if it's better to run the pump longer with a lower SWG...

So I have a new pool install and had a couple chemistry questions. Current: FC 5.0 CC 0.0 pH 7.5 TA 80 CH 120 CYA 70 Salt 3000 (Test strips) (Adding salt later today) Equipment is Pentair IC40, MasterTemp heater. In Ground Vinyl lined 10,000 Gallon. Per the TFP CYA chart, I think my numbers...

So yesterday, I had a pH of 7.8 and TA of 120. I added 900 mL 31.45% Muriatic Acid, and this morning I'm showing pH 7.2, TA 110. I'm working on getting the TA down while keeping pH within acceptable limits. I have two returns and a waterfall, so I'll plan on using those for aeration. How...
