    Black stains on pebble tec pool

    I stated using a robot pool cleaner a couple of months ago. Around the same time I dropped a pool rx device into the filter basket. This is the first time I've used either device in three years of owning the pool. Since then I've noticed these black streaks on the walls of the pool. I think...

    Control panel reading not matching manual reading.

    Thanks for the information. I have an Aqua Plus, the display doesn't look like your example. Maybe the logic still stands, but wanted to bring that up. What concerns me is my panel seems to be off from what the actual salinity number is. That's what got me into this mess. My pool guy, since...

    Control panel reading not matching manual reading.

    Thanks for the manual. I'll check it out. I'm new to this. It's my first pool.

    Control panel reading not matching manual reading.

    I just installed a new T-Cell15 yesterday. The old one failed testing at the pool store. It's the enhanced cell, the 940, but uses the same setup as the T-Cell15. My reading with a Taylor test kit was 3000PPM. The pool store showed 2800PPM. So we're close. But the control panel shows 2400PPM and...

    First time using TF-100 test kit thoughts on results

    So it turns out my pool guy that was highly recommended on FB has pretty much been dumping in salt and little or nothing else. The water was clear so I didn't question it. But the testing results show it's lacking in almost every category. He's out and I'm taking over. I had my cell tested and...

    Also, when I guy a new cell is a generic one ok or should I stick with the OEM?

    First time using TF-100 test kit thoughts on results

    Thanks, I'm going to have the cell tested today. I'm pretty sure I'm doing the test correctly. It's really obvious when the water turns salmon. I"m putting 10ml in the tube, adding one drop of R0630, putting it in the speed stirrer, and then adding a drop of R-0718 as it stirs until it turns...

    Thanks for the information. I've added some information in my signature. Sorry, I supplied inaccurate information with my test results due to a math error. The salt water test actually is 8000ppm, not 800ppm. It took 40 drops to turn salmon. I redid it today and it took 42 drops, so 8400PPM. I...

    I've had a pool company taking care of my pool for the 9 months I've owned it. I'm ready to take over the responsibilities and get rid of them. The pool is an in-ground saltwater pool around 13.5K gallons. I've purchased the TF-100 test kit, salt water test kit, and speed stirrer. I ran the...

    New pool owner. First timer.

    Great to find this forum. Just moved in and this is my first pool. It's a salt water pool. I'm currently paying a pool company for maintenance but I think once I'm settled in I'll handle the pool care myself.
