    Microbrite Alternative?

    I have 5 microbrites in my pool + 1 in the spa and since I completed my pool 11/2020 I have had 3 die. 1 was replaced under warranty but the other two failed just outside of the warranty. I find this failure rate rather alarming and I'm struggling with spending another $500 a piece to replace...

    Can you run a pump off a generator?

    Wasn't too bad just some moss and small limbs. Luckily for us we missed the worst of it however, I feel bad for the people that took a worse hit than us. Looks like mine has brushes with an AVR

    Can you run a pump off a generator?

    Sorry everyone I lost track of the thread during hurricane prep. Thank you for the responses everyone. We survived hurricane Ian but did loose power for about 36 hours. The pool survived from what I can tell and all tests came back good today. I might look into options in the future for the...

    Can you run a pump off a generator?

    Does liquid chlorine ever go bad? I have a bottle from a year or so ago that was never opened.

    Can you run a pump off a generator?

    I should have clarified... This is a non-inverter style generator.

    Can you run a pump off a generator?

    First of all I wasn't sure if this was the right location to post this in or not so mods please move it as needed. So with a potential hurricane approaching (1st one ever since owning a pool) it got me thinking about what I would do with the power out. It got me thinking and I had a couple...

    Intellicenter stick on pool mode

    I'll have to check but I don't think so. One thing I forgot to mention (not sure it makes a difference) is that the green status light for the pool in on during all this but if I touch it it won't turn off even though the pump is not running.

    Intellicenter stick on pool mode

    Thanks I'm not sure if it's nodejs or pentair but I was thinking pentair but I don't know the detailed workings of what turns the chlorinator on and off.

    Intellicenter stick on pool mode

    I'll try to grab a screenshot tomorrow as it apparently has dropped off my network again. I do have the pool circuit setup on there and this only happens sometimes. I should mention I also run nodejs pool controller due to issues with the pentair system that drove me crazy. I attached a...

    Intellicenter stick on pool mode

    So I've noticed a couple times now that when my scheduled pool run time ends for the day the "pool" will still show active. The pump will stop but the chlorinator will still have power and everything and I have to reboot the panel to fix this. Has this happened to anyone else?

    Green tint to pool?

    I did not know that I was told to always do it. Unfortunately I let it go too long so my salt is at 2600 and the generator has shut off so it's probably safer to shut it off right?

    Green tint to pool?

    Nope not on a well... We've had some pretty bad rains the past couple days though. I need to add salt in the pool today so I'll have to shut the cell off the 24 hours with that. Thanks

    Just for comparison here are a couple pictures from another day (different time, sky,, condition, ect)

    Green tint to pool?

    I don't know how well these show it and they actually make me wonder if I'm crazy and seeing thing (perhaps the clouds are making it look hazy)

    Green tint to pool?

    Yeah I'll post a pic shortly. My CYA is always and issue and seems like to be at 50

    Green tint to pool?

    Pool water looked great yesterday but I woke up today and the pool seems to have a hazy green tint to it. I don't know of this is from the bad storm we had roll through last night. I ran a full test and everything came back good (although I need to adjust some stuff). I was hoping it was...

    CYA loss a concern?

    Ok thanks for the response so this is completely normal for the area it sounds.

    CYA loss a concern?

    I have the salt test kit I just don't use it often (part lazy and part spendy reagent). Good to know on the cell life (luckily mine is only a year old). I'll try to start doing the CYA test outside to see what level I get and I can monitor it for a few weeks to see if I get the same drop. I...

    CYA loss a concern?

    The pool doesn't have an auto fill. Water loss doesn't seem excessive maybe an inch every week or two (haven't been tracking) I suppose I could have read them differently but I do my test inside in the same location at about the same time each week. I'll be honest I normally don't test salt...

    CYA loss a concern?

    I'll try to keep this simple and sorry if it's a silly question but at what point should you be concerned about CYA dropping? It seems like everytime I raise the CYA it drops quickly. I added 91oz of dry stabilizer 22 days ago and my CYA had dropped from 70 to 50. I just want to make sure I...
