    DPD powder turning test water murky/cloudy

    New DPD powder from TFP store bought in Spring 23. Just opened it yesterday and used it and it turned my test sample murky. Same thing today. The powder is white and fluffy like my others have been. Over 4 years, this has never happened. Testing is in line but the cloudy thing is weird...

    Will the new IC 60 run in freeze mode if it turns on the pump?

    Can't find the answer on here. Have a situation weather wise this week where my water temps will be above 60 but ambient weather could be in the low 30's and trigger the freeze protect. Now I do run my pump in winter over night anyway since freeze protect is most likely to trigger over night...

    I almost screwed the pooch with cya and pucks. And I knew better!

    My cya was at 40 just two months ago. I kept using those Dang pucks and it got to 50 a month ago. Still in the zone I said. I mean the tf100 is literally telling me to stop and my logs in pool math are confirming it. But l kept on using the pucks. Sunday, my cya is at 65 and I am now aware of...

    Large air bubbles in return line. New build

    New here and learning a bunch. Thanks. I'm hoping you can help. I'm getting what I call big bubbles from one return. With the cover on, they appear from behind the cover but when I took it off, the big bubbles are coming from the return pipe. They start big like you see and consistent like a...
