    Inconsistent pressure on the pressure-side sweep

    My pressure-side sweep (Pentair Legend I believe) stopped working so I have been working through the possible issues. I have cleaned the filter, replaced the wheels to make sure the drive shaft is catching the teeth, cleaned out all the baskets. When I turn the cleaner on it gets good pressure...

    Auto chlorinator not working?

    Thanks for all the responses. Based on what everyone is saying there might not actually be anything wrong with the auto chlorinator. I think what was happening is the algae that is visibly in the pool is eating the small amount that gets put in the pool every day. Now that I have the levels...

    Auto chlorinator not working?

    Thanks. Isn't CYA Cyanuric Acid? I add that regularly to keep the pH balanced.

    Auto chlorinator not working?

    I have an auto chlorinator and this summer I have been having algae problems. The pucks don't seem to be dissolving as fast as they used to and when I check the chlorine levels it is always lower than I would like. I have also been adding liquid chlorine periodically to try and boost the...

    Getting to know my pool

    I recently moved into a house with a pool that I am managing myself. So far, so good, but I would like to understand a bit more about all the equipment. I want to get a solid grasp on what everything does so I can potentially add features in the future and make sure I am getting everything out...

    I screwed up my Screen Logic setup somehow

    Thank. I know it will use the highest RPM if cleaner and pool are on. My issue is when just pool is on. I have main pump and a booster pump. I'm not sure if/when the booster ever comes on. I'll try to use the pc app to configure it.

    I screwed up my Screen Logic setup somehow

    I don't know if I am in service mode. I didn't do it intentionally. The pump says not active.

    I screwed up my Screen Logic setup somehow

    Yes, the pool button turns green when i turn the pool on, but the pump doesn't turn on. INteresting update: When the cleaner came on with the schedule the pump turned on and it is working as expected. Not sure what will happen tomorrow. I got the windows application running. Here are the...

    I screwed up my Screen Logic setup somehow

    What program is that and where can find it? I am only using the mobile app. Here are some screen shots. I am turning the pool on by pressing the Pool button on the pool screen.

    I screwed up my Screen Logic setup somehow

    I have a Pentair Screen Logic controller on my relatively simple setup. Pool, Spa, Jets and Cleaner. I was messing with the IntelliFlo to change the RPMs and I changed the selection for pump at the top and all the settings got cleared out. I tried to put them back the way I remembered, but now...

    Rust spots?

    No screen enclosure, no metal brush, no well. The only thing I can think of is that the lip of our waterfall is metal.

    Rust spots?

    I have a relatively new pool built about 2 years ago. I have been doing all the maintenance myself and it has been going great. In the last month or so I noticed a couple spots that look like rust and since I first saw it there seems to be more appearing. What are they and what can I do to...
