    Broken return ring

    Sorry Texas Splash😏. I didn’t mention that it did leak around the broken fitting. That is main reason I need to fix it. Water level went below broken return within 2 days.

    Broken return ring

    Last winter when I was closing my fiberglass pool I was threading a pvc pipe into return wing and broke the trim ring around it. Is there any way to use epoxy or some sort of silicone to fasten this back or will I need to cut my concrete and access the plumbing from the back side. First picture...

    Confused on which Robot to buy

    If Dolphin S200 and Active20 and pentair Warrior SE are stated as being the same here on TFP. why do the range in price from $699 to $899? (Priced on Marina Pools Website)

    Robot cleaner.

    Chalky below water line. Fine on top 10-12 inches.

    Robot cleaner.

    Shell seems to be solid. In your opinion 😉.... the Robot cleaner(I was thinking of purchasing the Warrior SE) with the fine filters should trap this residue off of floor.

    Robot cleaner.

    I have a 25 year old 13x32 white fiberglass pool. Every year my floor and sidewalls have the chalky substance. Water is crystal clear until swimmers get in and stir the floor up. A few months into the swim season and backwashing several times (water looks like milk when backwashing!). It’s not...

    I just did that in pool math. You are right ( my wife loves to hear me say that). LOL!! Sounds great Mknauss. I was hoping to just be able to run my pump a few hours a day instead of 24-7. Thanks for your help and quick replies. Maybe oneday I can pay this forward. Thanks again.

    I can run whatever will be best. I was going to trial and error with that after I’ve go a good grip on chemistry of my water, which I think I’m about there? had 3 different pools and only ran them 24-7. Had pool people maintain my pool. I’ve since retired and wanted to fiddle with this myself.

    IC40 was off for 3 days. tests today FC .5 CC .5 PH 7.2 TA 100 CH 250 CYA 60 Salt 3000 nobody swimming. My question is if I run my IC40 100% overnight will I be ok or should I add some liquid. SWGCalculator says 51 hrs to get to FC 3 with no loss.

    Red Green salt light

    Yes Jim, but your cell was used up 100%. This one just shows 20% usage. I will look at date tomorrow when I Flip it over. Maybe it’s older than I think. when I bought this house last fall all correct lights were on and green. Removed it for the winter and hasn’t worked since.

    Red Green salt light

    Also I see some units have 5 % lights 20-40-60-80-100 and some units have same lights with 1% increments above each light So you can fine tune output in 1-2-3-4-5 % increments is this the newer model?
