    Water Temp Question

    I’m just curious, why did you choose to turn off swg and use liquid? I am in FL and run my Swg all winter, normal water temps don’t really dip below 60 at the coldest point though.

    TA reading considering CYA levels

    Okay, I’ve usually only paid attention to overall CSI as you say, just trying to hit these startup numbers for the first month or so for warranty records. They need printouts of me being at their values.

    TA reading considering CYA levels

    How does it account for that reading? I don’t see any adjustment being made to the value I enter, I only see CSI changing depending on what’s entered.

    TA reading considering CYA levels

    Hi guys. Doing a restart with a fresh fill after a new pebble coat. Looking at my Wet Edge startup instructions and I’m seeing something I haven’t run into before. They’re saying to calculate TA, get your TA and CYA readings, divide cya by 3 then subtract from TA for (True TA) reading. For...

    Fill and start after pebble resurface...

    Hi Guys. I’ve maintained my outdoor 13.5k pebble pool for a while now following TFP with zero issues. Love the methodology. Right now I’m getting into uncharted waters with a pool demo and resurface. Old coating failed and I’m putting in a “Wet Edge” finish. My questions are... after the...

    iChlor30 production times- SWG

    Just wanted to put this up Incase anyone comes across this thread in the future... just got off the phone with Pentair and got a verified answer. The ichlor30 and all other Pentair SWG’s run in 5 min cycles. So at 100% the cell will produce all 5 minutes. At 50% it will produce for 2.5 min then...

    iChlor30 production times- SWG

    Thanks guys. All I was really looking for was the SWG cycle times at different percentages so I could get smart about letting my FC drop after a slam. All good from here.

    iChlor30 production times- SWG

    Thanks Jim, Im coming down off a slam and found what percentage keeps up with my daily burn off, so I’m able to keep a very stable level, only right now that level is around 8 and I need it around 5.

    iChlor30 production times- SWG

    I’ve been trying to figure out, with little to no insight from the manual, how the on and off cycle of the ichlor30 works. Or any SWG with a selectable output for that matter. Obviously the output percentage indicates how much of the run time the cell is actually on vs in standby mode, but how...

    New S300i Issue - Stops Mid-Sequence

    Update from my issue... I had contacted Maytronics numerous times, emailed Israel, and gone through a replacement power supply, zero luck. My Dolphin dealer was able to get ahold of the area rep for Maytronics and he came out to my home and diagnosed the robot right there. He could connect...

    New S300i Issue - Stops Mid-Sequence

    I am having the exact same issue. S300i bought 2 weeks ago now. Can’t get it to run a full cycle, red ring, exactly how you described it, no matter if I start it via a Bluetooth connection, manually with the physical button, or with a WiFi connection. Customer service has been no help. I...

    To Slam or not to Slam...

    So this is interesting... 2 days ago I did an OCLT and lost 2ppm over the course of 8 hours. Decided to SLAM. Took my FC to 28, per a 70 cya reading. Last test was at midnight last night, 32. At 0600 this morning I got 27. That’s .83ppm loss per hour with zero sunlight. And at normal FC...

    Chemical approach to determine pool size

    Hello all! Is there a way to determine pool volume by some kind of chemical addition at a known value and gauging the reaction in the pool itself? I should be somewhere between 13.5 and 15k I think, but I would really like to know for sure. Anyone have a proven method they could share?

    To Slam or not to Slam...

    Hi Texas! Thanks for your input. It was a textbook OCLT with 2 samples taken each time before and after (same result). I forgot to mention, I get a fair amount of pollen and small debris from trees blown in the pool every day. Also have dogs and kids in the pool almost every day. Could my...

    To Slam or not to Slam...

    Hello Guys. Been a lurker here for a few months and learned A LOT. Did my first OCLT last night and ended up with a loss of 2ppm FC (8 hours total). Pool looks great, was suspecting a potential issue when I had to turn my SWG up past 95%, running pump for 19 hours with a break at night for...
