Looking for help as I'm going through this for another year. Each year at open I start testing and usually have either high pH or low TA. I'll treat the offender, and destroy the other. And it seems like I just have to go through this cycle until there seems to be 'enough' of both acid and...

I've gone through a few of the older threads debating turnovers on the site, but I haven't seen many people post what they ended up choosing, or what is working for them/their setup. (And I'm trying to make sure I'm not an outlier, or optimizing for the wrong parameters) I've been running 8...

Cool deal, I have the "heat set point" set at 85 today to run at noon, we'll see if that triggers cooling. Thanks guys.

I might not be seeing an obvious option, but I'm not sure how to program my heat pump to switch over to cooling for the pool during the day, and then back to heat for the spa in the evening. Thanks for any input.

The heat pump does work and work well, most of the time. I have now started a warranty claim with pentair as well. Thanks for all of y'all's help.

I believe that is the sensor between the pump and the filter.

I would like some input on the performance of my heat pump. I'm trying to figure out if it is underperforming or just not meeting expectations. We have simply been frustrated with cooler weather performance. First time pool owners, we didn't know what we didn't know, and would have had to...

After our recent loss of power, I'm thinking that it would make sense to keep a small generator around just to plug into the (disconnected) pool panel. It doesn't look like the Pentair variable speed pump and panel would really need that large of a generator, but I can't really seem to find a...

Just checked my ScreenLogic and I noticed that both Pool and Spa are marked for "on for freeze protection". Any chance it will rotate between both of them? If not should I run just the pool circuit, just the spa, or try to have it spillover? Thanks.

I'd like to get some advice for using my heat pump (ultratemp120) with my 600 gallon spa as it gets colder (first season for me). My first experience did not go well... I turned the heat pump on around 3:00 in the afternoon as the temps started going down to the forties. Heat pump finally...

I need some words of reassurance. This thing is nasty, but I'm dumping a bunch of bleach in, and just not seeing the FC rise. I'm assuming that all of the junk/algae is attaching onto all of that Clorine, but is it normal to just not see the expected rise when testing yet? This afternoon i...

Gotcha, anyone have the link to buy the FAS-DPD add on?

12 hours in and I feel like a brought a hair spritzer to a wildfire. Seems to look even worse with everything stirred up. No color change. Those piles of limbs/leaves at the end are all from the last day. Probably had gotten 3x that out before hand. The two biggest limbs I had to lift out with a...

Here... We... Go. Got power back today. First SLAM, heck the pool is only a few months old! I'm sure I've already got some of this wrong but here we go. Went ahead and assumed that the fcl was 0, used pool math and based on my 65 cya preston, put in 7 gallons of 6% bleach to get up to...

My pool is an absolute mess now that it has just sat with debris for weeks now. Is it possible to save this water? Or should i try the tarp method to replace? I guess these are my only options since you can't drain a fiber glass pool. Thanks.

Please tell me more about you balls. They looks great. Permanent? Light up?

Lowes has a pretty impressive set of supplies. As much as I use Walmart, they are not a year round supplier.

I have the opposite issue. My blower has an on/off pentair automated valve (no vent) directly underneath it. When the blower is turned on, the valve opens. When someone came and looked at the pool they asked why it was there!

Did a 10 hour OCLT and dropped .8, from 5.86 to 5.06. Now I'll start doing 24 hour test to see how the SWG is holding up at the 80%x12. Thanks yall!

Good deal. Thanks! Looks like my IC40 isn't keeping up. Going to move it to 12 hours x 100%. Pour some more bleach in to get about the OCLT minimum, do a OCLT, and go from there. Is there any section were people post what their chemical/run time settings are. I think the hardest part for new...

I hope that makes sense. But as I understand it, CYA is not chlorinated when you add it to the pool, so it would make sense to me that until the CYA is saturated with 3 Cl's each, then the CYA would be eating away at the FC in the pool. My FC has been way under what I have expected since I...

Thanks guys!

So I guess this proves that I have gotten to the point that I have completely confused myself! Instead of starting another thread, let me throw this question out to yall- (Current test: FC-2.71, TCL-2.89, pH-7.49, Alk-77.32, CH-234.67, CYA-44.95) I need to up my stabilizer and my FC...

Couple of questions here, How does the Timeout feature work? I though it was basically a Service Mode that just lasted 3 hours? Can you set out long it will stay in Timeout? I put my board into Timeout last night at 10:00, and it was still in timeout today at noon. What is a good way to work...
