So, I had my pool closed for the winter. Lines blown out and cover installed. This is the 3rd year closing since the pool was built. They put antifreeze in the skimmers/lines and all seemed ok, with a couple of inches of liquid in each skimmer with a rubber plug in the open hole and a Gizmo in...

This unit started throwing error code 125 and 194. We used it for 5 months last year and at the end of the season it had some scaling on the outside of the electrodes, but nearly none on the plates. We had a new plaster pool, and I tried keeping CSI negative, but it seemed to rise slightly...

During our first season, the TA was always above 60(60-100). When I opened this spring, it was hovering between 60-70. I've been dosing with Muriatic acid to keep Ph in check, and that addition has steadily been lowering TA. I'm now sitting at TA 50, and I feel I'm approaching TA 40. When I do...

I want to install low voltage lighting around the deck of our pool. After the deck was done last year and during sod laying, I put a low voltage direct burial wire around the deck in anticipation of adding lights. Well, I finally bought the lights and transformer. I opened the box and was...

I bought the TF-100 with SmartStir and K-1766 salt test last year before the TF-Pro came out. It's time for new reagents. I would like to upgrade this year to the TF-Pro(salt) box and reagents. Are the testing cylinders different? Can anyone tell me what I would need to upgrade what I had last...

Moved from here. Don't want to hijack this thread, but having an issue with my brand new Jandy 1400. My Taylor K-1766 gives 2600ppm of my pool water. The display on the Jandy says 3.3(3300ppm?). I took a sample to the pool store for another opinion and their result was 2550. Per the pool...

I've got my robot and used it a couple of times. The instructions were not very helpful. The Active30 came with the filter "box" installed, with 4 filters in place(ultra fine filters?), made of a fine white screen. Separately, 4 pleated filters came in a bag. Should I be using the 4 pleated...

Wonderful site with tons of information. I hope to continue learning as well as being able to help others. We have decided to build a concrete pool after having a 24 foot round above ground pool for the last 15 years. I have always used DE with an inline chlorinator and a Nature2 mineral...
