Hi everyone - Last weekend, out of nowhere, my spa water was super low and stagnant. When I went to activate "Spa Mode" in iAqualink, nothing happened, so I manually moved some actuators to get water flowing into the spa. Since then, every time I think I have it solved, I'll wake up and the spa...

Hi everyone - My pool has an 18" raised wall on one side (leads into a raised spa) and earlier this week I noticed an orange stain on the tile. The tile is mostly white/grey so it stands out quite a bit. I took a regular pool brush to it and it had no effect on the stain at all. Curious if...

My pool was installed in July 2021 so this is my 2nd "winter" (in quotations because I'm in Southern California and the pool never closes. In the past few months my coping has this white discoloration that I suspect is efflorescence. Calcium deposits are much harder and almost like rock but...

Anyone see that phin is shutting it down? I know there were few positive experiences on these forums but interesting to see them call it quits. https://www.phin.co/#buy-now

I'm curious if anyone has listened to this podcast or read through this article - Containing pH vs. Controlling pH in a Pool It's an interesting read and while it does leverage the use of LSI, CSI could just as easily be used and the premise of the article would still hold water (see what I...

Hi everyone Wasn't sure the best spot to post this. I've asked about calcium on tile before and have been able to get rid of the nasty spots on the tile with a pumice stone. I'm having a lot of trouble finding a solid answer on what to do about grout. I have some really caked on calcium (see...

Hello all - I've read through the TA posts and directions on lowering Alkalinity. I'd like to try and put Borates in my pool and trying to get my TA down. I'm currently at 90, down from 100 two weeks ago and in past attempts seem to get stuck at 90. Quick question - Does it matter the speed...

Hello I have a Jandy JE3000T heat pump. I'm having an issue when it turns on, it will kick in to the VSP speed I set for the heat pump (2,500 RPM) but when it shuts off, instead of the VSP reverting back to its regularly scheduled program, it always reverts to speed 1 (in my case called...

Hello all My friend and I just got new pools together and each have the TF-100 kit. My buddy is testing his CH level and he's getting readings of over 800. I came to his house today and did it with him. What I noticed is when I initially add the R-0010 and R-0011L, while it does turn red, it's...

Hi everyone - My pool has only been open for about 45 days. I have an Intelliflo VSP connected to an iAqualink system. I also have an iChlor 30 SWG. Randomly, I've been noticing an issue and cannot figure out for the life of me what to do. I called Aqualink today and they did a memory reset on...

Hi everyone - Wasn't quite sure what section this belonged in so I went with Just Getting Started. My new in-ground pool was filled on 7/3/2021 so we're just over a month old. I just posted about my SWG getting activated and because the PB added too much salt, today we drained the pool down to...

Hello everyone - I have a 14,000 gallon mini-pebble plaster pool and after 30+ days since we added our water, the contractor turned on the SWG yesterday. I had been doing great with my chemistry using liquid chlorine and now everything is out of whack and I have a few questions. I want to see...

Hello everyone. I have a 16x32 freeform pool that is 3 weeks new. Although it uses sale, I'm waiting 30 days and currently on liquid chlorine. Attached to the pool is a 7' diameter spa with 5 jets. It is 18" above the pool with a spillover. They share a pump and I have a heart pump as a...
