Thank you for the validation. The reason why I raised the autofill was it is noisy due to the spout being just outside the water. Going to have to try to find the sweet spot where autofill and skimmer are happy.

I recently adjusted my auto fill level raising the water level above the top of the skimmer weir. Around the same time, surface skimming essentially stopped. Is this an expected result? The top of the weir is under water, so surface debris aren't sucked into skimmer?

There is flow - I have verified. I've tried turning flow up very high and still get the error. Resetting the breakers and restarting the system clears the error and the SWG operates normally for a week or so. System is a about 14mo old. Reported issue when it was about 12mo old. edit: I...

The SWG has been throwing a low flow error lately and when I called Pentair they told me acid cleaning is necessary every few months.

Is there a part number for a cap for my Intellichlor SWG so I can perform the muriatic acid maintenance soak?

This fixed it! The pool had the wrong light type and the spa was blank. Thank you!

The iAqualink app is no longer giving the option to change the color on our spa LED's. The pool and spa lights are controlled separately on the app and we used to get a popup asking what color you wanted when you toggled the lights on and off. Then a couple weeks ago, the popup stopped and you...

I bought a Warrior SE this summer and love using it except for the cord. After one session, the cord ends up twisted so bad the robot cannot reach all of the pool. It has a swivel on the cord near the robot, but it doesn't seem to work well.

Does this sound right? I've seen older posts saying folks have a minimum of 1000-1200 rpm for their SWG, but I've dropped mine down to 600rpm and it shows Flow and Cell On. I'm wanting to run longer at lower rpm to save energy, and don't have very much skimming need. AquaPure PLC1400 Jandy VS...

Is it ok to leave our umbrella in the cabo shelf hole for a weekend? Could it leach anything into the pool? Would not be for stretches longer than that. Just thinking for convenience if we plan on being in the backyard all weekend?

I'm asking because it would be nice to throw in something to keep pH down in a salt pool while out of town and not rely on Trichlor.

No, I tried adding it after in Service mode. That would explain it. Thank you!

I found this other thread that has a potential solution by pressing a reset button in the control panel. I'm not going to do it right now, because the builder has the system in Service mode to balance the new pool chemistry.

Setting up iAqualink 2.0 on new pool. I have it connected to my router and the lights on the housing indicate wifi and internet connection. I created an account, but when I try to "add location" I get "enter valid serial number" error. I'm using the 12 digit code that is on the housing and on...

great info, thank you!!

Our builder says that we need to wait 30 days until we activate our SWG in our new pebble pool. Why is this?

Thanks for the response. Should I turn off the SWG while the pucks are in the pool and let them maintain chlorination?

In regards to pH in the pool in my signature that is unattended for a week or 2, If no acid is added to the pool, will the pH eventually stabilize at a higher pH that is acceptable for a short time or will it rise and rise to a dangerous level? Can I lower the pH below recommended levels...

Newbie building a 18k G pool with cartridge filter. We have a Husky/Sheppard mix that sheds like crazy. He doesnt really like the water, but the yard can get hair tumbleweeds. Do I need to to do anything special wiht the filter system to cope?

We will have kids from age 5 through 14 in our new 18k gal pool this summer. Looking for fun toys and floats that you all like. Will spend some extra $ for stuff that wont be popped or ripped after the first day. :p

I called Marina and on her recommendation, bought a Warrior SE. Now I need some water in the hole to put it in.

They slap a label on the bag that it is for pools and charge 50% more for the same salt.

Home Depot has a link to the SDS sheet on Morton's products. These are all listed to have no additives. Pure and Natural is listed. https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/07/07bee8f0-4276-4173-bafd-23a3623507f8.pdf

Reading through Jandy's AquaPure manual, they only recommend 1-3ppm free chlorine at ~80CYA, while Pool Math recommends 6ppm. Why the difference?

I asked my builder for a robot cleaner option and he gave me 3 options instead of the included Polaris TR28P and booster pump: Alpha iQ +$650 (including GFI circuit) EPIC 8642 iQ +$150 (including GFI circuit) Buy my own and get $900 credit for TR28P and booster. I can't find much info in TFP...

Zodiac stuff in the quote: VS 2.7hp variable pump CL-460 filter LED lights Polaris RT28P (I have been thinking about an electric robot, though) iQ904P controller 1.5 hp spa jet pump Jxi400 propane heater RS automation system Purelink salt system

We are in the process of getting quotes and one of the builders uses Zodiac equipment. He says it is the same or part of Jandy. Is this company recommended?

This is the challenge!! Especially when I hear from builders that say they do not recommend salt water.

I've noticed a lot of differing opinion on SW pools. The subreddit r/pools (r/pools) has an overall negative opinion of SW pools associated with deck erosion and hardware corrosion. Why the disagreement. Many of the people in r/pools claim to be technicians and people working in the...
