Thank you, I have read the wiki. I am referring to the link above that has the document itself that was discussed in several old threads. The link is dead, so wondering if anyone has the document.

There was a post in an old thread that had this link to some research on borate and dogs, but the link is dead. Its from an old thread so I'm not allowed to resurrect it, but maybe somebody is familiar with it and has either a fresh link to the document or a copy of it? I think @chem geek likely...

Hi all, I was happy using borate for several years now, but home life has changed a bit (for the better). I have a vibrant German Shepherd who is now 2 years old, and he almost lives in the pool. Well, that as figuratively. But as an example, yesterday working in the yard, he was jumping in and...

Last night when I turned the equipment on and off via the timer, there was electrical arcing, momentary, just a spark, when it was turned on. And the motor did not start up, but hummed. Today, the equipment turned on and it is circulating like normal, so I took the stop pin off the timer to run...

Interesting. I replaced that capacitor a year and a half ago. Have to check for the the leak and see if the bearings have siezed. I think I also bought a repair kit that included replacing o-rings and whatnot. This is my second pump motor in 6 years.

Correction. Sorry I was not near the equipment when I posted. It is the pump motor that is seizing up. When I turn it on, I hear an electrical hum, then it seems an internal circuit breaker trips, then re-sets after a few minutes of it being turned off. Somehow, the last two days it started in...

Got my SWG back from CircuPool. Being only a year old I would have expected to pay nothing, but after I argued my point we compromised at $50.00 so fair enough. They replaced a circuit board and keypad and seems to be working fine now. Unfortunately now my Pentair pump froze and its only a few...

My Pentair pump froze up. Haven’t had time to see if I can repair it, but if I need to replace it I heard several recommend a variable speed pump. Is that an easy direct replacement? Would I likely have to re-plumb anything? What is involved in such a switch and would it require extra $$$...

Pretty close. I have a mercury thermometer I will check tomorrow but we’ve been in a hear wave for the last 6-8 weeks with temps around 100°. Water temp has been in the high 80°s and the high quality (lab quality) mercury thermometer has been within a few degrees of the Circupool readings.

Came home from a week vacation to find my chlorine level reduced to zero. No algae forming yet fortunately, so resorting to liquid chlorine. My RJ45+ is a year old, and salt cell cleaned recently. Red “low salt” light was on but salt is around 3800ppm. Turned it off and then on, and that...

Thanks all. The reason I had not done the OCLT is because combined chlorine has been consistently zero until yesterday it was .5 p-pm when I saw the free chlorine was at 1 ppm. I added a gallon of 12.5% liquid chlorine this morning to bump up the chlorine level to a normal range, and will check...

That I did. Thanks for the catch. Should have been 10ml sample

I have had my CircuPool RJ-45+ for a year, and the maintenance light has never come on. I do see some scaling on the cell, not completely, just some. Right now it is not generating much chlorine (my chlorine level is down to 1 PPM running at 50%, whereas it had been around 4ppm to 6ppm running...

Another one through the roof. Four years ago it was $4.50/box. Now it's $9.79/box. Has boric acid through a supplier remained more price stable? I can't remember who I used to order from so any better suggestions would help. On a second note: my german shepherd has discovered swimming in the...

Thanks, Leebo. I don't see any recent email, but looking back to when I contributed as a gold supporter I see a confirmation of payment, but nothing with any kind of discount code. I will call Marina and ask them about it. Thanks!

@Leebo, is there a discount with Marina Pool & Spa associated with my gold supporter subscription? Looks like Marty found it, re-reading, so not sure how to get that discount applied. Thanks!

Good to know about the different lengths. I have a lot of excess, could definitely use a shorter one. I have way too much excess. And I do have the bluetooth function, although I never use it.

I found the welcome email from my TFP donation but don't see a discount code. I also see a $25.00 off a $100.00 purchase from INYO pools, does Marina have similar pricing or discount?

I was afraid of that. They are not model specific, are they?

My dog chewed into the cord of my Pentair SI robot. Is this repairable or do I need to buy a replacement? Was considering some JB weld putty with maybe some shrink tubing? Also, assuming that the cord is not model specific but the same for any Dolphin, Pentair rebranding?
