    Dumping salt water in the woods

    I wouldn't dump water to get down to 3,200. My pool was at 3,800 with no ill effects.

    Taylor Salt Test Inconsistent and More Test Help Needed!

    Hello TFP Pros! I went into Leslie’s for some Liquid Chlorine and to have my salt tested as my Taylor test was all over the place. I walked out with zero LC (out of stock) and a $50 bottle of PHOSfree. I’ll start with Salt, they came back at 3,443 and my Taylor Kit is saying 3,600 (18 drops)...

    Taylor Salt Test Inconsistent and More Test Help Needed!

    So... is there any way to slow it down? Or will I just have to keep gallons of MA on hand at all times. I tested my tap and it is at 90 TA. I also retested Salt using the vertical drop method and it registered at 3,800. Thank You! I have to give my dear wife all the credit! She chose the...

    Taylor Salt Test Inconsistent and More Test Help Needed!

    Understood, will keep pulling from same location. Thank You! As far as returns I have 15 Q360 heads in the pool/spa floor that alternate through cycles all day long. I also have 6 jets in the Spa although I have that valve nearly shut and it’s just water. I only turn on the Blower when we...

    Taylor Salt Test Inconsistent and More Test Help Needed!

    Yes I am using the SpeedStir and the samples are from different locations of my pool. All fresh pulls with 20 min of each other. I would also clean the cylinder as those two reagents cause a white buildup very very quickly. Thank You for the great insight on figuring out the CYA. I will work it...

    Taylor Salt Test Inconsistent and More Test Help Needed!

    Hey Folks I just got my Taylor Salt Kit off of Amazon… it’s super inconsistent and all over the place. We switched to salt last week and I had been using strips. I added 320lbs of salt last Saturday and the Leslie’s Salt strips (repackaged AquaChek strips) have consistently registered 6.6 or...

    Intellichlor IC40 Kit + Intelliflo VSF Wiring / WITHOUT Automation

    Unfortunately patience is not a skill I possess. :( I think I will be able to use the same circuit to power up the IntelliConnect and remove the timer once I receive it. This will hopefully save me a trip by the electrician as I can shut-off the panel and wire it in. I think I will go with the...

    Intellichlor IC40 Kit + Intelliflo VSF Wiring / WITHOUT Automation

    Thank You AJW22: I have an IntelliConnect on order although just like my Pentair Intellichlor IC40 the pool was built and finished ahead of receiving this item. It has shown "Preparing to Ship" on Leslie's site for months. I purchased the TF-Pro Kit with Speedstir (XL Option) although I didn't...

    Amen... I hate it pushes dirt and won't even pickup the excess small pebbles from my StoneScapes Pebble Baja. I can't wait to bust out my 14" Pentair Vacuum Head although I am doing my best to follow the Plaster Start-Up Guide verbatim!

    New Pool Owner Needs Some Guidance!

    Thank You I understand now. I don’t have any direct returns in the pool as I only have 15 BlueSquare 360 pop up heads in the floor. Do I put instead in front of a spa jet or do you recommend I put somewhere else?

    New Pool Owner Needs Some Guidance!

    When you all say socks do you mean a skimmer sock or just regular athletic socks? The CYA I got is a 5lb bag of powder not tablets.

    What size Heater do I need?

    I appreciate the feedback and insight. Honestly I was shying away from the electric models although the HeatPump option makes sense. I will check out these options and see which I can fit into the budget.
