That’s were I’m confused because I see the steps with residue and not sure if that’s DE going back into the pool. I have a Polaris vrxiq robot cleaning my floors on a daily schedule. I thought that what I saw was dirty DE settling on the corners and high steps. How can I rule out a bad filter. I...

Thank you for the response. Also. I’m a bit confused with my current pentair quad 80. I was once told that I can run the filter with the current cartridge cylinder filters it has with or without DE as an option. Is that true.

I took a pic of the bottom container

I’m going on 10 years but I have never backed washed them. I open the lid and hose down and put back in and reload DE. But I think they are over due.

Hello, I’m in need of some guidance. I need to replace the pentair quad 80 cartridge filters x 4. They are not cheap in price. Any idea of possible options for the OEM 178655 filter. Please advise. Thank you

I'm sorry. There is a valve between the spa and the main pool return. However there is no valve between the main line and the in floor cleaning system allowing the water to only traveling into the pool through the main line into the Infloor cleaning system which goes through the different zones...

No value on the return line to the spa

Yes, when they built my pool the return filter water goes back to the pool through the inground cleaning system.

12K pool size with TA 70-80, borates 30, PH 7.5 Use about 28-32 oz of MA to maintain per week. Since my pool return is plumb through my in floor cleaning system, I have six station with one being into the spa in which the water spills over into the main pool. No way I can bypass. This additional...

I also have an easy touch control panel with and intelichlor IC60. I am looking into ph automation for my ph drift. My pool readings are within normal limits. However the return runs through the pool spa and spill over into the main pool. I was leaning towards the intelliph to work in sync with...

Looking into adding the intelliph to my existing system. I have an easy touch control panel and a pentair IC 60. Any suggestions and also after using your system, do you recommend. Any Pros / Cons would be greatly appreciated. Tks

Tested my water and results are FC 5, PH 7.6, TA 90, CYA 70, CH 700, Salt 3400, Borate 30. Water looks Great. Should I be concerned with a high CH. I am going to work on lowering TA to 80 with MA. Also I would like to thank this forum for guiding me on testimg my borates using the drop test...

CH of my fill water is 300

Tested my pool water today and pool chemistry was: FC 5, PH 7.5, TA 80, CYA 70, CH 800., water temp 90. Pool water seems to look good. Was in the process of debating whether or not to add borates to 30-50 ppm to control ph drift due to SWG. My wife is concerned about health hazards. If I decide...

Thanks

I have a 12, 000 galloon plaster pool with a salt water generator. Any advise on what should be the optimum FC, PH, TA CH, CYA levels. Pool is in direct sunlight for most of the day.

The home warranty sent a technician out for service. I had a hunch that they replaced as cheap as possible. I just wasn't sure. I was going to try to have them replaced with an actuator that is comparable in quality as the pentair but I wasn't sure if it was worth the trouble. Please advise

In my pool, the valves are automated using the easy touch control panel and wireless remote. I had 3 pentair compool actuator valves that went bad and would no longer work. They were replaced with the brand super pro. Should I be concerned or are they just as good as the pentair. Please advise...

Re: Anyone regret adding borates? Hello, everyone. I'm a newbie to the BBB method and began to adjust my pool chemistry using Bleach, Baking Soda, MA, and stabilizer. Currently PH 7.5, FC 4, TA 80, CYA 70. I read some threads pertaining to adding borate to 30-50 ppm to pool water. I have a...

Thank you for your response. My main concern prior to looking into a pool have been the health hazards associated with chlorine. I also understand that some have sensationalized health hazards with chlorine to sell their own chlorine free pool sanitizers. Being new to the pool community, this...

In the process of building a pool and need some additional help. What would be the best alternative to a chlorine system? I was thinking of having a CLFree system installed. Please advise. This will be our first pool. Thanks
