Hi All, I could have sworn I saw this on the forum somewhere, but my search skills have failed me over the past 30 minutes. My apologies for the duplicate post. My pool is closed for the winter, so I am about to put all the "pool stuff" away. I was going to store the Taylor Kit in my basement...

Hello, About a week or two ago my pool heater LCD display does not come on when I press any of the buttons on the panel. I am reaching out to Pentair and my pool builder as it is still under warranty. However, I want to see if there is something I am missing that maybe I can easily do myself. I...

I am trying to determine "value" for a quote my pool builder gave me for a pool cover. I have in the past seen quotes ranging from $4k to $7k for the pool covers over the past few years (as recently as last summer). My current quote is about ~$9k for the cover and then another ~$3,200 for...

I know I have been posting a lot lately, but I just had my entire pool renovated from plumbing to liner and everything in between. Before my pool contractor is "off the hook", I want to make sure I understand everything. This problem with the skimmers I have read is a simple fix by placing a...

I just got done with a new pool renovation. Basically, all new equipment and plumbing. I went away once I got my chemicals set, and I probably increased my SWG too much. When I returned, I had to replace some water loss as well. However, I think I am in a better place albeit a little high pH...

My apologies for duplicating this thread, but the other ones were from a while back. I recently transitioned from a Hayward DE Filter to this Hayward Pro Series S244T Sand Filter. There are many references in the Hayward documents and other internet sources, to release the pressure by using a...

I currently have my Pentair SuperFlo VST set to 2000/2500/3000 (2 hours/10 hours/2 hours) with 3450 (3 hours) being the quick clean. I noticed that when I had it set to 1800, my Pentair iChlor 30 did not like it, so I had to kick it up. I also know my Sta-Rite Max-E-Therm 333K BTU heater will...

I apologize for the lack of information, but I wanted to start a conversation about things to look out for when renovating a pool. Basically, my entire pool is being redone. I have a 16.5k gallon inground vinyl kidney bean pool. I estimate that the pool is 30 plus years old. I recently switched...

First, I apologize if this thread currently exists. I have a kidney bean shaped pool at ~16,500 gallons with a DE Filter, inline chlorinator, oil fired heater, and vinyl siding. I rarely shocked my pool. I typically wait till CCL is above .5ppm. I prefer to use liquid shock (Sodium...

I have been having an issue with getting my calcium hardness to increase and maintain at a level of 200. I thought it was my reagents for LaMotte ColorQ, but that didn't quite do it. I have the following readings: FCL 1.74; TCL 1.97; CCL .23; pH 7.3; Alk 97; CH 163; CYA 53 I have added nearly...
