    High acid demand and salt question

    Good to know, hoping this does not happen since it is less than 3 months old. Now that I have the K-1766, I can keep a better eye on the actual level and see when the IC40 reports low salt in comparison to what I actually have. Water temp has been between 76-80, with a couple days up to 84.

    High acid demand and salt question

    Thanks, just wanted to make sure that was expected, so will continue to monitor and add. Good to know about cleaning, pb recommended cleaning every 3 months, so I was going to look into this on 6/1. I'm sure there are some good threads on here showing how to open it up, so will give it a shot...

    High acid demand and salt question

    Hi all, new pool owner, just over 2 months in managing my water (filled on 3/7) and with some help on a previous thread, I've gotten my numbers where I want them with a few exceptions/questions. My pb had my pool mode set to run the vs pump wide open (3300rpm) which had the spa spillover and the...

    Turned off the SWG for 24 hours and FC went down to 5.5. I only had about a pound and a half of stabilizer left, I added it, but cya still at 50. Pool math said I needed a little over 2 lbs, so will continue trying to get the cya closer to 70. I’ve turned the swg back on today and set it at 20%...

    Good to know. I did some testing and at 1650 rpm, water is no longer spilling over. Also I can manually shut off the bubblers, I remeber him showing me that. Going to have them come out this week and discuss some of these things, thanks again for the details.

    Ideally would want to run at lower rpm for energy savings most of the time. I’m going to go and lower rpms and find where there is no overflow at all. I’d like to have the bubblers on all the time if possible, but don’t need the overflow all the time. If I could have a low speed and higher speed...

    Pool was in pool mode when photo was taken. Yes, bubbler and overflow have always been on together. From Left to right in photo, 1st pipe has no marking, second is SOF, spa overflow I assume, third is BL, have a note that is bubblers, and last one just has R, not sure about that one. I know the...

    Other than bubblers on tan ledge, the overflow is our one “water feature.” However, I’d like to not run the pump wide open all the time. If I could set it up where I can hit an option on the app that would increase the rpm to make overflow come on, that would be nice. I’ve attched some...

    Yes, it is an easy touch. Here is a picture of the pipes, assuming this is what is meant by returns. Pool guy labeled them, so I can respond with that info as well I went down 10 rpm at a time and 2720 is when the waterfall starts running down the side, 2750 is where I have it now with the...

    It is a pentair system and I have the ScreenLogic app. I do know that when we turn the spa on, there is an electric actuator (not sure if right word) that closes the valve that fills the spa so the heated water does not overflow

    New to water balance with high FC

    Good to know. When I was in the app looking for the RPM, I hit something that ramped it down in the 1500 range on accident and noticed the spa overflow stopped working properly, basically running down the face instead of overflowing. We have a spa that is higher than the pool and once I turned...

    New to water balance with high FC

    Thanks, when I’m going to be responsible for something, I like to know as much detail as possible! So to turn off the ic40, I just set the percentage to 0 via the ScreenLogic app, will that work? I will work on the cya level as well. Not sure about the pump rpm, I’ll have to check the app or...

    Thanks for the advice! I have been trusting the screen logic app telling me the salt level, but I will pick up this test as well if it’s not a great idea to trust the app.

    Good morning, new pool owner learning the ropes of water balance. I’ve been testing water myself for about a month and a half now and in the last week my chlorine has shot up and looking for a the proper plan to lower it (if needed). We filled the pool on 3/7 and the PB had only added salt and...
