Hi, I'm currently slamming my pool. My target FC level is 28. Is it true that with high FC levels, PH readings are not accurate? I'm curious because I need to lower my TA, but I can't do that without accurate PH readings. Is it possible to SLAM and lower TA at the same time? Also, my CH is 100...

Hello all, I'm in the process of draining a portion of my pool to correct for high my pool to for high CH. My question is... I understand that the ideal CH is between 350-550 and recommended is between 250-650. I assume it's best to drain enough water for a target CH of 250. Is that accurate? Thanks

Hello everyone, Towards the end of last year, I started to get this staining above the water line in my pool. I accidentally let my CH get too high because I wasn't doing the test correctly and I believe that's what led to my problem. I'm curious if anyone has a solution to remove this staining...

Hello all, This is my first pool so it's also my first time transitioning to fall. In the last few weeks, I've had to do two doses of baking soda to raise my TA. I presume this is due to less evaporation which equals less auto-fill. My city water on average has a TA of 160. So during the summer...

Hi there, This is my first year with a pool... I've been religiously having my water test done at my local pool store while also testing my water using my TF-PRO kit. I was doing this initially to compare the results. Now that I'm comfortable doing the home test, it's time to decide what to do...

Hello, I'm curious if there's any reason why I can't go ahead and add borates to my pool while I'm still working on lowering my TA to 60. I've gotten it down from 140 to 100. Should I just hold odd until my TA is at 60 or can I go ahead and add the borates. Thanks Jeff

Hello, I had my IC-20 installed today and I have questions about the green lights.. The only way to get the green lights to illuminate is to have Super Chlorination on. They will all be lit up. As soon as I have super turned off, all the lights turn off. On Screenlogic I have my pool output to...

Hello, I'm sure the answer is out their but I can't find it.... I'm trying to set a schedule for my Pentair system that will run from 8PM-8AM with the first 3 hours at 2500RPM and the remaining 9 hours at 1800RPM. It seems so simple, but I cant figure it out. Is this something I set up with...
