    Freeze Preparations (TX, LA, GA, AL, FL, etc)

    Hi Bowser, I pulled the plugs last night and experienced the same issue. See my post # 96... I think it will probably be fine as long as the pumps running.

    Freeze Preparations (TX, LA, GA, AL, FL, etc)

    I pulled the drain plugs on the booster pump while the main pump was off and a small amount of water drained as expected. Once I turned the main pump back on, water was continuously draining from the booster pump. Does that mean I have flow through the booster even when its off? I now recall...

    Freeze Preparations (TX, LA, GA, AL, FL, etc)

    I am planning on relying on wrapping exposed pipes / covering the equipment pad and freeze protection. I will drain components if I lose power. Quesiton, should I preemptively drain the booster pump for the pressure side cleaner? It currently only runs 1.5 hrs, 1x per day.

    Skimmer float valve.

    Do you have an autofill? If yes, is it activated by the float valve?

    IC40 Salt Reading 9900

    My IC40 salt level has been creeping up almost weekly. I have repeatedly tested my salt level with my TF100 and I am constantly in the mid 3000s. Is this something I should worry about?

    Boric Acid Timing & Storage Questions

    Hello all, pebble pool completed in January 2022, is there any reason not to add Borates this soon? Is there an optimum timeframe or temperature threshold I should wait for? Additionally, can I store granular boric acid, CYA, calcium chloride and salt outside in the same deck box?
