I am trying to change the target level of my fc to see how much Chlorine to add. It is automatically populated with a 3, and can not be deleted. If I want to put in 7, it shows up as 37.

I have the magnet version. I’ll take some pics for you. I can tell you my robot goes over it without knocking it off. It sticks to the wall pretty tightly.

Yes. I added borax to bring up my ph by .1. Must have been enough with the borates to raise the TA. Should have left it alone.

PH seems to be holding well at 7.6-7, Although my TA went up to 80. Not thrilled about that. Was it the borax that raised my TA? I’m going to leave it for now because it’s still in the safe zone. But it’s been a solid 70 all last season and this.

Borax added. Holding my breath.

Ok. Did a test more carefully. FC 5.5. It’s been open all morning. I’ll adjust it. CC .5 TA 70 PH 7.5 CH 525 CYA 50ish Bor 40 Csi -0.17 Looks like if I just adjust the ph to 7.6 I might be good.

I have some old sodium carbonate ph increaser that I’ve never used. Is that the same as soda ash? Also, I will test my actual borate level in a bit to make sure it’s actually at the 40 level. Then do the ph thing. Does the borax require me to adjust another chemical?

I didn’t want to lower my pH. I wanted to get it up to about 7.8 or nine but it stopped about 7.7-8. So I added the amount that I did because it was supposed to drop it by .2. I may have f’ed up. I should have waited. Now I need to raise it.

Well. Did a quick test if the ph. And it dropped to 7.4. Not too thrilled with that. Still need to test to see what the actual borate level is. I weighed it out correctly I thought. Don’t know why it dropped so much. Should have dropped to 7.6. Didn’t want to have to try to raise it. Ugh. I’ll...

My ph didn’t go up as far as I wanted. But I was sick of waiting. Added 30 lbs of boric acid just now. Should put my borates at about 40, and only lower the ph by .2. So that sounds good to me. I will report back after I test the water in a couple hours.

Have t done the borates yet. I need a day to bring up my ph, and haven’t had a free moment. I want to bring the ph up to 7.9 or 8 before I add.

First a pump question. I can set 3 things in the pump section of my app. The pump. The heater. And the pool fountains. Pump is set higher when fountains are on. Heater is set to 40 GPM. It seems the heater pump level overrides the fountain setting. I feel like it has not always been this...

did a little reading. it seems my current level of -.05 is pretty much neutral, which is where I want to be I believe. My last measurements are as follows. My CH has been slowly drifting down since I switched to tweaking with liquid chlorine last summer. before I discovered TFP, I was...

I will admit that I do not understand CSI. mine is within the recommended level via pool math. -0.05. I will read up on it.

My ph tends to drift up. Especially when I use my water feature. And I like the sound of the other benefits.

Hi all, I've got all the stuff to add borates to the pool on order. having researched, couple questions. I am adding boric acid to the pool. my ph is currently about 7.5. we've had bad weather recently so I havent been able to run the fountains overnight to bring the PH up to 7.6-7.8 where I...

recently opened the pool. got to thinking about things I'd like to improve, and what is really worth the effort or not. 1. found that the ring on the outside of one of my eyeball returns is cracked. in researching replacement pieces, I discovered that there are different, eyehole sizes. I...

Spent some time at those sites. I can’t figure them out. I have the pentair part numbers, but still can’t find the right thing. Maybe my brain just wasn’t working at that moment. I’ll try again later.

exactly what I needed.. thank you!!

anyone know where I can get some bulk O rings for my pump and heater plugs? they were cracking. on amazon, I only found full plug replacements. seems silly to buy a whole new plug when just the o rings need changing.

Looks like it needs 25 gpm to function. Thanks for your help. This gives me a jumping off point.

I do have a heater. It should be in my sig. I will fix that. It’s a mastertemp 250

I know how to adjust. I just don’t know the requirements of the equipment. I do want to run it 24/7.

Yes. ScreenLogic.

Meaning can I set a pump schedule? I can change the pump settings through an app.

Since I’ve owned the pool, it was here when I moved in, I have not messed with the pump settings outside of making sure the fountains were good. I was thinking of lowering my speed to save some energy this summer. My pump has typically been around 2500 rpm, and I run it 24/7. From my reading...

Hey all. After opening this year I see that I need new o rings for both my pump and heater. Is there a good place to get these? Pentair intelliflo and mastertemp 250.

I did not yet. But am thinking of it for next season. Spent money elsewhere this season.
