    Pump Breaker Tripping

    I thought I needed to add the 2 20 that was written. My bad. If its bad breaker, any idea why would it trip immediately if automation cable is connected and work fine without it for a while? Appreciate your guidance!

    Pump Breaker Tripping

    So I have had a weird problem. A few weeks ago, my pool pump breaker tripped. I untripped it and the pump worked fine for a week or so. Helped us pass through the winter storm in Houston. Last Saturday, during heavy rain, the breaker tripped again and kept on tripping until yesterday (it hadnt...

    Normal pH increase rate

    Got it. I think I would also with once a week as it appears my pH currently is increasing by 0.1 per week. Pool Math app said I was in the range so I didnt think about going in the lower range. Hoping lower TA would help reduce the amount of acid required weekly - but since we are in the same...

    Normal pH increase rate

    Hi I do my own testing and have seen over the last 2 months my TA has been 80. My pH seems to keep on increasing. I had brought it down to 7.6 on Sept 28 but today (Nov 16), it is again hovering at 8. Reading the forums, there is consensus that pH would keep on increasing and using acid is a...

    It used to have IntelliChlor as I was able to find a manual for that in the docs the guy had left behind. I did not see any broken hardware though. In the EasyTrouch box, I do see a circuit breaker for IntelliChlor in the panel.

    So do I just need a salt cell to move it back to SWG (so around ~900+install cost or time if DIY). I assume I would need a Pentair equivalent of T-cell 15?

    Yes. Per my understanding, this pool used to have a SWG and the previous owner removed it after freeze couple of years ago and moved to chlorine. The ScreenLogic software also gives an error 'pH/ORP: Communication Lost' which I think is the SWG controller error.

    Thanks for your reassurance. I'm thinking about doing partial drain which should help with CYA, TDS and maybe even copper if it is there. For scaling, think I might wait a few months or even a year before attempting anything so I can get a handle of things more fully and have better idea of...

    Here are some better pictures without the pump on. First few are in sunlight and last ones are at night with pool light on. Ill try an acid to remove the scaling. Thanks for the suggestion. There are some stains on the bottom also - most likely calcium (see zoomed in image). The filters were...

    I can post more pictures later in the evening when the sun is not directly above head. Also 1 at night where it is easier to see the floor. Unfortunately I do not know the color of the plaster. I think its 2 color - one at the shallow end looks different from the main pool (although it can just...

    Thanks for your response. Do I need to get a leak checked or would the leak like this be part of life and no action is required? I am reading about Efflorescence and how to remove it. I think pressure wash should remove it. Attached are more pics of the pool and equipment.
