I have a new cartridge filter enroute to replace my DE filter and a new VS pump when it comes off backorder. I know the cartridge filter is going to have a different inlet/outlet configuration and the height of the filter fittings will change. Currently, my DE filter has a push/pull valve that...

I've been chlorinating my pool using liquid chlorine since taking ownership last year. Is there any reason to purchase a salt water test (K-1766) to compliment my K-2006 test kit?

Here are my current values: PH=7.8 TA=70 CH=325 CYA=50 FC=9.0 CC=0 Temp=64.8 CSI=-0.08 PoolMath claims my pools CH is out of the ideal range, but I also understand chasing CSI is a mostly a wasted effort because the impacts of over-saturated or under-saturated is a long game. My question is...

A couple of issues I’m experiencing. 1. The app reports no logs when I have almost daily logs saved. 2. I am unable to select temp from the Home Screen to track water temp.

Here are my current values: PH=7.8 TA=80 CH=325 CYA=60 FC=10 CC=0 Temp=53.2 CSI=-0.13 I'm likely overthinking and trying to target a neutral CSI too much, but my question is should I aim to increase my CH to 375-400 since the pool temp is going to continue dropping to give more flexibility in...

I'm looking to replace my pool filter in the spring and I'm trying decide between 60 sf or 80 sf size for my pool. Obviously, pool size is a function of the filter area but what else needs to be considered? I'm pretty much sold on the Pentair Quad DE filter. I currently have a single speed pump...

I currently have a 230 volt 2 hp Pentair Challenger pool pump and I'm interested in replacing it since it's nearing the end of its useful life. I assume it's an obvious choice to go with a similar voltage and hp variable speed pump. Is this accurate? If so, would I just set my current pump...

New pool owner since July 2023. When I took ownership the CYA (180) and CH (800) were both very high. I assume the previous owner used chlorine pucks and cal hypo to disinfect since the FC was likely maintained at 3, not considering the FC/CYA ratio. I switched to liquid chlorine and have...

Took over the pool from the previous owner and now that the weather is getting a little bit cooler I want to look at water replacement options to reduce my CYA, currently at 120. I can either purchase/rent a submersible pump, use backwash to waste through my DE filter, or fill and use to...

Good morning TFP. New here and looking for help diagnosing and removing buildup around my spa return feature. Any help would be appreciated.
