I've ordered Jack's magic purple stuff. Would the filter fiber stuff help to remove some of the metals?

I'm reading that treated wood contains copper as a preservative. This is most likely the culprit, we're installing a deck around the pool and sawdust blew everywhere.

I've been going back over my calendar trying to look at what was different. Is it possible for fertilizer to get into the pool with the cover being closed? The coping is almost a foot above ground level at the lowest point.

I've read that my city does add copper to the water to help control the zebra mussel population.

The startup crew added 2 gallons of MA ( decrease of pH by 7.1) initially. We had to complain for 3 days until they came back out to raise it back up. Otherwise, I've kept the pH above -0.3 CSI

The past 2 weeks my calcium test results have been abnormally high, jumped from ~460 to 550. I also had to retest due to color indicator not changing. This past weekend, we noticed blonde hair turning green. I took water samples to Leslie's for metal testing. Pool water was 1.2ppm, hose water...

I figured out how to change the home position for the actuator. (In Auto Mode, hold red and yellow buttons down together while the light moves to yellow. You still have to program the numbers in the same order, but it switches to where the 2nd number is the home position.) This will make...

We're on the same page. A is spa jets. 0 turns on pool jets.

It's rubbed off some, spa jets are to the left

It doesn't turn on the spa jets at a high rpm. Turning off Pool Valve only turns the spa jets on. Is there a chance the actuator is set up backwards? I was watching tutorial on programming the actuator. For our pool, 24 is spa jets and 0 is the pool jets.

Pressing the Spa mode was an easy way to turn on the spa jets and increase the pump speed at the same time. The name of the button I push isn't really relevant. It's just the path with minimal friction to turn the spa jets on and increase pump speed all from the top of the dashboard. Is that...

I created a feature circuit "Pool Valve". I assigned valve A to it. When Pool Valve is on, the pool jets are on. Spa Mode no longer turns on the actuator to the spa jets. Activating the spa jets is now in multiple steps vs. one. Please let me know if I'm missing something.

That worked to transition between different rpm's in Pool Mode, THANK YOU!!! I'm still trying to work out the valve issue. I'll have more time later this afternoon. Thank you for your help! :)

Just want to make sure I'm clear, My action items: Schedule "Pool" 24/7. Remove Pool Circuit from the Cl2 ON and Move Pool Water feature groups. Make these groups just regular features. When I use the spa feature groups, it will change the actuator to spa because the highest rpms wins?

Good memory! The aux circuits Pool and Spa change the actuator valve. I have them both program for pump speeds 1600 and 2850, respectively.

Thanks ajw22. I've used this website before, but I remember it listing Circuits at the top menu bar. I'm not able to find where to access the circuit details today. Features just lists them, but there's not anything to click on to edit them.

The only actuator is on valve A (image attached in first reply post). As of about an hour ago, the Settings in the pentair pool grayed out and I'm not able to get into then right now.

Thanks Jim. Where should the other actuator be installed? Additional details: pool and spa are on the same pump. It's all the same body of water, not an actual separate pool and spa.

Cl2 is pump speed 1850. I included an image of the feature circuits and assigned pump speed. "Pool" and "Spa" are the circuits that change the actuator. How do I assign an actuator valve to the feature circuits? I thought I was doing that with the feature groups (images in original post)...

Background: Intellicenter version 3.002. Pool builder and pool school tech are not knowledgeable about this system and not helpful to set up. I'm thankful for this forum and have utilized it to help set up the feature circuits, groups and schedules. I have contacted Pentair support for this...

Got it up and running, thanks everyone!

Should I proceed?

After looking through the link posted, I don't think our control box is set up for automation yet. Can this be done by the pool school person or is an electrician needed?

I keep getting this error message when I try to log into my account.

We have the Pentair Intellicenter control panel. Pictured is manual and equipment to set up the inside components. The manual says the protocol adapter is needed. Our PB said he spoke to Pentair and that it's not needed. The person he hired to do our pool school believes it is. We've plugged in...

I worked on getting my TA down this week. Currently TA 70 and pH 7.7.
