    Pentair Valve Actuator Acting Reversed

    I have the Pentair Intellicenter, and noticed this year when opening the pool the Pentair Laminar Deck Jets were turning on even though I didn't have that feature activated. When looking at the IntelliValve the programming looks to have switched on me. How do I adjust it so the when the Laminar...

    Started SLAM process to start the year off and WAY over shot.

    Thank you all, I didn't get a chance to read the forums this morning, but will test again later tonight using some of the suggested methods, i.e., 5mL. Also I'll go a little slower with the drops, I usually squeeze slowly and let them fall under their weight with the bottle vertical -- I think...

    Started SLAM process to start the year off and WAY over shot.

    I am thinking I lost count or something along the way, going to test again in the AM. I’m using TF Pro and couple other items for the borate testing following a process i found on here. Purchased the BTB and Mannitol powder and doing the 50ml test. For FASDPD I do the 10ml test.

    Started SLAM process to start the year off and WAY over shot.

    I opened the pool this year all by my lonesome this time with it being our 3rd opening, and not being present for the first one. The water was little cloudy with not too much gunk in the pool. My first readings came in at the below: FC = 1 PH = 7.8 TA = 80 CYA = 70 CH = 250 Salt = 3600...

    I think I went too far on my test kit storage

    It's got function too! I have too many extra things now too for testing, titration stuff for borates and phosphates. I live in farm land so I understand my phosphates will spike. Unless I understood wrong, but the borate stuff takes up a lot of space -- lol.

    Question... I've been doing some trial and error while I keep my SLAM going I failed after closing my auto-cover. The weird thing is I passed OCTL 3x when I left the pool open, but each time I close the cover for the night I fail. I was thinking maybe I pour some bleach on top of the cover with...

    Good advise thank you! So with the TFP way the Ph should stablize and the benefits for borate minimized. I will say the silky water part kf it caught me a lot too, lol.

    IntelliCenter2 Migration to Pentair Home

    I attempted to migrate either late last year or early this year, but ran into issues with it not accepting my email. I called and opened a ticket, but the issue still hasn’t been fixed. The issue appears to be that they do some type of form validation on email input to only accept certain TLDs...

    I'm reading the Salt level off the Pentair thing - the times I checked before it was accurate. It's showing 3600 now -- I may have missed it. TA (ALK) Test was done with the waterguru. I just did it again with Pentair R151186 4-Way All-in-One OTO Test Kit and was reading 180. TY for the note...

    Liquid as of late but I was adding HTH Pool Care Shock Advanced before starting or reading about TFP. Was told liquid isn't as good by pool store... I'm assuming because the price is less or something.
