So I made a huge error this spring with my power washer. I have cleaned my decks without incident the past two years, but I’m guessing due to rusting/partial clogging of the nozzle I didn’t notice, I ended up etching squiggly lines everywhere. The techobloc pavers I was able to salvage with...

I have a 2 year old pool with Pentair EasyTouch automation and an Intellichlor IC40 SWG. On opening the SWG will stay on for a while when the system starts up in the morning, or the Easytouch is reset, or I shut off then turn on the main pool breaker. All the lights subsequently go off. The...

Hi, all. I'm starting a new thread for this. Some of you may remember my install that started out about this time last year - I have a new Barrier Reef 14x30 Outback Dundee Lounger that opened late last spring. There are some finish flaws at the bottom of the pool where either in manufacturing...

My cleaner cleans fine, but am I missing something with the app? The "official" app is the Prowler 930 app, and as far as I can tell it offers no functionality other than manually driving - i.e., you can't even set cycle time. I tried the MyDolphin app which seems to do more but it doesn't...

When I was specifying equipment I took the advice to upsize the SWG. So I upsized to an IC40. I currently have output set at 2% and the Intelliflo is set at 1650 RPM, which is the minimum to keep the SWG from throwing a flow error. My free chlorine is still at 9. I have the pump running...

The Intelliflo VSF on my new pool reprimes itself every once in awhile - no idea how often, I just catch it once in awhile. This morning it was retrying to re-prime and failing over and over. Even though the water level was above the skimmer weir, it wasn't high enough to keep air from being...

My pool guys literally just turned maintenance of my new white fiberglass pool over to me this week, though it has been in the ground a couple of months. There are some weird geometric stains in the deep end that don’t come up with brushing. They almost look like something scratched it. I...

I am watching YouTube pool school videos and trying to read the manual. But still confused. My Intelliflo VSF was throwing a power fault - figured out by searching TFP that it was probably wired improperly to the Easy Touch relay rather than the breaker. The service guy told me I was wrong...

Hi, all. My pool is sloooowwwly getting finished. One issue is that my newly independent pool guys understand construction and wiring but don't really understand EasyTouch programming, so nothing automatic is set yet and it's still on Service mode and ScreenLogic is still off. They supposedly...

I have a new Barrier Reef fiberglass pool where the equipment was just been started up, there have been no chemistry adjustments to date. The pool builder seems in no hurry to do anything except shock it (and it's not that green) until he's done, and is not in a terrible hurry to get there...

EDIT: Details of final pool design and contract (NOT with River Pools) are at post 52. Construction starts in earnest at post 66. * * * * * Hey, all. I’ve been around here (and the predecessor forum) for close to 2 decades - I’ve built 2 gunite pools but haven’t had one for 5 years at this...

I have an old style Aquapure 1400, with the square cell and the threaded sensor. It started giving the sensor error codes so I replaced the sensor. The unit is an old style with the removable plastic cover and, apparently, the AKC 13 board attached to the front cover. The tri-sensor adapter...

I just opened my pool and am having trouble with the salt readings. Test strips (a couple of years old) show the salt level at 3540, which is surprising since that's about where I thought I left it last year before closing. The reading on the Aquapure SWG shows 2400. The pool temperature is...

I have a new-this-summer Marquis plaster pool, about 33,000 gallons, with a Jandy Aquapure. FC about 7, CC -0-, pH 7.7ish, CH mid-200s, CYA 60, TA 120-130, salt 3300. Also, unbeknowst to me the poolbuilder added Mineral Springs salt rather than plain salt, so I also have a borate concentration...
