I was surprised also because I’ve used that amount before at opening and it didn’t do it. But my CH was super low the first time because I balance CH last when I open the pool. So my saturation index would have been different. I think I made the issue worse also because I turned the pump higher...

Thank you for replying. I didn’t think there was anything else to do but wanted to make sure i wasn’t missing something with the test results. Good to know anything over 7.0 is fine.

Our pool has been open for about 2 months and the water has been perfectly clear with no issues. Yesterday I tested and the pH was on the low side so I added 8oz soda ash because I was out of Borax. Since it was such a small amount I just broadcast it over the deep end and it created an instant...

We had a pool build gone bad situation 4 years ago. The pool is great now but the final wall fittings were never placed on. I'm not even sure if the PB used the correct return fitting at all but since it's in concrete what's done is done. The eyeball ring fits directly onto it so we never...

OK I have another question. I am a few days into the water balancing act with a new pool and currently trying to get CYA up and FC down. I've gotten the CYA from 0 to 10 in the past 48 hour and I just added more. I am going slowly because I am afraid of overshooting my goal of 60-70. The shape...

Thank you for the replies! I have a blue auto cover on the pool and the only time it will be uncovered is the couple hours we plan to use it in the late afternoon. My reasoning for wanting to go with a lower CYA, if ok with a swg, is the target FC will be lower according the the chart. If this...

Sorry if this has been covered many times before. I just got my SWG up and running today on a new pool build and I am balancing the water for the first time. Here are my current readings using the TF-100 test kit (which i LOVE). Everything looks good except the CYA and the CH which are both low...

WOW!...there was no comparison. It took me longer to get the program and firmware update installed on my computer than to program the pool. It's all done and working perfectly from my computer and phone. Thank you so much for mentioning the screenlogic. I wish I had not wasted my time with the...

So all the initial programming can be done with the Screenlogic 2? I have it but I haven't set it up yet because I thought the Easy Touch controller would be easier. Thanks for the information.

Following this thread. I am in the same boat trying to program my Easy Touch. The instruction manuals provided have been less than helpful.

I hope it is ok to reply to an old thread. Did you set up your bubblers to the automation yourself? I'm trying to get our 3 bubblers set up and I cannot figure out how to control them independent of the intellibrite 5G pool light. Do you control both through the lights menu?

Sorry that picture is so giant. Didn't know how to resize it. Anyways, ours is hard to see because of the water so I just got a generic picture of it. But you can see the narrow ledge that goes around the pool. It's just wide enough to step on to get out But not wide enough for the robot to...

Does anyone have a robot that can navigate up the safety ledge? If so, what make/model? I have read many of the posts and am looking at the Dolphin supreme M500, the Oasis Z5, or the Dolphin premier (private label with 3 yr warranty) but I worry about the ledge so I wanted to throw the question...

Our pool was not completed in time for swim season. So we are filling and closing it at the same time. I have read this link to closing an inground pool Pool School - Closing an In Ground Pool but I wanted to see if anything changes since it will be closed before anyone has actually used it...

I used the pool math calculator for our size hot tub and it says I need 1.1oz of cya to raise the level from 0-20. I added that amount to a large cup of water but it isn't dissolving right away. Should I go ahead and add it like it is or do I need to do something different? - - - Updated - - -...

Thank you. When you say the CYA will be fully dispersed in a week, do you mean it will take this long for the levels to come up so I should wait to retest?

Thank you for replying so quickly. I was able to get the pH back into range and I will check everyday to make sure it stays there. The strips were showing pH was ok so I hadn't been messing with it. Glad I have the accurate test now. It sounds like I need to stop using the swg and switch to...

Before we fill our new pool for the first time next week, I thought I would get comfortable with the test kit and pool math calculator using our freestanding hot tub with SWG. Here are my numbers FC= 7 pH= 8.2 TA= 90 CYA= 0 We had been using test strips prior to getting the TF-100 and it says...

We are currently under construction on an inground pool build in Grand Junction, Colorado. I have been reading many of the forum posts on various topics but decided I am finally at a point I need to ask specific questions. From the original pool builder who was fired due to concrete concerns we...
