I just don't know whether this issue is really important, but I believe it's better to ask first than to find out later I could have made a better choice. The shell of my old Tagelus 100D cracked & couldn't be repaired. And it took a LONG time to find a source for my preferred replacement...

As warned in advance here on TFP, my efforts to repair the cracked tank of my Tagelus TA-100D sand filter failed (FYI: I filled the crack with JB Weld & pressure-cinched the tank tightly for 3 days; then sanded inside & out, cleaned with acetone, & installed fiberglass patches (4 layers) inside...

In a different thread, I got some GREAT help completing the wiring for an Easytouch 4 control system I installed for my 20K gal pool with an IntelliFlo 2 VST (3HP) pump & IC40 SWCG. Turned it - worked great, BUT I discovered a crack in the old Tagelus TA-100D (w/ 2" pvc piping) sand filter...

I hate to have to ask for help on this because I've read so many other posts about it, but I somehow still am getting it wrong. After my old IC40 died, it seemed like a good time to get some automation options for the future, so I bought an EasyTouch 4PSC-IC40. The IC40 went right to work -...

My IC40 (v1.06) has finally reached it's max life (flashing "Life" light, salt reading WAY low), so I know the IC40 cell needs to be replaced. However, I think I need to do more than just that. When we replaced the original single speed pump a couple of years ago, the installer wired the new...

I just read the thread on A Chemical Way of Calculating Pool Volume, including the various comments about its complexity, color matching issues, and the required amounts of chemicals and water. I don't claim to have ANY expertise on this, but I do have an irregular-shaped pool and curiosity...

My pool pump pulls water through three valves = I call then East (E), West (W) and Center (C). "Center" is from the two floor drains, "East" and "West" are skimmers. Today I noticed that the East and West are pulling water in differently. The East is very active and has a really good flow...

Does anyone know whether either the HTH "Salt Cell Saver" or the Clorox "Salt Cell Protector" does anything good -- or anything bad -- to/for Salt Cells or to/for the pool? From their labels: - the Clorox (liquid) product says it contains "Polymaleic Acid and Phosphoric Acid" - the HTH...

Our pool is roughly 20,000 gallons and is about 11 years old (we've been here 6 years). It has an IntelliChlor IC40 (early model) chlorine generator, a Tagleus TA-60D sand filter (I changed out the sand last year), and a Pentair WhisperFlo (model 0119774) 2HP pump. The pump itself is original...

Our "freeform' pool has a custom mesh safety cover. It's the type where the mesh fabric is sewn to a 3' x 3' grid of heavy-duty "straps" that extend horizontally and vertically across the pool. Each of those straps is tied down to an anchor at either end. Those anchors are positioned about 3'...

The home we bought several years ago has a 20,000 gallon pool with an Intellichlor IC40 SWG that never seemed to work correctly. It was always reporting insufficient salt, while the chemical tests kept showing there was plenty (3500+) of salt in the pool. So our pool service used stabilized...
