I too am fighting BA for the first time in 4 years. I am running a SWG and am in the middle of Siper Chlorination. I went ahead and brushed the spots with a wire algae brush and then added RAM Poly-algacide. I then brushed the entire pull down, and am about to go vaccume the pool. I also...

Well, we started up our pool back in September and thanks to all the help from this site, I thought I knew what to do to avoid any issues. I keep the PH under control with acid etc... Well in January, we had a few small issues that I had to call my PB to come out and fix, one being the...

So my Pentair Intellichlor is obviously not working as the salt levels are all over the place and now the service light is on and I am still getting a check flow / pcb error on my intellitouch controller. I have cleaned the cell and the filter. The cell itself says the flow is good.....AHHH...

I noticed my cell light was flashing green, so I came inside and looked at the Intellichlor menu on my touch pad...I had a "check flow / pbc" message, so I figured I would go ahead and clean the cell to see if there was any scale build up. After removing the cell, I saw no debris or scale build...

On initial start up back in September, I had my SWG set at 60% output and was running about 5ppm at that setting. When the weather started cooling down, I noticed that the chlorine levels shot up dramatically...to about 10ppm. I had about .5 in FC. I Super Chlorinated the pool (100% SWG for 24...

Ok, so PB finally got around to grinding down the flagstone on my spa overflow today...came home to flagstone dust all in the pool and the water is brown....I started brushing the steps and woof...brown dust just disipates like baby powder. The spa is even worse, I turned the suction to full...

ok, I am trying to make this new pool run a t the most efficient rate possible. Currently my pump runs 12 hours at 2100 rpm. The first 3 hours my pool is on, the Pentair Legend runs for 3 hours at 2300 rpm... 1. Is there a minimum RPM setting for the Legend to actually work (can't find this...

OK, so the spill over on the spa trickle more than spills over. Obviously the higher I run pump, the water is pushed into the spa at a faster rate and hence a little more oompf on the spill over, but still not what I expect. PB is coming bac out to grind the flagstone down a little, but I am...

Well after the first week of running the Pentair Intelliflo 24/7 on High speed, I have got the Intellitouch programmed with the following speed assignements - Pool runs from 8am - 8pm Polaris Legend cleaner runs from 8am-11am Pool pump speed - 2100 RPM Pump speed when cleaner is on -2300...

Aside from the few little touch ups and minor fixes, the pool is done and we have been swimming all week. I can't keep the kids out :-D ! Here are a few finished pics. Thanks to everyones comments through the process. This site has been fantastic! Thanks SeanB <a></a> <a></a> <a></a> <a></a>

Well, I noticed after start up on Tuesday, they didn't fire up the heater, so I went out last night and turned it on myself and it fired up. After about 1 - 2 min. The service heater light came on. So I shut it down and then did it again. Same thing, it fires up and says heating, then the...

Ok, tested the water for the first time today since partial startup yesterday and remainder this morning. Here are my results FC - 7.5 CC - 0 TC - 7.5 PH - 7.8 TA - 180 CH - 180 CYA - 20- I could still see black dot in tube after completely full though it was faint. Any immediate advice...

Trying to decide between Pebble Sheen and Wet Edge Technology's Primera Stone. Does anyone out there have any experience with the Primera Stone? I really like the idea of the product, but don't know enough people who have used it. As well, I like the Pebble Sheen but still have the concern...

Ok, so we are a couple of weeks away (hopefully) to filling the pool. I have been lurking around reading about BBB etc... and how the PH will be real high as the Pebble/Plaster cures. I grew up with a pool, but I only remember putting chloring tablets in the skimmers, dipping the test kit in...

OK, I told Tagprod and KTDave I would post this video from the game Biggio hit 3000. I will apologize ahead of time for the low quality (digital still camer) and not such good filming, but how often do you get to see a legend make history with your family and try and keep your composure? Yeah...

Just like the Stevie Ray Vaughn song...we are having a Texas Flood. Man, 2 weeks ago we signed the contract for our new pool with nothing done due to the rain. It has rained 45 days straight in this great state of ours....before too much longer, we won't need to have a pool in the backyard...

It is now done...contract signed last night and bulid to start hopefully week after next. After all the excitement of the design process and the idea of having a pool installed, I find myself a nervous wreck in regards to the cost. I guess once the hole is full of water and the kids are...

Well, we are about 1 week away from final design and contract, but here are a few pics before the most recent design change. I am new here to TFP, but am sure I will have several questions over the next few months for you guys.
