Moved from the Deep End thread: The Zero Alkalinity Acid Treatment Wanted to confirm the numbers calculated above. Using the Pool Math App It shows that much more Acid is needed to get to Zero Alkalinity and 4.5 pH. Starting with 100ppm of Alkalinity and 7.4 of pH 4 gallons of 31.45% acid will...

I will be installing LC/Acid Injection using Stenner pumps. Currently I have the Aux controlling a relay that sends power to the pumps for Injection. For added precaution was thinking of adding a flow switch prior to the injection points and having the signal (one of the Aux signals) be opened...

Thanks everyone. I will be removing that section in Blue and I will remove the Chlorinator and replace it with the injection points for LC and Acid. Considering adding the ability to add a Flow Switch post the install prior to the injection points so will be plumbed in. So far I am running...

I believe I have my Smart JVA up and running, however wanted to confirm what I am experiencing. The following thread was very helpful. https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/jandy-smartjva-module-how-to-get-it-working.178175/#post-1581908 It seems like the Smart JVA works like a manual valve...

Had these on my phone, not sure if provide a better perspective

Bama Rambler, I'll follow up with some pics if not today tomorrow when better light. I did provide a 2d image I made up, if it helps. mas985, my spa spills-over into the pool, however I hear ya b/c if the LC/Acid are being injected and the spa mode/similiar is set it will only hit the spa. I...

Setting up to add Chemical Injection into my system for LC + Acid. Here is a picture of my current plumbing + drawing I drew up. The circled area in Blue is where I plan to add the injection points, however looking to get suggestions based on my plumbing and those experienced in the matter...

My Controller on the wall is a RS-4, however I had upgraded my PowerCenter with an iQ20-RS with Rev T.1 code. Can’t remember the Rev of code I had replaced but I purchased the home and it was built in 2004 timeframe. Even with upgrade, the total of JVAs is 4, but per TFP I can see how my options...

Will look into those options. I found the following Relay that I will most likely run with (The SPDT) version. It has a flange mount I can probably use one of the existing screws to secure it and I would just need to buy the connectors to wire in...

Thanks for your help, I hadn't got to the SPDT vs DPST part yet so I got ya. OK now it's time for me to order parts and then measure twice cut once :)

Hi Jim, Something like this?

Thanks jblizzle, that was my findings as well, however wanted to confirm. If I wanted to expand the number of actuators what would be the typical path someone would need to take. I currently have only 1 open, however looking to control more than one item. Also am I able to run them in parallel...

I have been using TFP for almost 4yrs now and have had wonderful results with pool chemistry! Now it's time to tackle automation :) Installed an iAqualink system over 3 years ago and then replaced the pool pump to Intelliflo VSF after previous one died. Will be following instructions on TFP to...

#SunnyOptimism, thanks for the advice. I enabled the Solar heat + our Arch Sheer. So far so good, not sure when I would actually be able to claim victory, so no dancing yet. I have been maintaining the Chlorine to not go below 5ppm. Based on the Chlorine/CYA Chart by Chem Geek min FC = 3.7 and...

After the measurement above I swept the pool. All the areas with Steps had what looks like a small amount of dusting. Then I vacuumed the pool. I needed to run some errands today which was not going to allow me to be on top of the pool so I adjusted Ph to 7.4 and added a Qt of Chlorine (not sure...

At Sunset I measured FC = 22.5 (45 drops) CC = 0.5 At Sunrise the next day FC = 22 (44 drops) CC = 0 0.5 or less CC + OCLT pass. The Water no longer has a green tint and is blue but I would not say it is clear (cloudy and more so towards deep end). I will brush it, vacuum it and clean the...

Thank you both for your advice and guidance. The CYA at 40-50 could be b/c I haven't been using the in-line chlorinator since I started the BBB method and measuring using the Taylor kit (k2006). I have read the articles but re-reading has helped with my understanding of what the Chlorine levels...

Blessed to have to have recently purchased a home with a pool, but cursed with some sort of Algae or other problem. I have been battling with a green ish tinted pool for quite some time, however I am slowly getting better and need some guidance to better understand the problem. With the Taylor...
