    Help setting up Pentair Intellichem, IntelliChlor & CO2 Kit

    Thanks for the swift reply Jason. The set points are 7.6pH and 750ORP. The flow switch has the inlet immediately after the filter and the return after the heat pump and Intellichlor, prior to CO2 injection. I noticed if the heat pump piping is on bypass there's insufficient drop to indicate...

    Help setting up Pentair Intellichem, IntelliChlor & CO2 Kit

    Tried asking A Pro on poolfyi.com, but no response to date. Does anyone have experience seting up this combination, particularly the CO2?

    Plumbing/Operation question

    Plumbing/Operation question

    Same new pool as before but we're laying out the equipment, and I'm looking for advice regarding valving the suction side. I have a dedicated suction line for cleaning, should I prepare valving to shut off just the skimmers when I want to clean or should I shut off the drain as well??

    Advice for pool finish application

    Thanks for the responses, I watched the video which is pretty clear showing the process, now I'll spend another 6 months looking for spiked shoes and bent trowels, just joking. The one thing Mexicans are good at is improvising. In a while (that's manaña) I'll post some photos to show how it went.

    Advice for pool finish application

    Hi I'm getting towards the end of a six month long project building my pool in SE Mexico and for my sins decided to use a quartz finish. I'm looking for any advice I can get regarding the application of Kristal Krete. I have seen videos from Diamond Brite which I assume is a similar proceedure...

    Thanks for the prompt response duraleigh, will start fitting the floor in the equipment room now. Decided to put the equipment indoors as we're on the beach and the atmosphere's very corrosive. Will undoubtedly be back shortly for more help. Really pleased I found this site.
