    Dogs in SW pool

    We have a chocolate lab and have had our pool/dog for 4 years. It is also salt water. At first, i tried to keep her from drinking the water...but that was fruitless, because she can drink when we aren't around. It's been four years and there have been no health issues. She too, cannot stand it...

    Intellichlor

    be sure to keep 2-3 gallons of regular bleach on hand for such occasions. Bleach is a great way to get your FC to sanitizing levels fast, without adding CYA. Walmart tends to sell a 10% bleach in their pool section. Whichever store you go with, be sure it is straight bleach....no fillers or...

    Intellichlor IC-60 All Lights Green But Not Producing Enough Chlorine.

    You may want to check the FAS/DPD test kit to see if it is out of date. Also, (something i learned the hard way) be sure you are positioning/holding your R-0871 Reagent bottle straight up and down when adding drops. If you are holding the bottle sideways while adding drops, it is possible your...

    In the first picture, you'll see (kinda deep down) that the blade has deteriorated. The second picture is the other side, but you can see that the particular blade has started wearing down on this side as well.

    IC40 center blade nearly deteriorated

    I would say it had a good life. It worked just fine until this spring. Hopefully the new one lasts as long! :p

    IC40 center blade nearly deteriorated

    My Pentair IC40 has been blinking ‘check cell’ for some time. I’ve cleaned it with the hose and acid according to the instructions. The cell light continues to blink, so I decided to take a closer look. When I got a bright light and shown it into the cell, I noticed the center blade was over...

    Strange lights after pressing 'more' Intellichlor I40

    i guess i should have been clear with my question. Does anyone know why the 20% and 60% lights are lit after pressing the 'more' button?

    Strange lights after pressing 'more' Intellichlor I40

    Good afternoon pool world! as you can see from my picture, after pressing the 'more' button, the 20% and 60% lights are lit. The reason for me doing this, is my 'cell' light is flashing green....which means i need to inspect. i cleaned the cell per Pentair's and TFP's instructions, yet it the...

    If you don't mind, would you be willing to post some pictures of your pool to show the progress of the SLAM? i like following these threads to see the progress and success stories! when taking the pictures, i recommend taking them from the same vantage point....and it helps to take them of the...

    science behind salt-CYA verses liquid bleach/cya connection-cost, health, science

    When done with the SLAM, i would highly recommend a re-test of your salt using the Taylor K-1766 kit. This happened to me (auto-fill being stuck) and i was pouring hundreds of gallons of water down the drain. Before i detected the problem, my salt content lowered more than 1,500...which reduced...
