Preface my comment that I’m no expert but it seems like the tile to the right of the opening is a fair amount higher than the bond beam. Is the bond beam level all the way around? In other words is the tile the same height above the bond beam everywhere? If so, could the tile be lowered...

Agree, for me it seems more often than not that it doesn’t refresh.

I upgraded and regret it (can’t go back) so if I could do it all over I wouldn’t upgrade until and if forced. The current issue getting my goat is the app doesn’t refresh status after turning a feature on or off. I usually have to close the app and reopen it.

Looks fantastic! What did you decide for the fire bowls?

Swing it did! For my dry run I dropped pH down to 7.2. It climbed to 7.6 after one day, to 7.9 after two days, and 8.0 after three days. When I was managing pH between 7.8 and 8.0 it would take about 12oz of acid a day and climb 0.2. It took 48oz of acid to get it down to 7.2 and climbed...

I asked folks at Marina Pool and Spa about that. They said there are only two filters and made the comment that those three stamps are misleading.

Question on managing pH and chlorine while on short 3-day vacation. pH - The pH has been rising 0.2 per day pretty regularly for the last few weeks so I was thinking of getting the pH down to 7.2 before I leave figuring it won't get past 8.0 before I'm back. Is there anything to be concerned...

Read this, including the known problems. https://www.troublefreepool.com/wiki/index.php?title=Pentair_Intelliph I don’t have one but considering it.

With the dynamic charting tools available now they work very well on phones/apps. Here is one for humidity and temp for my humidor. You can slide left or right and pinch to zoom out or expand to zoom in. It automatically adjusts the ranges to show the max, min, and averages. Granted this is...

So how did you remove the mud? How easy was it to clean the filter?

I haven’t really watched it do much of it’s run. Yesterday I was watching for a few minutes when it was near the end of its cycle and saw some of the same behavior. It hit the wall at an angle so it didn’t go up. Just backed down for a few feet. Made a turn and went a different direction...

I just ordered the fine filter from Marina Pool and Spa, $60 including shipping. I traded messages asking if there are three available filters and they confirmed there is only the regular and the fine (although first email response they called it “ultra-fine”). The regular filter never seemed...

As I’ve been been able to get in the pool more with the temps warming up I’ve noticed a few things and hoping for a bit of advice. In several inside corners of the steps and benches some of the pebble is really rough. Not the entire corner, just some pebbles. I’d like to knock them off with...
