Based on your suggestions I started with 2ppm and after monitoring I found that I was dialed in with my IC40 set at 37% which would indicate FC demand of 1.7. My CYA is currently 50 and I have been getting a FC reading at the end of the day of 7. I do intend to bump up the CYA some. This has...

24/7 most of the time. If it is just me or my wife in the pool I generally don't take it out. It is out if there is anyone else. I will also take it out sometimes if I am not going to be around for an extended period of time because it can get stuck in a couple of spots. It is also out when...

In my pool the Betta hits the coping all the time when the water level is high. Most of the upper housing is very scratched up from it. I didn't notice this until the damage was done. I am on a well so when we are nearing drought conditions I am hesitant to put water in the pool and the level...

I found another issue. At 5:00 this morning I noticed that all of the lights controlled by the IntelliCenter were on. I tried turning them off with the phone app, but while they turned off they came right back on. It had gotten cold (34d) overnight and I noticed that the freeze protection was...

As usual, it depends. There is no warning. You will get a feel for how often it needs to be emptied based on your situation and the time of the year (or even what week it is.) I have some flowering trees. When the petals drop I need to empty the basket daily if there is any wind. Most of...

I am glad you mentioned that. I need to pull out the actual warranty info to see what it has to say. Reminds me of the warranty on my pool finish. I had it redone with a pebble finish in 2016 and I was told it had a lifetime warranty. The catch was that I needed a monthly print out of...

There are several TFP chemistry recs that do no match what is normally recommended in the pool industry. I recently installed new equipment and don't want to do anything that can give Pentair a reason to deny a warranty claim. This is on the heater: Has anyone had a problem with a warranty...

The Betta finally ran out of juice overnight. Not surprising after a couple of days with cloudy conditions. More troubling is that now one of the LEDs is out. I'm not going to send it in for a warranty claim just for that. I'll get them to fix it when it goes back for a more serious problem.

Well, I owe it to you. If you hadn’t told me it could be done I wouldn’t have been as persistent in figuring out how. Rick

I was able to set the schedule for the feature circuits and the pool is going to run the way I want. It took me a while to figure out how to pick a name for the circuit of my choosing. There were drop downs with names that I thought I needed to choose. I stumbled on just editing the typing...

Yes, I can get to that website. I did find the system configuration screen and I will play around with it tomorrow. Thanks.

Thank you, Jim. That does make sense and basically is the solution I had come up with but probably didn’t express myself well. One thing that I didn’t know about was renaming the features. I should change what is currently pump speed low to something like day. Do you know how to get to...

Thanks Jim. I only figured this out today so we have not discussed it before. Edit: I was asking general questions about automation and upgrading my equipment back in the fall. Perhaps that is what you are remembering. Rick

After the pool company installed the new system I have not been able to run it the way I want. In the Pumps menu I have 3 choices - pool, low, and high. Those are set with pool being between low and high. In the schedule menu I have those same three options to choose. Pool was set for the...
