    Looking to add automation

    Hi, please see my signature for the pool equipment setup. I have 0 automation right now and not liking it a bit, PB's site manager screwed me up big time. Anyway, looking to eventually add automation so that I can control following things: WiFi App access Control Panel Display with long wired...

    Plaster dust/speck

    My pool plaster is about 8 weeks old now, see my other thread on 28 day startup I followed. About 10 days back I introduced the Polaris cleaner. Now I'm seeing some plaster specks in the deep end and robot is picking them up in every run (I can see blue stonescape tiny pebbles in it). Is that...

    Polaris 9650iQ and waterline cleaning

    I recently got this cleaner and have a question on waterline cleaning process (first time owning a robot). My expectation was that in waterline mode, it will float and swim across the water surface and do the cleaning but not seeing that behavior. It climbs up the wall and cleans the waterline...

Plan is to raise all the chemicals to right levels, test salt level, add more salt based on results. My...

    Transition from end of plaster 28 day startup

    I'll leave my other thread to the 28 days startup process, coming Wednesday marks end of 28 day new plaster period. During this time I have tried to keep FC in 3-4, pH around 7.8, TA 80-90, CH 200, CYA 40 (NPT + TFP recommendations). I'm looking to understand how the end of 28 days would impact...

    Chemical levels for new plaster pool

    Hi, I'm at day 5 after the fill. Test results from this morning: FC 3, pH 8.2, TA 70, CH 200, CYA 30. Added MA per the poolmath recommendation to lower the pH. Couple of questions I have that I need some clarity. Chlorine is burning off pretty quickly during the day so have been adding bleach...
