My pool is 2 years old. I found this in my filter basket a few days ago. It looks to be plaster and has an outside shape of a pvc pipe. Light weight and somewhat brittle. I’m thinking it might be the plasterers may not have had a drain sealed good during construction. Is it common to have...

I recently converted my pool to SWG (thanks to help from TFP!). Been great so far. About to go on vacation and one of my kids is gonna take care of the pool for me. Looks like they will need to add acid a few times while I’m gone. When the IC 40 is generating, all the bubbles come out of one...

Good morning, This is sort of pool related. My pool and driveway share a common fence. We have a 20 foot rolling gate across the driveway. It’s powered by a Liftmaster chain driven opener. Due to local pool code requirements, the gate automatically closes after 1 minute. It has a photo...

Good afternoon, I’m starting to plan for my SWG installation. I’m planning a Pentair IC20 (10000 gallon pool/spa) with the transformer and surge board inside my load center. I’m looking at a Jandy spring check valve between the heater and the IC20. Below is a picture of the return line going...

i decided to do the Intellicenter upgrade from the EasyTouch. Things went smoothly and everything works fine. I am thinking about upgrading to a SCG so I really started looking at the wiring. Based on the diagram on the panel, I got really confused by his wiring and it appears to be nothing...

I bought this pressure gauge from TF test kits and noticed that below 5 PSI, there are only 3 of the longer indices for each PSI. So went on Amazon and different brand gauges have the same thing. Seems there all short one indices below 5 PSI. I have been running my pump at 1200 RPM which puts...

I have a Kreepy Krauler Platinum cleaner (supplied by the pool builder) that I stopped using. I was spending more time trying to keep it running than it took me to just manually clean the pool. I thought I‘d ask on here before I give up on it completely. The problem is that small pebbles from...

My pool was built at same time as my house. During driveway construction , someone tore up the line to the leveler that was built in the pool. As a result, we had to plumb the water feed into the system at the equipment pad. So the bucket at the pool is unused, but full of water and still...

My pool pump started making a noise when ambient and pool temperature got cold. It goes away when the ambient temperature goes up. Kind of sounds like a scraping noise. Should I be concerned? PS. Tried to attach a short video of it, but “attach files” button only shows my pictures and not...

Good morning, I’ve been running my pool/spa with my IPhone/Ipad Screenlogic app. Since the app is limited, I wanted to try settings using the Windows interface. i got the software loaded. Ran it as administrator the first time and it says system not found. I ran it without trying as...

Is there is an easy way to sync logs between IPhone and IPad For PoolMath? I've been using my IPhone to log test results, chemical adds and maintenance actions, but they don’t show up on my Ipad. I use the same username and password. Thanks

Been using Great Value bleach for a few weeks now with no issues. Couple of questions about that particular bleach: 1). Just noticed that there is a small thing on the label that says “with fabric protection”—is that an issue? 2). Says it has 7.5% sodium hypochlorite, but it also says yields a...

Hello I’m trying to make sure I’m getting the best results, so I’m trying to refine my techniques. Using a Taylor K2006 test kit , Taylor 9198 tubes (one for each test except CYA and Ph), magnetic stirring bars and a magnetic mixer. I clean the tubes and stirring bars with pool water before...

Hello, I’m new to the TFP process. Pool is about a year and half old. I was using chlorine tabs up til a few weeks ago. No real problems except an algae bloom last summer that I shocked and cleaned out of. No problems this summer. CYA got up to about 200 and I decided to move to TFP...
