I purchased one about 6 months ago and it's working fine.

Super glad you guys said that! I was dreading clouding the water up before I'm going to add these borates here soon and really see what that's all about!

Thank you guys. Yeah, that's why I put PPB...it's such a small number relative to the volume and in addition to that...I could have viewed the test wrong this time or last so I may not have gained anything anyway and or might even be at 125 ish ppb. Thanks again

I don't test but maybe once per year for Phosphates...I didn't log it in PoolMath last time when I bought the test kit but I recall my numbers right in this same range. I'm probably at the 250 PPB but I'm not really used to the blue shades on this test so call it 250 to be safe. No visible...

Thank you guys! Will get it done ✅

I'm pretty sure you're correct. I was hesitant to pry but there are definitely no theads.

Thank you sir.

It was about 1 month of the pool guy/pool store and I knew "this isn't right". So thankful to have found this place.

Thanks so much. That's what I was thinking...one floater to add CYA and I've got about 12 extra CalHypo tablets sitting in a container to burn so why not toss a couple in a separate floater and let the CH/CYA drift higher a bit. I actually did float one when we left for a couple weeks and...

This winter I haven't needed much chlorine so far. Maybe a few gallons worth the last 3-4 months with the cold water temps. Pool lost about 100 PPM CH and maybe 30-40 CYA in that time span which also brought 40 inches of rain. With no one swimming for months...I'm curious as to whether any...

Pics attached. I tried to unthread last year and it didn't seem to want to come out. Functions fine but I'd prefer to fix the cosmetic damage on the bezel. Thank you, Donnie

I was questioning my reasoning on the pump speed is because you said "run pump faster and clean filter more" Say 750 rpm on my pump is about 40 watts draw...1400 rpm is about 125 watts...the difference is like 20 cents per day or 50 cents per day...it's not enough to where I care about the cost...

Thank you. I really wish it could measure GPM somehow so the pump would ramp up RPM as filter gets dirty to maintain GPM.

Hey Allen @ajw22 , My 011056 pump has thrown this same error code over the last few weeks once or twice. It seems to only happen when I'm stopping/starting the pump quickly when changing settings on the schedules for example. I've been working with Pentair to get them to add the feature...

I see what you're saying about the sock floating up while the basket stays down...it's just not something I worry about with pump running 24/7 I guess. With a SWCG and VS pump...why would we NOT want to run 24/7?

Like everyone will tell you here...you'd be better off to add the SWCG. In my opinion and do the work to setup an acid dispenser. Then you really have the hands off setup you desire.

Yes sir. If you have enough room under there to put some type of elbow to ball valve..that's what I initially tried...after cutting 3 different 90 degree elbows I just couldn't get enough room...if you really want to pull it completely out and flip it upside down and get really good access to...

I run pump 24/7...net stays down. Rock will always keep basket from floating in net or under net :) With a properly functioning weir door, it’s the same as the basket floating up to the top. The debris should still stay in skimmer

I keep a shop vac in the pump house and clean it out in 30 seconds.

I run the rock below the skimmer sock so I never have to dig it out..

Try the smonet app...see if it will let you update the firmware. Most have had issues with the Seauto app itself when going to update the firmware. I can control mine via bluetooth through the app just fine. But I never updated the firmware and make sure to leave that setting off (auto...

Congrats brother! That is one awesome pool pad you've got!!

Mine is at 0 psi at 750 RPM. 2500 rpm is 10-11 psi on mine as well.

Thank you guys. Sorry to overthink it. It's an expensive part of the pool that's older and I'm hoping to do whatever I can to prolong the life of the equipment & run as efficient/cost effective as possible in all facets of the pool/landscape/lighting maintenance.

Thank you. This is what I read previously...I don't know if it's better to just leave off until Spring or fire up a couple times and let it run for 30 minutes or fire up a couple times and let it go to 50-60 degrees then shut off for another month or?

Our pool drops to about 45-50 degree water temps at the coldest points throughout winter. It's too cost prohibitive for us to keep it at or above 60-65 degrees which from my understanding is the low side "safe temp" to fire up a gas pool heater. From my understanding it is also a good...

Another advantage in my opinion, is that with the DE filters if you swim at night or use the lights in your pool, it will definitely have more crystal clear water if you’re using a DE filter correctly.
