Brand new handrail rusting within 2 weeks is a bonding issue right?
Commercial property brand new build , they replaced the rails already once because they were Rusty and a week later they're already getting rusty . This is entirely a bonding issue right? It's only Rusty where it's out of the water

On Commercial new build. They never secured the box to the wall and the glue came undone and it was hanging by its wires. But they fixed it now it's secured to the wall but not pushed back into the coupling.
This is to laugh at the workmanship in southwest Florida.

Can I hook up a indoor pentair panel to the rs485 port on the inteliaflo3 pump? And have it just control the pump?
Customer doesn't like how the Bluetooth connection sucks but doesn't want. A full blown control panel.

New pool 6 weeks old, builder says that we ruined the surface, they did a 7-Day startup. And have no reports of the startup process. And now the customer has a boot print in their pool, among a bunch of other stains and black streaks.
Now I got no problem taking credit for ruining it if we did but I don't see how we did, the person that did the plaster won't even come out and look at it they just immediately blamed us and said it was a hydration issue .

Ka-Boom! Be Sure Watch the WHOLE Instructional Video
Specifically the part where the Pentair guy stresses to make sure the relief valve is OPEN by 1/4 turn!
First time cleaning my own filters after firing pool guy and I blew the sucker halfway to the neighbors yard before landing and sinking to the bottom of my pool. Cleanup photo for reference.
O-Ring and clamp seem to be alright. Replace whole thing or just top cover and pressure gauge? O-Ring and clamp seem in order.

What's causing this pool to turn cloudy with liquid cl.
So first let me preface what we have done already.
Pool has some major blue staining from roof algaecide.(no heater).
We did a standard stain removal process got the pool looking brand new. Sequestratant and absorbic acid. Also draining half the pool.
We did not refill on a filter from the city water.
We then kept some Sequestratant on the pool over the next 2 months. Doing a maintenance dosage. (Jack's)
So after a month of the stain removal process any time we add liquid cl, it clouds the entire pool for 48hrs.
Even if we predilute In a bucket of water.
We tried flocing and waste line, we even used a culator metal carbon membrane filter system, because some of the stain came back on a couple spots.
We've also kept a 4.0 culator in the pool.
We haven't really gone and thrown in a algaecide or enzyme yet, nor phosphate treatment, because other wise the pool looks great no disable algae, cl is holding a standard time for swfl summers.
Am I missing something? Or should we just "shock" and algaecide because somthing is in the water?

For f*** sake all salt cells work on a property of self-cleaning. If the water is mostly in Balance you won't have calcium buildup on the salt cell, or very little...
He had a small pile of calcium in his pool and was upset that we weren't cleaning his salt cell. Dumb cs rep at purechlor doesn't know their own systems.
The last 3 times we opened it up, pretty much spotless. Even have pictures to prove it.
Rant over.
