Week later IC40 still working

It’s either 3 or 4 years old. It does not sit out in the weather, its in a ventilated pool house.

Might want to employ another pool service company.

Yes backwashed and rinsed both. Tried that before I replaced the switch to confirm it was not an actual flow issue. The pump is a single speed 1hp Hayward which moves the water pretty swiftly. I had left it running on its timer for a few days with the flow switch red hoping it might be making...

Hello my flow switch light came on a few days ago. I ordered a replacement flow switch “generic type” replaced it and the flow switch still showed red. Waited a day or so and now the flow light is green and the SWG is making chlorine again. Has anyone seen this happen before? I have a new IC40...

My Polaris 280 seems sluggish. Slow and sometimes has a problem stretching the hose out. Would putting either the red or blue puck in the line make any positive improvement. Thanks!

Where is the much larger Mom and Dad snake? Found a baby copperhead in mine a couple of years ago. They have lime green tails when they are young. They use their tails to simulate a worm to attract their prey.

Hello - Sorry to hijack the thread but it could be relevant to my problem. I have a IC-40 and have been running it at 20% along with the pump a couple of hours every day. The pool has been covered permeable cover that anchors to my deck. I am trying to let all the leaves fall before I close it...

We had to remove and bury a good size box turtle found this morning in the bottom of the deep end. First time in 12 years for a turtle.... Not the way to start your day.

I would still wait and not swim until I got it checked out. You could have a short on your ground coming from another power source.

We all do what works best in our own case. I see you have a plaster finish and larger volume and mine is vinyl so that in itself causes difference in approach. Good luck with it and enjoy your summer :)

Smoke lawn I like the link, Before you do any of the following you must dress up like Bill Murray in Caddy Shack when he found the Baby Ruth..... Drained the Pool Follow these steps to remove the animal and disinfect the water: Close the pool to swimmers. Put on disposable gloves. Use a net or...

It just works good for me to stay in close touch with my pool by cleaning most of the time by hand. I realize that your pools physical environment and use could be much different than mine. Before our SWG I was adding chlorine pucks to mine at a minimum of once every three days having to take...
