My current pump holds the timer when power is removed and returned through an external switch. My older pump did not do this and I had to move my 4 pin data connector to the other pins on the pcb board. Works fine now.

Looks to be a 40mm 12v dc brushless fan. 2 pin adapter. Is there a particular one that is recommened? It's pretty loud... cleaned it out but not sure how long it will last.

I have an 18' x 52" Intex round pool. Upgraded pump to a 16" sand filter and 3,000 gph pump. Used the Intex SWCG but was extremely disappointed. Switched over to Blue Works BLSC-20 for our 7,000g pool. Zero issues. This is our third year with the unit. I had to replace the cell two years...

Test Results: FC 9 CC 0 Ph 7.2 TA 130 CYA 70 Salt 3900 Water is pristine. Solar cover used. I know it keeps chlorine from dropping as much but I'm trying to keep the temp up in the pool. I don't think it's the reason chlorine hasn't changed at all. I had the chlorine generator off for 4...

The last three years I've had a 'summer waves' 16' x 48" pool that worked well with my intex swg and intex 16" pump. Due to rust on the top rails we are thinking about buying a resin hybrid hard wall pool. I've already drained the old pool and will be taking it away in the next week or two...

I use a hayward skimmer on my summer waves pool because I couldn't stand the existing 'filter'. Use the following then just put an intex shutoff valve after the adapter on the skimmer. 40mm to 1.5" adapter

My first unit worked for two months, then one day it would only go one direction. I took apart the gears and used spray lubricant to get it to move easily. Never fixed the issue. I called Intex to set up a warranty replacement. Filled out the online paperwork and sent in a pdf of the...

Put the filter in recirculate mode and see if it slows down the output. Check the pre-filter on the sand pump when the output slows down. If you are getting air in the line it will burn up the filter motor. If there is no air getting in the motor/water line and recirculate works fine for hours...

Might be a faulty gfci plug on the unit. You should get an electrician to install a gfci outlet and replace the end of the power cable. Should be very inexpensive.

Lower your salt level to 1800-1900 when the pool is full. It will rise as the pool evaporates. I constantly had the high salt warning with my 5110 unit. Sold it and moved to a 8110 this season. I haven't received the low salt warning at all this season. It's been running for 3 months with...

I don't know the iron situation but it has always been crystal clear until the past few weeks. Ladder is showing signs if rust. Pool liner is blue.

7/9 FC 7 CC 0 PH 7.5 TA 65 CYA 70 SALT 1800 Temp 95 The swcg runs five hours a day with a solar cover at it stays at a FC level of 7-9. I've noticed some rust on our ladder and I am wondering if that is causing the green tint in the water. Not cloudy. Chlorine holding steady. No CC's. The...

The Intex SWG's definitely prefer a lower level of salinity. I had a newer version of the 5110 and my salt had to be below 2800ppm to work correctly. The board in the unit will throw a high salt error when the power drops to the cell. The power drop is caused by the salt level/electrical...

I was curious if anyone had access to both an ECO and Copper Bar version of an Intex SWG. My question was if the voltages were the same between the two going to the same plug. I thought about the possibility of swapping out the copper bars on a pump/swg combo I found for 50 bucks - new in box...

This unit puts out 1.2lbs of chlorine in 24 hours. The FC should raise by 2ppm in 1.7 hours at 5000 gallons. I don't understand how it would take 12 hours of runtime to keep my pool at the correct level. It's rated for 15,000 gallons and I'm 1/3 of that. I could get 14ppm of chlorine in 12...
