Hello all, On my 7 year old pool I have had to replace 3 lights in the first 4 years of our pool build. Two of these were in the 3 years warranty period and the 3rd was on the 4th year but Pentair stepped up and made a one time courtesy replacement. Fast forward to ~6 months ago one of my...

Hey everyone, my SWG (installed 2015) had failed and since I have been repairing electronics as a hobby I thought I would see if I could access the inside of our Pentair IC40 as I have not seen this done anywhere before. Getting the top off was the easy part as it just pops off. Once inside I...

Hey everyone, I have not posted in quite a while but I wanted to share this bypass that I made yesterday. I originally purchased an Impresa bypass by a big online company and it arrived cracked. This brand felt really thin and cheap, not something that I felt could last long term. I ended up and...

Hello, It has been several years since I have had to post anything here. I have been having an issue for years that I have not been able to figure out. Since you do not clean the filter often it takes awhile until this reoccur. Leslies has never heard of it either. The issue does not happen...

My co-workers pool has a leak somewhere and he would like some help with ideas on where to look. He has already tried the dye and was not able to locate anything. Currently the water is too cold to get in. So every day his pool is losing anywhere from ¼” to ½” water in both the pool and spa. Two...

This question is for my neighbor’s pool. They just had the pool resurfaced from plaster to pebble and converted to a SWG using an IntelliChlor connected to an IntelliChlor Power Center. Their pool is only 10,000 gallons however the contractor installed an IC40. The IC40 was set to 20% and they...

I'm confused why anyone would ever consider drilling a hole in their pool. If you wanted to partial drain then get a pump. The cost of a pump purchase or rental would probably be better than fixing a hole in the pool. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hello pool family, So I have my pool dialed in very well but my friend who has an older pool is having an issue. His water is so cloudy that you cannot see a few feet down. I will post what his results are and maybe you can point us in the right direction. I think he will need to drain maybe...

So my pool was just completed a few months ago and after it was all set up I would get little bubbles coming out of the returns in the pool. Without the pool builder coming to the house to see my concerns he mentioned over the phone that it is normal because I have a salt cell. I did my homework...

Thought I would share a few photos of our new pool. Water is just now starting to warm up. The stain on the concrete to the left of the hot tub is from the salt water when getting out. I think we should have rinsed it down after each use. We are now doing this but the colored concrete is...

Hello, I am a new pool owner as many of the new subscribers on this forum. Our pool went in service at the end of February 2016. As many I was going to Leslie’s weekly and each time I left I was spending $100.00 or more for chemicals they said that I needed. I ended up and purchased a Pool...

Why does my Pentair Intelliflo 2 VST pump shut off when heater reaches its set temperature? Pentair’s automation team said that is not normal and had me make sure my Man Heat was set to on. They said if it is shut to off the pump will turn off when the heater turns off. In my case this is not...

Our new pool has been filled with water less than two months now. We had a few issues with the employee that installed the pool equipment among a few other things. This question is for people that install these types of equipment. I would rather resolve this myself than call this person back if...

Today my coworker came over to check out our new pool and give me some pointers since he has had a pool for many years. While he was looking at my check valve that flows into the heater it looks like it hardly opens up. We increased the speed from 1850 RPM to 2600 RPM and it still looked the...

Hello members, This is my first post to this forum. We just had a new pool built. The pool was turned on 4 weeks ago and all seemed well. Last week the contractor turned on the salt cell and now I see bubbles coming out of two out of four returns. The bubbles are coming out of the two returns...
