Good Morning, I know there have been a few posts about this topic but I wanted to share my pictures for review and advice as well. Currently, my pool is drained for maintenance and I noticed a few hairline cracks in the plaster, see pictures. I believe they have been there for some time now...

Hello All, I hope everyone is enjoying their summer! :cool: My wife is always sitting on the edge of our pool and uses a towel (to protect her swimsuit) to sit on. I was wondering if anyone knows of a mat/seat that would also provide some cushion. I have found a few online but also read they...

Anyone use the Algimycin 2000 weekly in their pool? I currently do not have algae in my pool and have not had past issue with it but have a few bottle of this on hand. Was wondering if it is worth using to ensure I do not have algae issue. I believe keeping the correct water chemistry should be...

I backwashed on 6/4/2020 and today 6/8/2020 my PSI has increased from 8 to 11, run my pump at 2100RPM. Normally, it does not happen that quickly so I am a little concerned. We did have a busy weekend in the pool this past weekend but I would not think that would cause such a quick increase. I...

Jim, I have been trying to figure out how to get the pump to speed up for a few hours like you mentioned above. Do you have any guidance on that? If I need to start a new thread I can do that, just let me know. Can't seem to find it in my eady touch book. Thanks, Greg

Hello, I had my pool company close my pool last year and they opened it this year. I was out there with them and when we turned the valve (see picture, located just to the right of the pump) to turn the slide on a bad odor came out for the first minute or so. Was this due to them not...

Hello, I recently had my pool opened by my local pool company (the ones who installed it). They originally told me to run the pump for 23 hours a day and have it shut off for one hour. Since joining this forum, I was informed that makes no sense to stop it for only an hour after running for 23...

Greetings, I hope everyone is surviving this crazy pandemic! At least we have pool season on the horizon. :cool:☀ So, I have had my pool for around 8 years now and have discovered that I might be adding the incorrect amount of D.E. after backwashing. Let me just note, that I have not had any...

Good Afternoon, My IC60 Pentair is only a few months old at this point in time. Last night when I was out by my pool pump, I noticed it turned off then back on all by itself. Not sure if this is a sign of something going bad or what. The unit replaced an IC40 that finally went bad after 7...

Installed a new IC60 a week or so ago. It was producing Chlorine just fine when I first installed it. The salt light was flashing when I first installed so I drained some water to lower the salt. The easy touch panel is reporting the salt level of 4,200ppm which I know is on the high side of...

Hello, My "CELL" status light started flashing yesterday so I acid washed and inspected the cell. I did not see any calcium buildup during inspection so I was not sure what else to do. After doing this the flashing stopped and it started producing chlorine again. I then ran a super...

Hello, This spring/summer I am looking to add a slide to my pool. The company that has been recommended to purchase the slide from is SR SMITH. Has anyone dealt with them before, pros/cons? I have 3 and 5 y/o girls that will be using the slide so it was recommended that I get the ones with...

Hello, I recently found out that my easy touch panel will show me my salt level but when I go to the diagnostics menu it shows that it is not connected. Can someone explain how to do this? Currently, my salt level reading on the IC40 is Red so there is low salt however, when I test with an...

Hello, Does anyone use a security camera to monitor their pool? I was looking for something to help notify me if there was activity by my pool, such as a small child. Both my kids are in swim lessons and I have high locks on all doors that lead to pool as well as sensors to alarm me when...

Hey all, Just had pool opened yesterday and I have found my pump off twice now when it should be on. My schedule set is on from 4am to 3am then off an hour and back on. Any ideas on ehy this would happen? Thanks, Greg

Hello All, 2015 Pentair pump is making a chirping noise. I have opened up the back cover to get to the fan where I sprayed WD40 on the shaft. The noise stopped for a little while, however, now it is back. The noise is not horrible but I fear it will only get worse. Does anyone have any...

Hello all- Does anyone know of a good pool float that keeps your whole body out of the water? Could be a chair or lounger. There is so much out there to chose from. I was just wondering if anyone out there had some favorites they have purchased and would recommend. Thanks!!!

Light on my pool isn't working? Relay clicks as normal but light does not come on. We do not use the light that often and have only had the pool for 5 years. Is it possible that the bulb is burnt out???

Does anyone know the best way to clean the fan that is located at the back of the pump. It appears the cover comes off with 3 screws. Is it as simple as taking the cover off and wiping off the fan blades. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Second question this is connected to my easy...

Hey everyone, Last night I noticed a decent number of ants had got into my easy touch panel and were crawling everywhere. I took the panel off and got as much of them out as I could but I figure they'll just return. I put a couple bait traps near the equipment in hopes it will kill the...

I have some stains in the deep end of my plaster bottoms pool. I have taped sandpaper to a brush I use to normally brush the pool which has helped remove stains in the past. Its just kind of a hassle. Does anyone recommend a brush made for this or had something they have tried that worked...
