I just purchased a new replacement IC40. to replace the one that crapped out. The instructions tell me to ensure the line voltage matches the power center wiring. If the line voltage is 200-223 VAC, I am supposed remove the lid on the power center to set the power voltage to 220 wiring which...

For the last four days, when my Pentair IC40 system starts up, the salt level lights flash green and red and the flow glows red. About four or five hours later, the salt light glows green but the flow LED goes off (not red, just off). The cell light also glows green when it's active like it's...

Thanks to the BBB and this terrific website, my pool has been troublefree for years. I couldn't find a recent post about why my pool is green after using StainFree, thus this post: I noticed some small brown stains on my vinyl liner this year, caused by leaves left in the pool too long. So...

I'm sure this topic has been discussed many times, please forgive me for not finding a post about this. I would like to run outdoor lights hanging across the pool. I don't want solar lights as I've yet to see any that work to my satisfaction. I can't imagine high voltage lighting would be...

We've been fortunate that our pool water has nearly always looked good, thanks to the TFP forum and Taylor's test kit. The other day we were shopping at our military exchange and they were having a great sale on Clorox bleach. I've been wanting to try the BBB so I picked up several bottles of...

I have a new variable speed pump (which I love due to drastic improvement in electric bills) and I run it for ten hours at 1500rpm. I also have my SWG on for ten hours and it is set at 20%. I always have high FC (usually 10-15). All other tests are normal and my water is crystal clear. I can...

I'm getting ready to swap out my pump to the Pentair V/S pump. The new pump has female threads at both in and out ports, so I have to use male adapters. I was going to use teflon tape on the male adapters inlet and outlet ports but the owners' manual/installation instructions says to use...

Hello, my electric company is offering $600 rebate to pool owners who change their single speed pumps to certain variable speed pumps. Seems like a no-brainer. I've seen the Pentair Variable speed pump for under $900 online. My pool guy has quoted me $1500 for the pump and installation...

I installed a brand new Pentair IC-40 salt cell and when I ran the "life test" (by pressing the "more" button for five seconds) it displayed 60% life used up. I then replaced this salt cell with another brand new cell. Ran the life test again, and got 60% life used up again. Any ideas why...

Sometime ago, my SWG broke down and before investing (e.g., giving) more money to Pentair, I decided to try your BBB method. Skeptical, as others I'm sure, I read and reread everything (and I do mean everything) on this site about BBB. First, as suggested I bought a Taylor test kit through the...

I have a three year old IC-40 that worked perfectly until a week ago. Cell light began flashing. Removed cell, cleaned as directed, even though the cell looked clean. The cell light begins flashing about five minutes after the pump is turned on. Not producing chlorine. All other lights are...

I have an Intellichor 40 salt generator and no power to the cell. Does anyone know how to check and change the fuse which is located on the bottom of the power box?

My inground pool's PSI reading stays the same even when my pump and filter are turned off. Shouldn't the filter's gauge be zero when it's off? thanks for the help.
