Greetings, I have a Pentair IC40 that was installed in late 2010 and the "Cell" light was blinking green. The flow and salt lights were good so I pulled it out to clean. It had a good deal of buildup so I acid washed it completely and reinstalled. The blinking green light is still blinking...

Greetings, I thought I would report on a successful repair of two valve actuators that stopped working on me. Rather than spend a few hundred bucks replacing them I poked around inside and found that the limit switches that start and stop the valves were faulty. A quick search on ebay led to...

Greetings, I was wondering if anyone out there can point me to where I can find a solution to my problems with my Kreepy Krauly. The fact that it gets caught at the stairs is bad enough but now it is getting itself hung up at the location where the suction line comes out of the wall of the...

Greetings, When my pool warms up in the summer I get small amounts of green algae forming, primarily in areas where the Kreepy Krauly can't reach (corners, steps, etc). I have a saltwater pool and there is plenty of chlorine always available but I find myself brushing back algae more often...

Greetings, I bought this to replace my motherboard but it turned out I did not need it after all. The vendor I bought it from won't take it in return - last time I buy from them! Anyway, I paid $325 plus shipping but will sell it for $250 plus shipping. If you like I can post it to eBay so...

This post is just to pass along my recent experience. I was foolishly working on some wiring connections with my motherboard powered on when I shorted out two wires connected to the Aux Extra relay input. The magic smoke was released from the motherboard and it tripped the 18V AC breaker...

Greetings, While wiring in a new relay for a valve actuator I tripped the middle 18V breaker on the easy touch control panel. It tripped when I inadvertently shorted out the relay leads coming off the panel for a brief moment (DUH!). The center breaker (marked "relay") tripped but it won't...

Greetings, I am looking to use a relay to add a third valve actuator to my Easytouch 4 Single Body controller and was wondering if anyone had access to a wiring diagram for the Pentair CVA24T valve actuator. I want to know what each of the three wires does so I can design a proper relay...

Greetings, I just added a slide to my pool and I want to automate the operation of the slide so that my kids can turn the water flow to the slide on and off from our Quicktouch remote. I am finding that with my single body version of the Easytouch 4 I may not be able to do this. I am using...

Greetings, I have a Pentair Easy Touch controller that runs the solar system I recently installed. The valve actuates properly when the solar system turns on but when the pool reaches the temp setpoint the system switches from solar mode to normal mode but the valve does not turn back to...

Greetings, I installed a brand new Pentair 3 port valve and it is leaking from the top cover. One of the screws was left off from an earlier test fitting of the valve actuator when I installed it. I am using it in manual mode now and when I used my screw gun to put the screw back in I...

Greetings, As I am getting my solar setup going I recently bought the Pentair Solar Sensor and wired it into my Easytouch controller. My water and air temp sensors display correctly but when I check the solar temp it displays "0 F", not "ERR" but "0 F". I thought I might have had a bad unit...

Greetings, I have some slightly mismatched solar panels and wanted to see if anyone had some ideas on the best way to connect them. After reading a number of posts on the topic I came up with the conceptual layout shown in the attachment. Two of these panels are the ones that have the inlet...

Greetings - first post here so bear with me! I built my own pool last year and recently came into possession of 5 solar panels (fafco). Even though these are probably not quite enough for the ultimate system I am going to hook them up and start using them and add more panels as my budget...
