    Calcium not coming off salt cell

    I have a Pentair cell. The instructions say 1 gallon water to 16 ounces muriatic acid and not to soak it for over 30 minutes. I have soaked it four times, up to forty-five minutes, and I am just starting to make progress. I even added extra acid this last time. Is this the best approach...

    Neighbor's Intex Pump is Suddenly Loud

    Neighbors put in an above ground pool. Other than draining it into my yard, no problem. (They stopped.) Last week their pump, which is only inches from my fence, suddenly got loud. I mentioned it to them and they said they noticed, but they did nothing. They are running it 24x7 and they...

    Replacing cable on Dolphin s300i

    I am trying to replace the cable. I watched a video and the tech removed the cover and the motor assembly, then gave a little tug and the cable came out. No such luck here. We are tugging and pulling and it is not coming out. Any advice? This is the video:

    Florida Sunseeker replacing Intellibrite 5g with ScreenLogic

    My beloved Intellibrite 5g died after about two years. I would like to replace it with the Florida Sunseeker board. My question is this: I have ScreenLogic. Can I use it to turn the light off and on? I know I can't use it to adjust the colors (not exactly, anyway), which is sad, but if I...

    I want to switch from Hayward Swimpure to Pentair Intellichlor

    When my equipment was replaced this past fall, I did not want to replace the swg because it was so expensive and the Swimpure was okay. Now after seeing how it works with Screen Logic, I really wish I had it. When we finish paying off the new pump and controls, I am thinking about getting the...

    Why did my circuit board blow up?

    I replaced my circuit board today with one that had been on previously (I replaced it unnecessarily because the problem back then was a flow switch) and the little red thingy on the bottom left that says R22 blew up and fried. Any idea what I did wrong? I'm sure I had the jumpers in the right...

    How can I turn off the Swimpure? I blew up the circuit board.

    I replaced my circuit board the same way as before, but it started smoking and blew up before I could turn off the power. I've done it before so I don't know what happened...But my question is, I want the pump to run without the SWG. How do I make sure there is no electric power to it? I have...

    ScreenLogic/Intellibrite 5G How do you get the "SAmode"

    I was happy about getting the Intellibrite 5g pool light automation with ScreenLogic and it has the modes party, romance, Caribbean, American, sunset and royal. However the box also has a mode "SAmode" that cycles through "all the spectrum of the colors". That one does not show up. How do I...

    Pentair Intellibrite 5G - only getting blue and green now

    I know I read about this somewhere before but I have searched and cannot find the thread! My light started out beautifully a few years ago. This past year I noticed I am only getting blue and green. I believe this is because the red is out. So doesn't somebody just pop the light open and...

    Remote/Mobile controls for variable speed pumps

    I have the first Hayward TriStar VSP that came out, so it has a big, heavy control box that hangs on the fence. I am wanting to replace it with a pump that has built-in controls and an on board timer. But isn't it a pain to bend over and program a VSP? The pool (and the box) are...

    Need boxes off the fence and creative ideas

    We had a ton of boxes hanging on the fence - salt cell controller, freeze guard, timer, electric on off switches, and tristar vs pump controller. Is All this weight was weighing down the cheap fence badly. All the equipment is only about a foot from the fence. Well the neighbor wanted the...

    Every night salt level display drops and I have to reset!

    Hi, I have the Swimpure system and the t-cell-15. Back in April I cleaned the cell (and I probably did something stupid like adding acid first, don't remember) and I blew a fuse, and the board lost power. I replaced the fuse and had power back but ever since then the check salt and check cell...

    Debris in Salt Cell (Crape Myrtle Seeds!)

    Hello, I have the t-cell 15. I have been having trouble and I had it tested at two different places. It tested okay, but at the second store the tester asked, "Have you been shoving something inside it?" I told him how our neighbors have a crape myrtle next to the fence and it always gets...

    SWG not working

    I am having to reset it every day. My values: When I walk out in the morning it has a 0. Pushing the diagnostic button I get these values: temp 70 (I don't think that is right! It is raining, though. Will measure), voltage 32.7, current 0.00, output 80p, inst salt -0, al-0 (swimpure) and...
