Hello my flow switch light came on a few days ago. I ordered a replacement flow switch “generic type” replaced it and the flow switch still showed red. Waited a day or so and now the flow light is green and the SWG is making chlorine again. Has anyone seen this happen before? I have a new IC40...

My Polaris 280 seems sluggish. Slow and sometimes has a problem stretching the hose out. Would putting either the red or blue puck in the line make any positive improvement. Thanks!

Hello - Sorry to hijack the thread but it could be relevant to my problem. I have a IC-40 and have been running it at 20% along with the pump a couple of hours every day. The pool has been covered permeable cover that anchors to my deck. I am trying to let all the leaves fall before I close it...

We have had our pool for 12 years and have always used a Polaris 280 for the cleaner. 2 / 280's and 3 pumps in 12 years. This is the first full year that we have has a SWG and a new liner... The time savings the SWG offers from messing with chlorine is amazing. I now have time to brush the pool...

Hello - My pool has hovered around the same filter pressure of 10-12 PSI since install 10 years ago. My pump is a 1 Hp and is located 10 feet from the outside edge about 4' above the water level. Pool is 18x36 with 1.5" PVC Piping. Obviously the pressure hasn't been a big issue considering it...

Hello, I believe my spider gasket is leaking. When my pump shuts down I can hear water moving through the multipart valve with my ear close to it. Also in the morning my system has lost pressure and the pump must prime itself again each day. I think I can install a spider gasket, has anyone here...

Hello and help - the algae started a few weeks ago and at first it was controllable. Possibly started in my solar cover that had been sitting outside for a few months before I put it on the pool end of August. Last 10 days rain in Tennessee everyday but light rain. Yes I neglected it and left...

I live in Tennessee with relatively low utility rate of 9.368 cents per Kilowatt hour. Unless I need to replace my single speed super pump motor due to motor failure it really doesn't make financial sense to purchase even a 2 speed motor much less ever purchase a brand new variable speed pump...

I have seen some of these advertized at a really good price but I am not sure it would work out. I have a Hayward SuperPump and am looking at 2 speed options. Century offers a - 2 Green 56J with built in timer. The timer is inclusive "integrated" on top of the motor. My SWG currently is...

Hello - My question is does anyone have a general IC40 setting to get started? I live in middle Tennessee with an 18k gallon vinyl pool just installed a Pentair IC40. My water temp is still a little cool due to a few consecutive low 50's night time temps. I have the IC40 set at 40% and we are...

I went to my local pool store today for a few chlorine tabs. My current plan is to install a SWG in the next few days. While there they tried to sell me on a water purification product called Advanced Blue. I have never heard of it before but they gave me a couple of brochures and swear it is...

I have a Amerlite Niche - 10 years old. I upgraded my light to a LED Pentair Pentair Amerbrite Color LED Replacement Lamp 12V 602060. When the installer went to put the new light shell back in the niche it would not fit flush. The type of niche I have has the conduit connector / light chord...

Hello I have a 18x36 vinyl liner pool. We are getting a new liner tomorrow. My thought is to get a SWG in the next couple of weeks to cut down on the maintenance. I am leaning towards either the Hayward Aqua Rite 15 or the Pentair IC40. What are the pro's and cons. The IC40 appears to be a...

Has anyone had success with a product or method removing stains on white fiberglass steps. We are replacing our liner this week and we want to try to clean up the finish on our steps while the water is down. Thanks !!

I have a 10 year old Amerlite Niche and would like to upgrade to an LED 12v Bulb. Pentair recommends the following - I can handle the 12V wiring that is no problem. My question is how difficult is it to replace the bulb with water in the pool. I understand the bulb is kept cool with the water...
