    Temperature Sensor Impacts SWGC

    I have been on a quest for the last few months to get my SWGC (Pentair IC40) working properly. I went through everything and ultimately had my builder come out and replace the cell (it was still under warranty). I wanted to memorialize for anyone else searching what I found. The cell itself...

    We are nearing the completion of our build northeast of Baltimore, MD. We actually started last fall and are approaching the end now. A huge bonus to starting in the fall (especially with the brutal winter we had) is that the excavated dirt we used to form a flat quarter-acre play area...
