    Pentair IC-40 problems

    There may be another problem, although he said he replaced the salt sensor. The tech said he would come by this week. The symptoms were/are salt low, red light, cell off with 4000 ppm salt. Over the summer the low salt light would come on, never flashing, always red solid, showing the cell...

    Pentair IC-40 problems

    Just thought I would add to the collective experience we have here. The salt sensor failed on a 5 month old unit. Warranty repair took 3 weeks. It has now failed again, 2 days after repair. So far, Pentair has been responsive if not quick. We will see how the latest problem gets handled. At...

    Where is the best place to buy a new filter pump motor?

    In case anyone is interested: I found a direct replacement by WEG. Local distributor (ATL) and brand new for 150.00. Bolted right up and running very quietly. If anyone needs the contact message me, or I will post it if that is allowed. Thanks again for the great advice here. -Mark

    Where is the best place to buy a new filter pump motor?

    My 1.5 hp Hayward (A.O. Smith) just died it's second death. I rebuilt it with new bearings after it died the first time from an impeller seal failure. I want to replace with new this time, and cannot yet stomach the pool store prices. They don't even know how to sell the motor separate from the...

    Years of pucks got me here...Help! New results!

    Thanks everyone. I am going to change the water later in the year. I need to give my water bill a break. Maybe change it during the hottest part of summer and give the pool a refreshing chill. Thanks again for everyone's input. Make a big splash! Mark

    Years of pucks got me here...Help! New results!

    Re: Years of pucks got me here...Help! After 2 water changes, one 40% and then another 50%: FC 1.8 CC .2 PH 7.8 TA 100 CH 80 CYA 100 maybe a smidge over So there is little doubt that my CYA was over 200.

    Years of pucks got me here...Help! New results!

    Re: Years of pucks got me here...Help! Thanks everyone. My pool has a large L shaped shallow end, so I don't think I can change 1/2 the water at a time. I took the water down to 1 1/2 feet in the shallow and am re-filling now. Will probably take a couple days to complete. I will post my new...

    Re: Years of pucks got me here...Help! While I have the water low, might as well take advantage. My white fiberglass steps are stained...well kind of orange pink. Any ideas as to what caused it and how to clean? Thank you.

    Years of pucks got me here...Help! New results!

    Re: Years of pucks got me here...Help! Can you recommend a procedure? Surely I don't drain 1/2 the pool at one time.

    Years of pucks got me here...Help! New results!

    Please help me face the music: FC 4.8 Ph 7.8 TA 210 CH 210 CYA 100+ is MUCH higher. Lost the black dot in 1/4" of solution. Have struggled with low ph for years. Now I know why. Adding chems...adding pucks. Have stripped my liner of color on the floor of pool. Finally took control this year...
