    IntelliChlor IC20 Flow problem

    This is my 6th season with my IntelliChlor and it has worked great until this year. I have just run into a problem where the flow light goes red and the system stops generating chlorine (cell light not lite up). So to solve the issue I cleaned my cartridge filters, all baskets, and made sure...

    Pool water odor

    I have had my pool open for a couple weeks now, water is clear and balanced. What I am finding though is that I have a perfume type smell from my water. Because I live in canada I use RV Antifreeze in my water lines when closing my pool for the winter. I suspect that this is the smell I am...

After I installed it I realized that the inlet can not be turned off (makes sense). The way my pump station is setup I have no way of draining the water out of my pool if it...

    Fiberglass Pool and Scaling

    Use winter plug with air connection to compressor

    Hello all, Was wondering if anyone knew how I could convert a winter plug so that it could be connected to an air compressor. I think this would be ideal to just put it in your line tighten it down and then connect the air compressor to it to blow out the line, just not sure of all the parts...
