I don't see scale on the tiles, just on the salt cell. I definitely won't be boiling acid.

I am a pool-lazy person and I have the TFP kit but it is old and probably needs new reagents. I go to...the pool store....These are results from October 20. I know, I need to bite the bullet and learn. I only clean the salt cell when the "check cell" light flashes, as it is very difficult...

Since I had nothing to lose (since the salt cell was shot), I soaked it for hours with more acid, and there is still some calcium. So I think it is calcium sulfate. The long Texas summer, algaecide and the wrong shock did me in. I put it back on the pool but it probably is not working...

No, I don't use dry acid. Someone told me I am using the wrong shock, though. I was using calcium hypochlorite. I guess I need a new one. $$$

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...

Well, as of today it is off. Maybe the pump burned out or it's just a tripped gfci. I also peeked at the pool and it is murky. I think they are learning the joys of new pool ownership. Thanks for the suggestions.

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...

A piece of one of the pins is still stuck. I am afraid of breaking it. Will this dielectric grease help to get it loose?

Thank you; that was it. It was corroded, and part of one of the pins did break off. I will try to remove it, clean the connectors, and try to install the new cable.

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:

Just the board and the gasket. It comes with a new gasket.

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 wish I had known this at the time I bought the equipment. I thought it was possible to just add it on at a later date. I am really, really disappointed. Thanks for the info.

Well it is a smallish box, right? Not big like the swimpure?

It was only the white one that came loose but I guess that was enough. Lesson learned - make sure everything is tight and secured - double and triple check. Thanks.

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...

Thanks for the replies. Both of the red varistors blew up - RZ1 and RZ2 and scorched the board. I once had a power switch by my pool equipment but when I got a new pump and intellitouch, it disappeared, so I have to go in the garage and turn off the breaker. So I had it off and replaced the...

That's what I was wondering. No, only 2 and 3 had jumpers so I don't know what happened.

Can you show a picture? I see the diagram but I am not sure I follow visually. Thanks. Oh, I think I can visualize it now, but I don't think that's my problem.

So what did you do? What did you have to do with the jumpers? Wasn't it right to just put one to 1 and the other to 4? Weren't the jumpers in the right place? (Asking because mine blew up.)

I also had this problem years ago and it was my flow switch. I unscrewed it and re-seated it and it worked after that.

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...

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...

It is not a SAm Light it is Intellibrite but it has a "SAm mode" that I suppose simulates a SAm light (Spectrum Amerlite). I have the Intellitouch with Screen Logic.

Oops, should have been "SAm mode". The interface has "lights" then "color lights" and "intellibrite". I thought SAm mode would have been under "intellibrite" with the rest of the modes. Under "color lights" is the color swim option. I tried it but it is hard to say if it is the same, because...

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...

I only found one company selling the board and with a new gasket it looks like $400, not including labor (don't want to mess with electrical myself). Would like to know if anyone knows anything different. Thanks.

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...
