    Pentair IC40 - bit the dust

    I've had a Pentair IC40 for 8 years. It worked well and I liked it. 1.5 yrs ago, the original cell conked out and I replaced it at the eBay price of ~ 675ish for a new one. Now, the 1.5 yr old one has bit the dust and a replacement IC40 is about 1000$ give or take (yes I know why). UGH! If Im...

    IC-40 Red/Green Flashing Light time interval.

    So I'm wondering if any IC-40 owners might be or have experienced what I am? I'm going into year 5 with it. When I first turn my SWG, the Red/Green lights for good and low salt levels flash back and forth for what seems an inordinate amount of time before it goes steady green. These days...

    WoW! So I had to order some more R-0013 from tftestkits. I figured I would go ahead and get one of those fancy glycerin filled pressure gauges while I was at it. My original gauge at 1 1/2 years old is a bit sticky now and then and not really the most reader friendly because of the small size...

    Welp, I'm glad its not my mine! I've been helping a friend of mine with some pool stuff. Long story short, the Aquarite Controller does not seem to be calibrating the Salt Level properly. Water has been tested by the pool store and with my salt strips so I'm fairly confident the salt level...
