    Replacing dead IC40 with IC60, should fit? & retailer question

    Emailed the company I ordered from to say if they couldn't give me a date in the very near future that they would receive the IC60 that I needed to cancel and find a company that has them in stock as my current cell is dead. Received confirmation of cancelation fairly quickly from their CSR, she...

    Replacing dead IC40 with IC60, should fit? & retailer question

    Which is the only reason I considered them as their list price for the IC60 was $400 less than anyone else and I'm unemployed.

    Replacing dead IC40 with IC60, should fit? & retailer question

    They did not and have no contact info other than their listed snail mail address. Dodged a bullet on this one methinks. Should have been a clue when I looked at their shipping policies before ordering and the first part of what showed on the page was the info for the webmaster instructing them...

    Replacing dead IC40 with IC60, should fit? & retailer question

    Only gave them my email and ship to address as the shipping cost came before any financial info could be entered. Good thing it appears!

    Thanks for that information. Kind of glad I wasn't able to order from them when I think about it, lack of phone numer or customer service email, etc!

    Replacing dead IC40 with IC60, should fit? & retailer question

    The company I went with sent me a danged "back ordered" notice that I didn't see within the 72 hours they request you cancel the order in and they have zero estimate for when they believe they will get them back in stock. This totally sucks!! I don't understand why these e-tailers list products...

    Replacing dead IC40 with IC60, should fit? & retailer question

    We actually have a flow switch we thought we needed at one point and would try that if the diagnostics weren't indicating its life is 100% used up. Thanks for the good advice!

    Replacing dead IC40 with IC60, should fit? & retailer question

    Well it turned out to be a dead end. Signed up for an account per their reqs, put the swcg in my cart, went to check out/get shipping estimate only to get a pop-up saying "An item in your cart can not be shipped to the address listed". Infuriating! Tried a 2nd time just to be sure with same...

    Replacing dead IC40 with IC60, should fit? & retailer question

    That was my thought about getting the IC60...our 40 runs at 100% pretty much April thru mid September in combination with our solar which runs about 12 hours a day. Should be able to decrease the amount of time a day by 3-4 hours so it should last a bit longer in theory 🤞

    Replacing dead IC40 with IC60, should fit? & retailer question

    Thanks! Yeah, for close to a $400 difference I think I'll give it a shot! I'm just glad it's an actual office space and not a UPS mail box 🙃

    Replacing dead IC40 with IC60, should fit? & retailer question

    Our 6 year old IC40 is saying low salt but salt level per taylor test is 3400. Am looking to install an IC60 in its place as we've had to run the IC40 at 100% just to keep chlorine levels adequate. Our 27K pool is in direct sun basically all day long and we have to constantly skim stuff out of...

    SWG issues: sporadic accuracy low chlorine generation

    Last year after replacing our gas heater that got destroyed by rats in just 2 years we suddenly started getting the dreaded low flow red light. We cleaned the cell and that didn't fix it. Even bought the sensor switch to replace it if that was the problem but haven't installed it yet. It was...

    IC40 - some advice?

    That's interesting that you say there should be no lights on the cell if the pump is off. Our cell was professionally installed so am pretty sure it's wired correctly. The lights stay lit when the pump shuts down for the night, the only difference is the low flow indicator light which changes...

    Dogs in SW pool

    My brother brings his dog over occasionally. He does try to bathe him first so we get less fur and oil but Neo loves swimming in my pool. We also have raccoons that occasionally swim on hot summer nights. We have a SWC with a hybrid pool, fiberglass sprayed over an old liner so don't have the...

    Thanks for the help Dave! I used to know such things.. Simple html and such. Think the strokes wiped some of that old knowledge out. The pics I uploaded to Photobucket are actually the before pics. Let me see if I can link to some between pics ��

    Okay. Had to create a photo bucket account. Here are some pics of "before". I know it looks to be in great shape but truly was not. http://s38.photobucket.com/user/Embers60/library/Mobile%20Uploads OMG is all that stuff I just pasted into the link really necessary?

    Greetings from sun and fire scorched Northern California! We bought our house at the end of October 2013. One of the biggest selling points for me was the casket shaped 28k gallon pool. While waiting for the seller's lender to approve the sale (it was a short sale we signed our offer for in...
