To install, the breaker has a back hook that hooks over a tab and then you push the breaker back into the bus bars.
To remove, rotate the top forward and this will disconnect the top from the bus bars and then you can lift it off the hook.
You can grab it with some big Channel Lock Pliers if you need more leverage.
Make sure all power to the subpanel is off.

New to Intex salt water sytems....

Hello and thanks in advance for any advice you may have . We had the older version of the 12x24 (10x23 then) Intex pools for 16 years, ours actually were labeled as "Zodiac" back when we purchased ours. It was cartridge filter with oversized pump which helped but still required constant attention to maintain proper levels etc. We took it down three years ago as its life cycle had ended......
So, our daughter has convinced us we need to continue teaching our newest grandchildren to swim as we did with her first, so we entered the game again with a new 12x24 with the sand/saltwater system. I have already found many posts on here that have helped me from set up to now and this site has been VERY helpful!!
As many have stated the Intex instructions for startup and daily maintenance are vague at best. My current dilemma is How long do I run the chlorinator for each day? And do I have to also run a filter mode for a separate set of hours or does the chlorinator cycle also cover the needed filter cycle as it is filtering as it chlorinates?
I finally figured out the Boost mode after three days and after running it last night until this morning I actually have chlorine in the pool, so the process is working

Haha very appropriate question. Our pool builder company was here opening the pool and did some initial trouble shooting etc. But since it was electrical and they were just doing the opening and moving on to the next, they suggested an electrician to replace the breaker. I've understood this to be an easy diy thing, and along the lines of replacing ceiling lights and switches etc which I'm comfortable doing. Especially since it's a weekend with no electrician in sight until maybe 3-4 days from now, this seemed like something I could try first, and if it works, great. If not, I still make the electrician call tomorrow. But like I said, I rocked and pulled/pushed relatively firmly with no luck, so just wanted to crowd source if there was some trick to this that wasn't obvious. We'll give it a more aggressive go with this reassurance it isn't rocket science. Thanks!I'm sorry but I have to ask how you know the breaker is bad, but not how to remove it. It takes more skill to know how to troubleshoot and replacing a breaker is long covered by then.

Pentair tech support suggests testing their new ones before installation. The sensor may be tested with an ohm meter (3.8 MegOhms @ 77F).
If you decide to get a new SFS, check the stack flue temp when you get it back together and running to confirm that the stack flue temps are where they should be, and not too high.
