    Help with my SWCG

    Hahaha, no the pool's out in the desert. The price was $750 compared to over $1,000 (most hovering around $1,400) for the IC60...if it's in stock, which I haven't found any lately anyway.

    Help with my SWCG

The threads matched so no cutting of plumbing was necessary and the lead connected to the easy touch same as the...

    Help with my SWCG

    Turning the chlorinator on/off repeatedly kept it working through the weekend. The plates were fine so it's either the electronics in the Intellichlor or the easy touch.

    Help with my SWCG

    I don't need help often, but when I do it tends to be because of the SWG. I installed an IC60 in 3/2018, which was courtesy replaced by Pentair 5/2020. That cell just died yesterday. As I'm searching around for solutions to my blinking green light I'm noting all of the posts of other users who...

    Possible algae or other stain?

    I put a lot of information in my post so my questions might be overlooked.

    Possible algae or other stain?

    Here are my pool data (relevant stats are in my sig): FC: 12 pH: 7.0 TA: 110 CH: 300 CYA: 30 Salt: 3000 Temp: 82 F CSI: -0.59 These are the parameters as of this afternoon. I brought the CYA up to 30 instead of 0 and started another SLAM. I was going to do a complete SLAM and then spike it to...

    Would you be willing to rent out or loan your equipment? I'd like to do this update, as well.

    How to perform firmware upgrade on Pentair* controllers

    I'm a faculty member so I can obtain a discounted software license, but is anyone renting/lending the hardware units out for updates instead of each of us building a kit?
