Yes Tom, you did fix my indoor unit. Much appreciated and thanks for responding again this time. I'd love for you to take a look at what I have here. Should I just package up the mother and daughter boards from the Intellitouch plus the inside unit and send the whole lot to you? At the moment...

Hi All, trying to determine if its time to replace the Intellitouch panel electronics. About a month ago after a thunderstorm, my inside wall controller started blinking and making a high-pitched squeal. I disconnected it, planning to diag when I had time. All else was working fine. A week...

I ordered the 40K from Discount Pools with a 10,000 hr rating. $600 delivered. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks Mdragger88. I just checked out the DSP site and it lists the CircuPool® CIR-GEN9 and CircuPool® CIR-GEN15 as 10,000 hours. My existing cell was a replacement for a 40,000 gallon cell, so my existing one is also rated for 40,000 gallons. Since my pool is 15,000, this seems overkill at...

HI All, I bought a Salt Solutions T-15 cell in July 2020 and it was working fine until about a month ago, which would be 3 years since install. My voltage is 23.9V but instant salt reading is -1900. Tried the procedure for recalibrating and could not get the instant reading to stay above -2000...

I was rebuilding and cleaning my MinimaxNT and it works great, but during the removal of the burner tray, I found much of the insulation attached to the front and back of the tray frame had fallen to pieces. I'd like to replace it with the same or similar. It is quite thin at about 1/4" and the...

Problem solved. Found a broken clip on the air hose. Replaced with a tie wrap. Working fine now.

Never mind. Given the Fenwal air pressure fault, I jumpered the air pressure sensor input once it was fired up, and the heater kept running until i removed the jumper. I went back and checked the air pressure sensor again and it is no longer closing when the blower is running. I'll check the...

Hi all, I had an E04 code on the Minimax with no flame. After the work below, I get a flame, but the heater now cycles, dropping out of the heating status, and eventually shows E04 again along with the Service light and the Fenwal Ignition module blinks once, which is supposedly an air flow...

I checked my parts and found that I had bought 2 chassis for the Racer a few years ago, one for a complete rebuild at the time and a spare just in case. I also had enough spare parts to completely rebuild the Racer and get it working again. Good foresight I guess and $0 extra bucks spent. I'm...

Great info. Thanks all! I haven't considered a robot since I'm already set up with relatively new booster and the unit just runs daily for a couple of hours. I have a lot of leaves and seeds from winds and storms here in Houston so a daily cleaning is almost essential.

Thanks Mike. I'll be staying with a pressure side unit since mine works fine, but interested in alternatives to the Racer. I was reviewing the Polaris 280, which seems to be well liked and reasonably priced but several reviews suggest it doesn't do well on stairs or with small debris on the pool...

I'll also add that I'm not averse to just buying another frame if I can find one. I've already done that once. However, for some reason the new Racer frame I bought was not exactly the same as the original one and I had to modify it to make it fit. If someone knows where to buy a new frame, I'll...

Hi all. I have a Pentair Racer that is likely 10 years older or more. It came with my house and I've pretty much fixed every part of it once or twice, including plastic soldering 2 axles. Either way, the frame is finally destroyed and I'm considering a complete replacement with same or a...

Thanks Ogdento. I was able to find the indoor panel firmware version is 1.023. The outdoor unit must have been updated at some point before 5 years ago as theat's when I bought the house and I installed the VSF 2 years ago. The ScreenLogic is able to control the VSF though it does seem a bit...
