That is kind of what I was thinking as well. I do have automation. Thank you for your insight.

Ok. Thanks. I didn't know what the trade grade label meant. Does that mean in-store or from pool retailer?

I just found IC40's on Woot for 1k. Cheaper than pool stores or other online stores of course. That said, Pentair rep told me that if the part number doesn't start with EC then it only has a one year warranty vs a two year warranty. So has anyone purchased an one off Woot before and can confirm...

Sorry. One more question. Will I save money in the long run going with the 60K assuming I get more life out of it by running at a lower percentage? It looks like it's about $500 more. I am just not sure it's worth it because of the variables involved. Thanks.

Thank you both! Exactly what I needed to know.

So my Intellichlor IC40 started flashing the inspect cell light today. I acid washed which really didn't do anything and did not bubble at all. Put it back in and powered it up and same thing. I checked the salt level using Taylor kit. Salt level in good range. I believe that most likely my cell...

At 3k rpm psi was 7.5. I have a robot. I don't ever vac to skimmer. Here is what it looks like.

Hi, this is my first time dealing with this particular issue. I opened a little late this year and have a mess cover so I had more algae than I typically do to get cleaned up at opening. This is my 13th summer with this pool so I've done this a lot. Completed the SLAM process last Friday...

Good thought. Honestly, since it was 13 years ago I forgot exactly how they connected the flex to the rigid and I was nervous about breaking any joints with putting too much pressure on it. Looking at those old pics makes me think that I can probably do what you are suggesting without causing...

I did not install all those ball valves. My pool builder did when they built the pool. I never thought about trying to bend that piece. I've never tried anything like that before.

I have been dealing with leak at the unions of my SWG the past couple of years and I want to actually be proactive in fixing it so I know longer have a leak at my SWG unions this next swim season. Basically, the issue is that the return lines have settled and are now too much lower than the line...
