    Pentair IC40 is not generating chlorine

    I would double check the salt level. My IC60 does not produce chlorine very well when it gets below 3000. And I had to recalibrate it before. It was reading green, level ok. But it was actually 2600ish... Chris

    SWG vs Bleach?

    I use the Pentair IC60, 44K pool. I think it works out in my favor compared to bleach. Assuming of course I get 4+ years out of the cell. I would need at least 1 gallon of bleach a day, for at least 200 days out of the year. On the low side this is $200 a year, 4 years $800. Which is about...

    Pentair Gas heater problem!?

    It is fixed, replaced the Thermal Regulator and works like a champ. The old regulator was corroded with some blue stuff. Can the salt do this or did my chems get out of whack? It was quite a project but I added unions this time for easy access if needed in the future. Appreciate the help...

    Pentair Gas heater problem!?

    Bringing this back to the top, as I have the same problem and curious if any solution was found. I called Pentair and they said it sounded like a restricted heat exchanger... Is this something a DIYer can fix/clean? I already changed out the HLS. Chris
