When I posted back in July I had started getting emails but it only lasted a few days and then stopped on 7/25/18. I then started getting emails again on 9/19/18 and was receiving till I closed the pool on 10/6/18. I hadn't made any configuration changes so believe the problem is on the Pentair...

Just wanted to update you that I began receiving emails yesterday. Have received 3 so far. I haven't made any changes so I guess Pentair finally fixed the problem with the mail server.

Thanks for the update. I was pretty sure this was on the Pentair side but thought if you were receiving emails again it might be a configuration issue on my end. I'll try calling Pentair again and see if we can't bump the issue up the list. Also will report back if emails start flowing again.

Just curious if you ever got your email alerts working? I was getting them up till about the beginning of May and then they stopped. It took me awhile to realize and have contacted Pentair support a couple times but they are unable to fix. They originally thought problem was old adapter version...

Well I returned from vacation and the new plastic wedge arrived while I was away and I installed it today and seems to do the job and hold the light in place. However when I looked a little closer inside the niche it appears the bonding wire is no longer attached. That explains the extra screw...

Thanks OldPoolMan it looks like the wedge from Pool Tools would do the trick. Getting ready to go on vacation but will have to order when I get back so I can get this fixed.

I have a Pentair Light Model Number W-605860 and Pentair Plastic Light Niche Model Number V233298 in a vinyl liner pool. I don't know exactly how it happened but the cover plate around the light came off which I have a basic idea of how it goes back on with some new hardware. However the real...

The fuse that I removed from the power cell was a 10A/250V not a 12A.

I ended up having my local hardware store order a couple for me so I would have a spare. Just picked them up yesterday. Thanks for the offer of mailing me one though but I am back in business.

Radioshack was my first place to look but they only had 10A 32V slo blo fuses. I'll try a couple auto parts stores and see if I can get lucky. Thanks.

I noticed over the weekend when I was done cleaning the filter basket in the pump and restarting the system that my IC-60 SWG was not working. I discovered the fuse in the power cell was blown and am having a difficult time finding a replacement. The manual says it is a 10 AMP slo blo fuse. I...

I had some water end up back in my DE tank after I blew out the lines and am not exactly sure where it came from either as I had the Multi Port on recirculate when I blew lines and had already drained the DE tank. I assumed it might have been because my spider gasket was not seated correctly and...

Well I got the pool closed yesterday using the sp1022c plugs on the returns. Really had to tighten them down more than I thought to get bubbles to stop on a couple as I needed to use a screw driver shaft to get some leverage to tighten. Went real slow tightening as I didn't want to break...

I had the Multi Port valve in recirculate when I was blowing the lines so the pressure gauge on the DE filter was on zero. The valve is only a couple years old from when the pool was installed in 2010. It has not been rebuilt. I'll try rotating it through the settings to see if stops the leak...
