Thanks for the replies. Obviously not what I wanted to hear. I guess it’s CL tabs for now and it’s time to start shopping for a new cell.

Hi all, I've read several threads on this topic and haven't been able to find a solution to the issue I'm having here. I came home from travel last week and the pool had a tinge of green to it. I found a flashing green cell light on the Pentair Intellichlor and it appears to not be producing...

I went with option one. That seems to have done the trick.

bump....any inputs at all? Thanks.

Hey all, Today I finally had all the parts and enough to time to attempt to resurrect my dead Penatair Color Wheel lights. I replaced the bulbs with halogens and also had to replace the thermal switches in both lights. I was unable to find the temperature specs for the original thermal...

So we passed the OCLT this morning with only a 1/2 ppm drop over night. Yesterday I did a deep filter cleaning and pulled out a bunch of crud. My wife said looked like I was birthing a calf as I was reaching inside the filter to gather some of the heavier crud that wouldn't overflow out...

I have a dilemma. Wednesday morning the overnight loss was 1.5 ppm. This morning the overnight loss was 3 ppm 16 -> 13. CC is at 0. So that's clearly a fail and a disappointment. The pool is clear, actually it's crystal clear and a color of blue it's never been in the brief time I've...

I started my SLAM Sunday night. I'm close to being done. 2 of 3 conditions pass and I'm 1/2ppm off on the Overnight Loss test. Assuming I pass tomorrow it will have been a Sunday - Thursday process, and I could see the bottom of my pool when I decided to start. Good luck, but go home and...

OCLT update. This morning we were at FC -12 / CC - 0. That's a 1.5 ppm drop over night. ALMOST THERE! I'm guessing I have one more day of the SLAM and we'll be done. Fingers crossed.

I did a backwash last night prior to taking the OCLT start reading. Deep cleaning the filter makes sense. The pool sat closed for a couple seasons while the home was in foreclosure. Given how gross the water was when the cover was removed, anything is possible in the filter. That being said...

Thanks Kim. We got lucky finding this place. That's for certain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

OCLT finish pt FC - 10 CC - 0 Added more bleach and left for work. FC should jump to just over 13. Pool is clear and with CC so low; I'm surprised by the amount of FC loss overnight. Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
