Thanks for everyone's input I'll probably get a new IC 60 which is what I have been using.

I have had a salt pool since 2010 and am considering going to a chlorine pool. I have gone through two Pentair IC 40 cells and now my IC60 needs to be replaced, and they have gotten very expensive. Prices of chlorine have also gone through the roof. My water comes from own well and it high in...

Yes , old board worked just like when I took it out. Heater comes on shows temp at 1 degree, and runs about 5 minutes then goes to E01 and service heater light comes on, no other error lights.

My Pentair Mastertemp 400 runs for a few minutes then goes to E01 error which is Thermister error, and then service heater light comes on. I replaced the thermistor but the problem continues. Spoke to Pentair customer service and they said most likely control board is bad. So I ordered an new...

This is a new thread relating to an older thread a year ago. On damp heavy fog days breaker trips on start up. As others suggested, I finally replaced the 20 amp GFCI breaker over the weekend. Today was damp and breaker tripped. Motor was replaced May of 2018 and this problem has existed since...

Thanks again, the breakers are actually sq. D> Plan on getting some new ones and change hem out and see what happens

Thanks, When things get over my head, I have Used Mary's pool service in Weimer, she is a Pentair dealer and has a really good technician. Talked to a few in Brenham and wasn't too impressed. If you have a pool in the country you better do good in pool school as it has to be watched daily...

TStex, Thanks for the reply. I do have a 20amp GFCI breaker, just not sure of the make. Everything is Pentair until motor was replaced with a Century. I guess I might try replacing the breaker just to see what happens. Since you are in the next county, do you have someone that you use or...

Had a new pool pump motor installed a few months ago. Works good except sometimes after a rain or damp foggy days it will trip a breaker on start up. After a few hours when the day warms up it will eventually start. Is moisture getting in the motor or capacitor and why or where. It is a century...

Where in Houston

The water supply line broke at the bottom of my autofill. I thought it would be an easy fix as there is a PVC slip fitting that is made with flats so a wrench or socket go on it.To my surprise I found out that the fitting which is threaded into bottom of autofill is glued in at factory. So it...

I was at the Walmart in Brenham, TX yesterday and they have the 10% at $2.50. It was showing as a price rollback. I was able to get them to give it to me in the shipped cartons (three to a box) instead of individual bottles. Good stuff. They didn't know how long it would be at this price.

Thank you James. I use cheater pipes quite as I live on a ranch,was just reluctant as the pentair wrench is plastic. I got lucky. Thanks again

Used two cheater pipes slow constant pressure and the dome broke free. My daughter is here for Easter and has advanced training regarding Orings valves etc.on the oil field. She said I put the dome on too tight.

I have the wrench, but I need more. Don't understand turning on pump for ten seconds, that just puts pressure back in system. James, you are correct, I am just trying to unscrew dome closure. It came off very easy last week, now it won't budge. Only thing I can think of is I put it back on too...
