I am considering installing a heater and after doing some basic research I have narrowed it down to Raypak 406k BTU. My pool guy has given me a quote for $2800 for a Raypak406k digital heaterwith 2 years warranty, 1st year coverd by manufacturer and he covers 2nd year with parts I pay only...

Quick update on my issue. Pentair contracted the service to a local company that wanted me to pay $95 just to come out and I called Pentair & let them that it was unfair for me to pay service fee for a brand new unit. So they shipped a new cell to me for $25 (shipping). I received it today. I...

I checked all connections and opened the flow switch part to see if theres any obstruction to water flow, everything seems to be perfect including the placement. Attached is a picture of the assembly, plesae let me know if you see anything incorrect. I called Pentair today and explained the...

Please Help! My FC 5 PH 7.2 Salt 3600 ppm CYA in the water but hasn't registered yet I turned-on my IC40 today. Salt indicators are flashing red and green continuously. Power is green, flow is showing red solid and cell light is off. Its been running for about 30 mins. Does it take this long...

Water was replaced and inline chlorinator was only run for about 2 hours at the time of test so results must be good. CYA is in the skimmer for 2 days with pump running so it should be in the water now. Thanks.

Thanks Jason. Looks like salt is all gone in about 5 hours! brushing must have helped. Salt level is 3600ppm just perfect i think may be a bit high Pentair recommends 3400ppm. PH is 7.2 checked FC again its at 10ppm so lowered the chlirinator setting. Cant wait to start the IC40!

Controller was wired to go with 215 so wiring went smooth. We turned pump on and the IC40 turned on as well with flashing lights indicating low salt as i had zero. After running it for an hour or 2, unplugged the IC40 from controller. Pump is currently running with inline chlorinator (tabs)...

patf11 & Jason, Thanks for the quick response! I'll let the electrician know of this (he's coming to wire at 3PM today) and thanks also for saving cost for a new timer and time to install all of it!

Hi All, Opened my pool about a month ago to find a huge hole and half empty pool. Liner was about 11 years old. I put in a new liner and so thought of converting to SWCG. This is my 2nd year and last year I did BBB method i enjoyed it but i had problems when I was traveling and not able to take...

Thanks Duraleigh. Yes now i realize that was probably my main issue why it took so long, but all the junk I didn't know existed down there didn't help the situation either. Now that the pool is clear I can finally move on to other things like landscaping etc.... I would like your opinion...

Sorry for the delayed response, I was busy preparing for the move, still packing... I'd like to thank everyone here, my water is crystal clear!! Its unbelievable, I never thought I would get anything close to this clarity being a new owner. Attached are some pictures, Above clarity was...

Chemgeek - I'll try to add DE, where can I buy this stuff? I am sure the aquabot is vacuuming everything there in the deepend. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response & support. 257 - I read how to add DE to sand filter, thanks. This process seems to be an easy process and would like to definitely try but where can I buy DE? And is there specific brand or form (powder/granular etc..) I need to watch for? Backwash was done just...

I am a new pool owner, this is my 2nd post. I started the shock process over a week ago, thanks to this forum! Pool really looks great with clear water. I have some pictures attached below. I think I have a leak in the liner, loosing more than an inch & half a day, I have left several messages...
