Hi Jim R., Do you mind sharing the walk-through for testing the EasyTouch w/ on-board SWCG power with me? My Intellichlor IC40 keeps tripping the little breaker too, and I'd like to isolate whether it's the power supply or cell (both approx. 6 yrs old) before springing for a replacement IC40...

I just realized I never followed-up on this. I tried the purpose built tool recommended by rccarps2 but the pins bent to about 45 degrees and the fitting didn't budge. After that I got serious. Flat blade screwdriver whacked with a hammer finally got it to start to twist, but it kept hanging...

Which is exactly what I'd like to do...except it would mean tearing out the existing in-wall fittings and conduit, since the conduit behind the 1 1/2" lens fitting is only a 1" diameter and is too small to insert one of the new LED retrofit units into. I figured that the LED illuminator in...

Thanks for the bump! I'm bummed that there wasn't a single response... I was hopeful someone out there had some experience (good or bad) to share.

Greetings, I've searched several ways and not found anything on this topic, so hopefully this hasn't been asked/answered a dozen times already... Does anyone have experience with the ION-8000 LED illuminator for fiber optic pool lights? http://www.inyopools.com/Products/00100015077531.htm...

mrpoolman, I know this is an old thread, but I'm curious what your solution ended up being. Do you mind sharing what you came up with? I have a similar situation...my Fiberstars 2008 illuminator was junk when we bought this house. Fiber cables are still in place, but I don't want to replace...

You could also install a indoor control panel which might give you some additional control options over the 4-button spa-side. You'd need to mount it in a weather-protected location, but perhaps inside your shed would work.

Pool Clown, That's a great explanation of the features (limitations) of the different settings! I have in-floor cleaning heads, but I didn't want them cycling every 20 mins. I also don't have a separate cleaner pump, as the in-floor heads are plumbed in with the main filter pump and are...

Hmmm... Since I don't plan to reuse the fiber optic lens or strands, I may just go for a brute-force attack and break it up if needed. My main concern at this point is to avoid damaging the female threads on the in-wall fitting, as I'll need them for the replacement LED unit.

I have a defunct Fiberstars lighting system in the pool and spa that I will be replacing with a niche-less LED system. I can't get this fitting out from the spa wall. The PVC is just under 2" diameter. Is there a special tool I should purchase? Local pool store guy didn't know what I was...

Lesson learned! Thanks!

Jim, It didn't seem to fix things at first, but this evening everything shut down at 6PM as it was supposed to, and the 20 hi/20 low cycling seems to have stopped. I'm still scratching my head!

Thanks Jim. I did have the cleaner circuit setup as a "Cleaner" function, so I reset it to "Generic." After babysitting this thing all morning and keeping notes, I see that the pump is toggling between the two speeds on 20 minute cycles. I can't see anything in my ScreenLogic setup that would...
