Are there any bubbles coming out of the returns(is it making any chlorine at all)? If so, then I think that you should turn off the IC40, and use bleach to: (a.) shock until the algae is gone,(it's eating the chlorine faster than the IC can make it, you will NEVER be able to kill it with the IC...

Other costs you may want to consider- Bleach - $1.50/96oz., you WILL want it on hand for shocking(if needed.) You'll need 6.6 jugs if you are at 4 FC and want to shock to 21 (with a CYA of 80.)(http://www.poolcalculator.com/)(Most SWG recommend against use of calcium bound chlorine normally sold...

I don't see that you've listed what brand filter that you have, but you might have a problem similar to the one I described in this thread - http://www.troublefreepool.com/testing-a-sand-filter-any-ideas-t19811-20.html Good Luck, and best wishes

rest of the pics - looks like the order I wanted them in didn't stick. Good Luck, and Best Wishes!

Well I was mistaken about the voltage - it should be 39. You are correct about the wiring, here are some pics that might help. You can see the rectifier board marked data, data, ground(black) and 39V(red.) Those 4 wires then go to the keyed connector- green, red, white, black in a circle with...

I think that when I put a meter on mine (connected to the dry IC40 to test it) I got 36VDC. The IC4o itself has regulators for its controls and relays, and will probably work with any DC voltage in the range specified on page 15 of the manual linked below, which you might find useful. "Output...

Just Googled "Aquarite Repair", 'cause I remember that they use a varistor that fails on occasion, and found this link full of info that you might find useful - http://www.doityourself.com/forum/pools-spas-hot-tubs/355004-aquarite-chlorine-generator.html Hope it helps!

People leave the "c" out all of the time! What you bought is really a "swcg" which stands for Salt Water Chlorine Generator, and you really need to understand how chlorine works to keep your pool safe, whether you generate it yourself, or pour it out of a bleach bottle. Pool...

You should have a manual. If your installer didn't give you one, here is a link http://www.autopilot.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=81&Itemid=127 Look at pages 20-22. Good Luck!

I like the idea, and would have been interested in purchase, had I not embarked on a simple controller already. Comparing to a pentair, jandy, or other system is not fair, as they are so old, technology-wise. The open source part of your solution is going to appeal to anyone who has ever tried...
