    Replacing Pentair iChlor30 chlorinator

    I need to replace my Pentair iChlor30 chlorinator. If I have 13000-gallon pool and Pentair iChlor30, should I replace it with Intellichlor SWCG IC20 or Intellichlor SWCG IC40?

    Pentair iChlor30 Issues

    I will do the SLAM, but that does not explain the lights or no temperature on the sensor. I called the manufacturer and all they could tell me was "call a professional" to check out the chlorinator. I hate to call a professional and get charged $200 just so they can tell me the Chlorinator is...

    Pentair iChlor30 Issues

    But why would that cause the Flow Senser not to display the temperature and the lights to blink like the Flow Sensor is bad? The result from Taylor K-2005 is 9.

    Pentair iChlor30 Issues

    I am having issues with my Chlorinator, looking at the lights and no temperature reading it looks like the Flow Switch is bad, but I replaced the Flow Switch with the factory part and it did not change anything. The Chlorinator still works although I have to set it at around 85% which is about...

    Pentair Mastertemp 200 - Making Loud Whine Noise

    Moved from HERE Hi! I have the same heater but it's 3 years old, and the same noise problem. I have replaced the thermal regulator, but still the same noise. When I remove the regulator, the noise goes away. Have you been able to find out the cause of the noise on your system? Thank You Peter

    Automatic Pool Cover in Winter

    When I put on my Winter Safety Cover should I open my Automatic Pool Cover, or should I leave it closed or does it many any difference? Thank You.

    Can't get chlorine level to come up

    Thanks! The water is clear, no issues there. The invisible stuff I have an issue with. Something is eating the FC, but not for long. I am not a pool person swimming-wise - it's too wet, but I enjoy taking care of it, my wife loves it and the rain is supposed to stop in the morning so she might...

    Can't get chlorine level to come up

    Thanks! I was looking at the wrong chart! And I did fail the Overnight Chlorine Test so I will be SLAMing my pool before adjusting CYA.

    Can't get chlorine level to come up

    Why CYA up to 80, the chart shows 80* - with the asterisk? I don't know if it's "easy peasy" but it's fun.

    Can't get chlorine level to come up

    I did sweep the pool this morning and the same thing happened a white/greyish subsistence coating the robot filter. I do sweep the pool on regular basis with a wire brush but only the floor, not the walls. I did the walls this morning and I did have the grayish cloud where I was sweeping...

    Can't get chlorine level to come up

    CYA is at 50, it was at 70 last week and for a few weeks prior. I usually run the SWG at 30% for 6 to 8 hours and it was fine until now. The guy that installed the pool told me to run it at 20%, but that did not last long. I have not been running my pump at night. I did not do the Overnight...

    Can't get chlorine level to come up

    Three days ago I checked the chlorine and it was right on, the next day my wife, granddaughter, and the granddog was in the pool for a couple of hours. Yesterday I checked the chlorine and there was none. Normally the chlorine generator runs at 30%, I raised that 60% and run it for about 8...

    Leaky Lights

    I had a dispute with my pool builder about electrical conduits not buried deep enough, but long story short I did not pay for the electrical work and instead fixed the issue myself. In order to lower the conduits, I had to cut them. After I cut the conduits I noticed water coming out out of the...
