Thanks for all of the replies - I truly appreciate it. I checked the diagnostics on the Easy Touch and it simply said to clean the cell. I had just done that but did it a second time. When I had the cell out I took a closer look and the very center plate was missing from one end and when I...

Greetings, I have a Pentair IC40 that was installed in late 2010 and the "Cell" light was blinking green. The flow and salt lights were good so I pulled it out to clean. It had a good deal of buildup so I acid washed it completely and reinstalled. The blinking green light is still blinking...

Greetings, I thought I would report on a successful repair of two valve actuators that stopped working on me. Rather than spend a few hundred bucks replacing them I poked around inside and found that the limit switches that start and stop the valves were faulty. A quick search on ebay led to...

Just wanted to add my voice to the Magic Eraser method - just tried it and it worked perfectly. I would not call it abrasive at all and my 15 year old daughter went around the whole pool in about 15 minutes!

I got the Twister installed today and it seems to work in keeping the cleaner from getting stuck on the stairs, etc. I did have to remove my leaf canister however as it tended to cause the system to float and the Twister then sucks in air. I have very few leaves in the pool anyway so this is...

Mine are 2.5 years old. How old is too old?

Greetings, I was wondering if anyone out there can point me to where I can find a solution to my problems with my Kreepy Krauly. The fact that it gets caught at the stairs is bad enough but now it is getting itself hung up at the location where the suction line comes out of the wall of the...

Here is a shot of the motherboard. It is from June 2012. Let me know if you want to buy it by email at the address I gave earlier. Thanks Tom

Sure - my email is tomzo "at" cox.net .

I do and it is available. I am heading out now but can post pics later. Tom

The chlorine was getting lost to the sun as it was being generated - there was very low chlorine - lower than I had reported. The pH was a tad high too, but the CYA level was the main culprit.

Turns out it was low CYA - added some and things have stabilized. Thanks

Got it - I will get those numbers together and re-post
