I have a Pentair Suntouch Control System. I also have a 2 speed high/low pump. This past week weather temperature in my area was below freezing for several days and my freeze protection kicked on, but in low pump mode. In past years, when in freeze protection, the pump would kick into high...

Wow! After what….30 minutes. No more bubbles. Not even from the return furthest away. I’m going to keep my SWCG off for the rest the day and give the generator a wash. But I’m still going to replace the O rings on the filter and plug. I’ve my pool for about 5 years now.

The return closest to the pump has no bubbles. The return in the shallow barely has water coming out (few bubbles), but the return furthest away from the pump has bubbles constantly coming out.

At what point with the SWCG off, time wise, should I see a difference?

So leave the pump running, just unplug the salt generator?

I have a two speed pump with 3 returns. When my pump is in low mode, all 3 returns are working, but shooting out a lot of bubbles. Sometimes, when I’m home to observe, no water comes out of the shallow end return. However, when the pump is in high, all 3 returns shoot out water as they always...

Ok. I got my new water testing equipment… Hardness….200 Free Chlorine…5 Total Chlorine…6 Cyanuric Acid…30-50 Total Alkalinity…120 PH….7.0 Salt….4500 While waiting for the water testing equipment, I did a little research on how to reduce the calcium in my water. I added a gallon of acid over a...

I downloaded the poolmath app and it will not give me a CSI reading due to missing information. I’ll have to get myself a test kit that will give me more information on my water 60%

What is CSI?

I recently upgraded my salt generator from a IC15 to an IC60. I have a fiberglass pool, 25k gallon. (IC15 was the original cell issued by the pool company). Thankfully the IC15 finally died and I was able to upgrade. However, now I’m having trouble finding the right setting for my IC60. I...

Hello everyone…I’m back! My IC 15 died…thankfully. I upgraded to a IC 60. (25k gallon pool) and I’m having a hard time finding the right setting. I run my pump for 15 hours…from 7am to 10pm. High setting from 12 noon to 4pm. If I set my IC 60 to 6% (3 lights) I’m finding a lot of white residue...

This is the 2nd IC 15 for me. And it’s already past its warranty. I’m prepared to pay for the correct salt generator for my pool. Down side….it ain’t cheap.
