    Pentair IC60 creates chlorine when first turned on and then flashes "inspect cell"

    Why is it insane that the controls determine the cell performance is unacceptable? Would you like it to keep running when it is not producing the expected levels?

    Connecting a Pentair Superflow VST pump to my Easytouch

    Do you have the circuits like I discussed? Are other circuits than the P running? It can take the EasyTouch a 24 hour cycle to get changed schedules in synch. And if you manually turn P on or off it disrupts the schedule cycle for 24 hours.

    Help! New pool owner planning equipment pad remodel/replumbing

    Cap it off with removable plugs at both ends so you can clean it out if it gets water and algae in it. Or you can make it a fountain like this and turn it on when kids want to play in it.

    Pentair IC60 creates chlorine when first turned on and then flashes "inspect cell"

    I don't know what is "insane" about an electrolysis system starting up and monitoring the voltage and amperage as the chemical process stabilizes to see if it is within expected performance. If not, the control unit shuts it down and notifies you.

    Connecting a Pentair Superflow VST pump to my Easytouch

    You have to go the other way. The default Pool circuit RPM must be the lowest you want. Set the Pool circuit to 2200 RPM and schedule POOL to run 10 AM to 5 PM. Then Setup a Feature Circuit called Pool High and set it to 3000 RPM. Schedule Pool High Circuit for 10 AM to Noon.

    Jets not working

    You mean this Jandy valve? It has nothing to do with your heater. The valve selects between two return lines. As set most water is going down pipe A and maybe 20% is going down pipe B. I would clean away all the dried leaves from around the heater and pipes and pool equipment.

    CH suddenly low?

    I went from having high CH water in my pool to low CH when the water company improved my house water quality and lowered the CH in it. House water tastes and feels different and showers heads no longer get clogged.
