Skiddy, I like this place... https://www.polytecpools.com/Pentair-IntelliChlor_c_367.html Thanks, Jim R.

Mike, Try this first and see what you can feel or find.. Depending on the impeller style, junk from trees can get into it and clog it up. The impeller can also break or crack or ...

Scott, Logically, one of two things is happening.. The flow from your pump, through the filter, and back to the pool is less than it used to be.. Maybe a clogged impeller.. or heater core or.. The Spa is losing water, due to a leaking Intake valve. What filter do you have and what is the...

G, I agree with Allen... It sounds like an impeller problem to me... Thanks, Jim R.

Mike, A pain, for sure, but I see no other option at this point.. Thanks, Jim R.

S, The IntelliCenter just reports what the salt level was, last time it was checked... Thanks, Jim R.

a, Was your SWCG off as you were doing the SLAM?? It should be off.. I always recommend doing one extra day when ending a SLAM.. Just to make sure. Thanks, Jim R.

Scud, To see the spa SWCG output, you have to put the system into the spa mode.. Push the button... :mrgreen: Jim R.

Nathan, If the cell is disconnected and it throws the breaker, then the surge card is bad.. If the cell is connected, then disconnect the cell and run the test again.. If the breaker does not pop with the cell disconnected than the cell is bad.. With the cell disconnected, do you get the...

The IntelliChlor, measures salt when it initially starts up, and then every 12 hours after that.. There is no button to push to measure the salt level. In my opinion, all Saltwater pool owners need to be able to test and determine what the "actual" salt level is in their pools, so that they...

Scud, My Android app works.. :scratch: If I am in the Pool mode, it shows the SWCG output for just the Pool.. If I am in the Spa mode, it shows the SWCG output for just the Spa.. If I go to Chemistry and edit, it will allow me to set both the Pool output and the Spa output.. Thanks, Jim R.

T, I think it is pretty normal for people with heaters to have to run between 1500 and 1800 rpm... I run at 1200 rpm, but I don't have a heater. The question still is... did it used to work well at 1500??? If it did, then something changed.. I was just listing things that 'might' cause...

Cel, I'm betting that you have to have an active wifi at the sight to run a schedule.. :mrgreen: But.. I've been wrong about 25 times, just today... I guess we will see, Thanks, Jim R.

Cel, I am not sure if the schedule is stored in the Power Center or in the app itself??? Jim R.

Wayne, I have been using robots for about 20 years... In the DFW area pools are open 365.. Until recently, I had three pools that all had robots used year round.. The two robots at my rent house stayed in the water 24/7/365, unless the tenants took them out to swim, which did not happen in...

F, I suspect the cell is just fine... :mrgreen: Here is a quick test... 1. Set the cell's output to 50%.. 2. The 'Cell' light should come on for about 2.5 minutes and then go off for 2.5 minutes.. This just keeps repeating.. 3. If the cell light is working correctly, then the cell is...

T, Thanks for the pics.. Anything that the water has to pass through to get back to the pool causes a reduction in flow.. When you have a heater, even if not used, then normally you have to run faster to move the same amount of water if you did not have the heater in the return path. The key...

T, Tell us about your pool or show us some pics of your equipment pad.. Do you have a heater? I doubt your crawler will run at 1500, but in most pools the skimmer will work just fine. Just because you don't see a lot of 'action' at the skimmer, does not mean it is not working.. If your look...

Nathan, Salt cell do NOT use up the salt.. Sigh!!! Are you saying the cell is on 100% because all the sanitizer lights are all on?? Does this system also have an IntelliChem connected? Thanks, Jim R.

York, Here is a quick test you can do... 1. Unscrew the cell from the bottom of the EasyTouch. 2. Reset the breaker (if possible) Needs to be on.. 3. Drop the front panel down and look at the card mounted to the back wall of the EasyTouch. 4. See if the little green power led is on.. 5...

Mike, Did you try by-passing your heater and SWCG? It appears you have a valve to do that.. If you had algae, I would 'assume' your filter pressure would go up.. Does the flow get better after a backwash? At this point, If this were my pool, I would remove the motor and inspect the...

@tplee All the people that 'work' here are volunteers.. We do not have ads.. So, while I might be cheap labor, someone has to pay for the servers and infrastructure that keeps us on the air. This is normally done with a one time donation to become a supporter. In my case, I signed up for...

Mike, Pool with Spas are designed to be in the pool mode (with spillover) most of the time.. They are not designed to keep the spa hot or even warm.. Basically, when you want to use the spa, you turn it on and wait (forever) for the spa to heat up.. You use the spa, and then put the system...

Uh, "As far as I know" is not going to cut it... :mrgreen: Step one is to determine what voltage is being used to power the cell now?? Thanks, Jim R.

Nikon, I suspect there is more there than a cracked tile.. It appears to be the the top of the bond beam is cracked and is separating.. Let's see what @1poolman1 thinks... I have never had that work done, so have no clue on the cost.. I doubt it will be cheap.. :( Sorry, Jim R.

cel, I'm pretty sure you have to have the app to schedule.. There is no place on the Power Center to enter a schedule. That said, I am not absolutely sure, so I recommend that you call Marina Pool and Spa and see what they say. Edit... I don't use the app much and recently had to...

Nick, You are supposed to take all the grids apart and clean them.. Then put them back together... The first time I did that I almost cried... :mrgreen: it took me an hour to finally get them back together... It now just takes a couple of minutes.. I gave up on DE filters a long time...

83, All their 3-wire cables are the same, except for length and if it has a swivel or not.. Thanks, Jim R.
