    Ichlor 30

    I have a blinking green cell light and the % lights read "CELL". pH has been brought to 7.0. Cell has been cleaned (again). Just raised salt to test at 3600 ppm. Still CELL. We recently added some higher alkalinity water to the pool, but I wouldn't think that would trip it to not function...

    Working on a SLAM

    First time I've had my water get cloudy. I think I had my chlorinator set to low and something starting growing. Anyway, wife noticed water was cloudy when she opened the pool. I bought 3-4 gallons of bleach threw them in and left it for several hours and FC was zero. Tried it again with 5...

    Chlorinator Issue - No Communication - Pentair

    I have an Ichlor 30 which was working fine. Eventually I got an error indicating the flow meter was no longer working. I did a test by holding the more button to check details. About 1907 hours of use. Degrees fahrenheit didn't read. I bought a replacement flow meter and installed today wiring...

    Water Feels "Hard" - Calcium Hardness?

    I've been balancing water chemistry via the TFP method for a couple years. We run SWG, and despite having good levels of salt in the water, our water still feels "Hard". I just did a CH test, and we are about 250. Our refill water from the city is at least this high. I think our pool water...

    Pentair IC40 Issues - ICHLOR 30

    I had our pool installed in September 2016. Got a new SWG IC40. Use it last year and it seemed fine, no issues. My flow would be sufficient at 2100-2200 RPM on my pump. This year, my IC40 has been flakey. Flow is seldom high enough. Have raised it to 2600 and 3,000 RPM on the pump just to...

    Swimsuit yellowing?

    We opened our pool and things have been going well. Wife noticed today that our daughter's swimsuit had yellowing. First google response blames the chrlorine. I'm running CYA of about 90 in a salt water pool. My chlorine was 14 this morning when I checked it which is higher than my target of...

    A few random thoughts

    Did a new pool build last year, had it open for September and October before closing. Opening now. Water looks great but working to lower TA from over 200. A couple random thoughts. I have a variable speed pump. I set it to run at a 2100 RPM or so for 22 hours per day to keep the SWG flow...

    New pool - A few questions

    Hi, I have a 22k gallon vinyl in ground pool with Salt Water Generator. We just filled the pool a couple days ago. Did my first chlorine reading yesterday and it was nothing. Realized I actually need to have the pump running fast enough for it to work. Set it at 60% (Pentair Intellichlor) to...
