    <2yr old IC40 seems broken

    Was getting the pool ready for swimming and all seemed okay, but yesterday I noticed no bubbles coming from the jets, and the Cell LED was flashing green indicating "Check Cell". I have not checked the chemistry yet, but the water was okay last time I did check (a month ago?) My IC40 was bought...

    Replace IC40 with IC40 or...?

    Okay, so my 3-year-old IC40 is now blinking, and I'm a bit annoyed as this is the 4th cell we've had in 12 years (3 year avg life) for a 12000gal pool. A new cell costs another $500, but given the frustration I've had over the years with these things, I'm considering changing over to an in-line...

    Intellichlor IC40 milky output

    I noticed since we installed a VSP (two years ago), our Intellichor IC40 output has been kinda milky looking. I hadn't thought much about it while the water was clear figuring it was because of running the pump at lower rpm (e.g. 1400) making it visible. But a few weeks ago, the flow sensor...

    Noticed pool lights on 2AM

    The other morning I woke up at dawn and noticed my pool lights were on. I went to investigate and saw the IC40 chlorinator was lit like Christmas, but the pool pump was not on (it has its own timer). I *thought* maybe the light schedule had gotten mucked up, so later in the day I deleted the...

    New Pentair VS - how long to run per day?

    Hi folks, I live in Arizona, and the local pool shop guy said for the salt chlorinater to have a hope of working I should be running my pump 10-11 hours a day. That was expensive with the old Whisperflo single speed. So, I bought a Pentair VS and installed it just yesterday. Today it's running...

    Hello from Mesa, AZ!

    Hi folks, I just joined earlier today. Obviously being in Mesa we have a lot of heat in the summer, so the pool is essential. Ours is about 12000 gallons with a waterfall/grotto and salt chlorinator, but it's ten years old now and, well, I'm interested in bringing it up to par so to speak, and...

    Pentair vs Hayward energy star numbers: please explain

    Hi, I currently have a 10-year old single speed 1HP Pentair pump and am looking to replace it with a variable speed. The two main choices I'm looking at are Hayward SP2303VSP and the Pentair Superflo VS. Both of these are comparably priced, both are pretty similar, and both are Energy Star...
