Installed in 2017 I have a green light in the salt level status (1) I have a green light in Flow (5) 3 solid lights in the sanitizer output (6) I'm missing a light in #4. (it was on yesterday) The less/more buttons do not work anymore. No matter how many times I press the Less/More buttons...

This black pipe at the bottom of my pentair DE filter turned on me. Not sure which direction the opening is supposed to be in. Up, down, sideways? Does it matter?

I can’t get the unions from my pentair multi valve off of my pentair DE filter. I have no idea which direction to turn it to losen them. I have a pretty steady leak coming from them and I’m trying to get the multivalve off of the filter so I can inspect & replace parts if needed. I am unable...

My IC-40 salt level is flashing green indicating high salt. I may have put too many bags in at pool opening. Does this mean the SWG is not producing chlorine until it is solid green? Is my only option to drain & add water to fix?

It’s that time of year again for all of us. Im now on my 2nd time opening my pool. My pool looks just as clear as it did when I closed it. It’s currently sitting around 30” of water apx 6k gallons. Do I really need to buy an “opening pool kit” or could I just fill it back up, add some salt...

Opened the pool last month as the water temp was approaching that 60 mark. We had a really bad wind storm that blew, kid you not, 4-5” of sand into my pool. I have cleaned out the dolphin at least 30 times and have had to manually clean out and replace the DE in my 48sqft DE filter twice...

Should I open my SWG pool now or wait a bit longer? Day temps getting up to as high as low 70's but overnight were still dipping below freezing. My plumbing is 3" PVC ran about 12" under ground apx 75' in length. The high winds over the winter completely destroyed my cover so the cover has...

Colorado, sub freezing temperatures. I realize I can’t get every bit of water out of it, but.. Will I be ok by just taking off the spider valve system and letting it drain out & tipping it over to get the most standing water possible out and putting it in my shed or covering it up with a tarp...

I purchased some above ground pool fencing for my 15 x 30 above ground pool with the intention of installing it. After the deck was finished I was going to install it next. The wife decided she didn't want it and I am past the 30 day returns window from the place I purchased it and they wont...

Filled a brand new pool last week. 11,000 gallons I put 6 (40lb) bags into the pool yesterday and the SWG still reading red light (not enough/low salt) I as told tat I should have salt in the water that I filled it with and 6 bags should be plenty. I do have the TF-100 test kit so I can...

Would love to see pictures of your Easy Touches with the circuit panel cover off. I want to compare/guide when I think is correct setup with what you have. Do you use the 2 air/water temperature gauges that came with the Easy Touch? Do you have a main power shut off before the Easy Touch? Not...

My 15' x 30' AGP with 1 skimmer & 1 return is built & filled with water. The plumbing is done, approximately 50' of 2" plumbing for each return & skimmer. I have the following equipment: Pentair Screen Logic Bundle Kit 522104 Pentair FNS Plus FNS48 Pool Filter 180008 Pentair 261152 Triton...

So my 15 x 30 AGP came with a wide mouth Hayward skimmer. The outside of the skimmer has a pipe that extends out the bottom. This pipe has threads on the inside and the outside. It came with a part that screws on the inside and the dimension of this pipe is 1.5" However I do not want to use...

So I finished building the actual pool and filled it yesterday (I'll create a build thread & post them when I'm completely done). I'm now ready to tackle to plumbing process. I want to hard plumb everything with 2" PVC using approximately 100' of pipe (around the pool and to the side of my...

Excavated a little too much on this side. I have no choice but to "build up" on this side as everything on the other side and my 8 middle support poles/pressure plates... everything is already set and leveled. My ground is hard hard and I mean hard clay. There were many spots a shovel and my...

The pool I purchased has the skimmer & return very close to each other, assuming most above ground pools do it this way. I plan on hard pluming the system about 30' away from the pool using 2" PVC. 1) I've been considering adding a 2nd return line on the opposite end of the factory...

15 x 30 above ground pool. After excavating 2 feet, what sand should I go with? concrete sand $15.95/yrd medium play sand $18.95/yrd vollyball fine sand $32.95/yrd Such a big difference in price between the medium play sand and volleyball sand. Is it worth it? I estimate I will need 5yrds

I'm about to purchase a Pentair 520593 EasyTouch 4PSC-IC40 for a very near future 15 x 30 Saltwater above ground pool. I was told I need to run 220v to this unit. Because I am planning on adding an addition behind my 3rd car garage I also will be moving my central air unit from one side of the...

Greetings all !!! New to the site, found you through the all mighty interwebz. I recently moved to Colorado from Michigan and have come to the realization that Coloradans don't fancy the pool as much as Michiganders do even though Colorado gets more "pool time" during the year than...
