The last two times I've vacuumed the pool, there was a lot of algae on the bottom. As I vacuumed, the algae and dirt started squirting out the return jets, causing the pool to get cloudy fast and obscure the bottom. I use a variable speed pump, and it was set for 2500 RPM, resulting in about 10...

I am finally getting around to installing a 3 HP Intelliflo VSF pump to replace my old 1 HP single-speed. I got a previous recommendation to run it 24/7 at 1200 rpm, so thats what I'll do. I'll set my RJ 45 salt cell at 45% and monitor the chlorine to be sure it's making enough. My question is...

My 1.0 hp single-speed Hayward Super Pump is starting to leak between the pump body and motor. The pump body is over 10 years old and the replacement motor is 6 or 8 years old, so I'm thinking it would be better to junk it and replace with a variable-speed pump versus trying to fix the leak. My...

We replaced our liner this spring and I got the parameters of the pool set up pretty well after a city water fill. Recently, algae has reared its ugly head and I found that I was not running the salt cell enough to keep the chlorine up. I threw in stabilized shock to get the chlorine back up...

I have been through two Intellichlor IC40 units in under six years and am looking to switch to something with a lower cost of ownership. I don't want to plunk down another $600+ for units that have lasted me less than three years each. Many posters seem to like the CircuPool RJ-45, and it seems...

Last June, my Intelichlor IC40 was giving a low temp alert in error. A new aftermarket flow switch solved the problem, but only briefly. I got good help from this forum that determined that the temp sensor on the new switch was no good too. Rather than roll the dice again, I followed your advice...

My IC40 cold water light is on and the cell is off as happens in winter when the water is actually too cold. Pool is 86 degrees right now. There's still some chlorine in the pool so it happened recently. I have the cell set to 100% output with a single speed pump. I'm running 4 hours during the...

Water is slowly leaking around where the selector handle goes down into the valve, filling the grooves. No water is leaking around the edge where the top bolts on. The handle has gotten more difficult to depress when I want to change the flow. The system has been run so that it has not frozen...

My Intellichlor IC40 is not running and none of the lights are on. When you first switch on the power on, all of the lights blink on and then right off and never come back on. It's been raining a lot and I suspect water may have gotten inside. Previously, the top part of the cell has pushed up...
