    For Sale: Pentair Warrior SE

    Pentair Warrior SE purchased July 2020 -- it has less than 40 hours of use inside pool. Still looks like new -- but -- it only runs for 2 or 3 minutes and then stops. I know a new motor can be purchased for under 500 and I already looked at the wheels (perfect) and the odd thing is, if I turn...

    Pentair IC40 Cell if anyone in need

    We replace all our 3 year old IC40s, unconditionally at 3 years. They still work fine but once warranty period is over we swap in new equipment, same as with all our switches, routers, laptops etc. Swapped out all our pools and I typically keep one or two spares if I need to do maintenance or...

    Upgraded and Swapped all our IC40 to IC60

    We have a few family pools that all run on pentair equipment and while we typically run our pumps for 6 to 7 years, we replace unconditionally the IC40 SWCG cells every 3 years or when warranty runs out. Same for the pentair cartridge filters, outer case and media. This saves us time and...

    How much of an salt increase with 1 or 2 TriChlor pucks ?

    Measured Salt level today 3150 and want to raise to about 3700-3900 (pools stats in sig) Since I also need to increase Cyanuric Acid by about 10-20, would 2 TriChlor hockey pucks be sufficient to raise Salt to that level ? How much would a 2.5 gallon(12%) liquid bleach container(from Leslie's)...

    Intelliflow VF shuts off randomly

    At random times, my Intelliflow VF shuts off for a couple minutes, then resumes automatic program. This occurs totally at random and does not happen when observed for several hours (longest time I've been working on wall project near pump for 4 hours, it did not happen). Today, for example...

    Low alkalinity maintenance, could borates be used ?

    on my weekly testing schedule, TA is 60 and I like to keep it at 80 (although for SWCG it is still inside normal range, at bottom). could I use borate instead of baking soda? I need to add a total of 2 boxes (wallyworld 20 mule team..) to reach about 40 ppm and had planned on adding it slowly...

    Spare wheels for a Poolvergnuegen The Pool Cleaner

    getting a couple spare Poolvergnuegen The Pool Cleaner 2-wheel units for family and friends, all are for plaster inground pools. does it make sense to get a set of spare wheels (wheel cover material) at same time or do they wear out very slowly (several years as opposed to 1-2 years) ?

    IntelliFlow VF stops with "Running Power Save"

    learned something new today. VF is running a 15 GPM program from 06:00 to 11:59 (cycle 1) and another at 18:00 to 23:59 (cycle 2). Feature 3 is enabled from 06:01 to 11:59 which simply overrides the default 15 GPM to 20 GPM. This is needed in order to cause the voltage control relay to turn on...

    Setting IntelliFlow VF to run at specific Flow Rate and RPM

    I have two(2) primary daily FILTER cycles defined in the programming. First one runs from 0600 to 1159 and the next one from 1800 to 2359 Since the FILTER menu uses the POOL DATA parameters, the pump runs automatically in the slowest possible speed to achieve the turnover based on the gallons...
