    Pentair IC60 creates chlorine when first turned on and then flashes "inspect cell"

    I have a Pentair IC60 that generates chlorine when initially turned on, and then a couple minutes later flashes "inspect cell". I've had it for about 3 seasons. It was doing the same thing toward the end of the season last year, but the water was pretty cold and I dismissed the issue due to cold...

    Pentair Intellichlor IC40 is not working - what are my options?

    We have been in the house for 18 months now and this will be our second season with the pool. The IC40 was working just fine up until yesterday. Had 7.0 fc yesterday. Yesterday, the "Cell" light was flashing, which translates to "Inspect Cell". I found some debris on the cell fins on the inlet...

    Can I put an electric heater on my pool? I ask because there might not be enough amps

    I have 50 amps running from the house to the Pentair Easy Touch panel by the pool. I am about to install an Intelliflo 3hp variable speed pump, which would most likely go on a 20 amp breaker at the pool panel. This is the same breaker powering the current 1.5hp single speed Pentair pump. Only...

    Which pump for my pool?

    Bought a 19 year old house with a pool. The pool is most likely as old as the house. I am in the process of understanding everything and upgrading some of it. Going to stick with the Pentair CCP420 Clean & Clear filter, but looking to replace the single speed pump with a variable speed pump. The...

    Which Pentair Clean & Clear Plus filter do I have?

    Hello everybody. Hope everybody is doing well under our current circumstances. I am new to the pool scene and new to the forum too. My wife and I bought a 19 year old house with a pool. This site was recommended to me by at least 5 people on another site completely unrelated to this subject...
