Hi Bad news for me as I opened my pool - appears water accumulated in the heat pump over the winter and the PVC outflow manifold cracked. Looks like it is just a bunch of standard 2" pvc parts, but it ties into the heat exchanger. anyone know where I can find a service manual for this? I...

Hi - I have a 30,000 gal pool and need to replace my pentair SWG. The pool was built in 2014, so I got about 5 years out of my IC40. As I think about replacement, any thoughts on sizing? Will i get better value by moving up to an IC60, or is it a waste of money? I didnt really have any...

Hi I currently have an IC40 driven by an Easy Touch panel. I need to replace the SWG and was hoping someone here had found a good price on a replacement cell. Thoughts?

So this is my first year with a pool - we built it last summer and only had it open about 2 months last summer so this was my first full summer. I found TFP while we were building and I spent quite a bit of time reading up on chemistry management and thought I had a good handle on what to do...

I have been browsing posts here and I see many folks posting very low pump speeds with SWG systems. I have a pentair intelliflow and a pentair IC40 on a 31000 gal pool. When I drop pump speed lower than about 1700-1800 rpm, i get low flow errors from the SWG. Is that to be expected? I see...

Have not done this before, but was curious on adding chlorine and speed of dispersion. When adding chlorine bleach, should I pour straight into the skimmer so that it is pumped out through the returns, or is the concentrated level harmful to the equipment? When I add acid for pH balance, I...

I just opened the pool and am not sure if I should SLAM. It has been open for a few weeks now, and water is very clear, but there a small spots here and there where green algae is starting to grow on the bottom. I have been brushing it and vacuuming and it seems to move around a little. I...

I am thinking I'd like to get things going soon - get the chemistry balanced and make sure it is all ready to go by the time the weather warms up, but we have lots of trees and lots of pollen. Its usually May by the time the pollen subsides and Im sure the water temp will be in the 60s or 70s...

This is the first time closing as my pool was just built this year. Closing was included in the price, so of course I let the PB close and I watched. What I noticed is that they did nothing with the pool lights and the water level is still above the level of the lights. The way these pentair...

Does anyone here remove slide or dive board when closing the pool? Is is OK for these to remain outdoors in wet freezing weather?

I have an Aquacomfort H/C heat pump and a Pentair Easy Touch 4 control panel. My PB tells me that I can not use the controller to control the heat and cool functions for the heat pump. They contend that Pentair controller will only work with the Pentair H/C heat pump. Anyone have any...

I am new to this and just had my pool completed a few weeks back. I have a 30K gal IG with a sand filter, Intelliclor SWG and an Intelliflow variable speed pump. I really have no idea how long I should be running it and how I should be setting the SWG. The PB left it running at about 2400 rpm...

Just had a pool built and the PB installed an Easy Touch comtrol panel. The docs describe a "color swim" feature that sounds like it switches colors on the pool lights creating a chaser effect. I can make this work on mine - I have 4 pentair globrites. I am guessing that in order to enable...
