    Sensor for Intellichlor IC-40

    The only thing I could find in the unit was what I assume is the magnet. Nothing else was rattling around. I removed that, but I guess the damage could already be done. Would the SWG not produce chlorine if this flow switch/ thermistor assembly was not functioning? It seems pretty easy to...

    Sensor for Intellichlor IC-40

    Also the the salt level lights keep flashing green(good) then red(low). Besides acid clean I have never messed with the SWG. Is it possible to just change out the sensor? If so is that straight forward? Thanks again!

    Sensor for Intellichlor IC-40

    My FC readings have been reading zero for the past couple of weeks and I’m burning through my menards pool shock to keep up. I figured the IC-40 could use a good acid clean. When I took it off, it appears that my sensor has corroded away. I assume this means it’s time for a new SWG, but just...

    Pentair Ultratemp Heat Pump not heating water

    Note that a heat pump does not provide a fast heat up. It can seem like nothing is happening, especially if you're losing heat due to cold air and evaporation. Is the pool covered? NO Cover. How long did you wait to see a temperature increase? I've been checking it since we opened on May 3rd...

    Needing Some Speakers This Season?

    I bought a pair of Niles RS6Si Rock speakers when we built our pool a few years ago and I also have a Sonos Play 1 under the deck. Have all connected through my Sonos connect App. Have been very happy with the results and sound. Can't wait to open our pool next week!
