My spa was draining back into my pool so I replaced the flappers and during my post repair check I found the check valve housing leaking from a tiny split around the screws. Is there any old school pool guy trick to remove and replace the housing without having to totally reconstruct the...

Is there any way to verify the control board is failing and not something wrong the IC40 before dropping $155 on a new board? I hate buying parts pricey stuff I don't need but if that is what I have to do then I'll do it. Thanks again for all your input

While testing the % I realized that in addition to the 20% light not working the 80 & 100 lights are not lighting up either during the self test. From what I can tell, it does appear that the Screenlogic is changing the output percentage. I get the 40 light at 40 and the 60 light at 60. When I...

I completed the self test / temp test. The cold water light remains red at the completion of the self test and it shows no percentage lights for life. The temperature test lights up the 40% 60% which the chart says indicates 46 to 55F while the actual water temp is 88. On power up the red low...

Yep, the IC40 is connected to the Easytouch. Screenlogic shows salt level 0 though it is actually 3200

My intellichlor ic40 has been acting up this season. Some days I get a cell light other days I don't and it seems like the chlorine production matches the on/off days. I also get no salt lights on the ic40 even though the salt level is correct. Additionally on the output lights I get the 40% and...

I figured out the problem so am sharing in case someone else is having similar issues and finds this while researching solutions. My builder placed a crossover pipe with a valve (I call it the mixing valve) between the inlet and outlet lines of the heater. It allows you to introduce some of the...

I have a Max-E-Term 400k BTU heater that once it reaches the high 80’s it begins to shut off the burner, throws a check heater light for about a minute then the heater re-lights for a minute or so and the process repeats again and again. I looked under the panel and it is throwing an HLS light...

Symptoms: Upon fire-up the heater will sometimes but not every time have a rattling noise initially. It will then heat as normal up until the mid 80 degrees and then heating stops, I get a service heater light for about a minute then it goes out, heating light begins to flash then goes solid...

Looks like I need to update my signature line with my new equipment. I upgraded to the Intellipro pump and I have Screenlogic2 wireless interface. I'm using my phone app to turn off the hot tub. I understand turning off the spa cycles the valves back to pool but unless I am mistaken the CP3400...

This summer I upgraded from Compool to Easytouch automation. Previously with my Compool when I wanted to shut off the pump and sit in a quiet still pool of hot water I'd turn off the hot tub and it would run in hot tub mode for a few minutes with the heater off to cool the heater then shut off...

Thank you kadavis

I'm looking to switch my old Max-E-Pro 2HP to the Intellipro VS. The best I can tell from the diagrams online the intake and output ports are at the same heights and distances apart on both units. It appears plumbing wise it should be a direct drop in from the Max-E-Pro. Has anyone made this...

Thank you all for your replies. From what I gather I may as well stick with my Compool CP3400 unless there are specific functions I want from the Easytouch since I'll be buying the Power Center for the IC40 anyway. I can always upgrade later when/if I go with an Inteliflow pump. My only other...

I'm loving the TFP method but tired of lugging jugs of chlorine. I want to add an Intellicholr IC40 to my 11 year old Compool CP3400 automation. The Intellicholr IC40 requires me to buy an Intellicholr Power Center for $338 but for a few hundred more I can buy the Compool to Easytouch upgrade...

My Sta Rite Max-E-Therm 400 heater is short cycling while heating. I noticed it had shut off and the blower was still running so I went to look for the service heater light which was not illuminated. What I did notice was the heaters temperature reading was fluctuating from 93 to 110 while the...

Thanks for the replies Jaimslaw. I was referring to the in floor cleaner pop up heads. That is where all the streaks come from then they run down towards the drains in the deep end. The mottling is uniform across the entire pool. Just added the photos and secondary question in case it was...

Sorry, should have been more clear. The first picture is of staining I discovered after the acid but cannot say 100% it wasn't there before the acid but I'm pretty sure it wasn't. The water was still a little cloudy from plaster dust at the time

I had my pool replastered in April with plain white quartz. I noticed some staining coming from my pop up heads and running down towards the deep end around the same time I did a boneheaded move. I poured about 35oz of what I thought was chlorine into the skimmer basket with the pump running...

Thanks for the advise. I think I may wait a few months just to make sure I've got the basics down and let the plaster cure a bit longer

I've been running liquid chlorine since start up, I used stand alone stabilizer to get up to 45ppm and I am pouring acid in like crazy while it cures. I switched from dip strips to a K-2006 a few months before the re-plaster. I got a little nerdy and started a spreadsheet to track the water and...

New to TFP and this is my first post. After years of chasing algae blooms and dumping tons of pucks and bags of shock in the pool I'm taking control back to keep my new plaster new. Now on with my question. My pool was just re-plastered 2 weeks ago and the start up/curing instructions state...
