    IC40 salt reading 9,900

    4 years old. Shows 60% life used. Reading 9,900 PPM. (when it's really 3,000). I read the flow switch is where the salt reading comes from and I might be able to just replace that? Am I reading this correctly?

    Pentair intellicenter issue

    So today - my spa was 1/2 filled. Seems like when it kicked to the 30 min spa mode - the return stayed on pool.... The return is an intellivalve. I turned system power off - and on. Tried to turn on bubblers - intellivavle rotated to SPA return... Tried to turn on spillway - intellivavle...

    Polaris Quattro Spot p40 - Right side not spinning

    Noticed my Polaris not cleaning the pool well. All wheels spin - but if I put ANY resistance on the front right brush - the wheels stop. If I do that on the left - they keep spinning - although click and don't like it. So obviously something is not right about it... Found a breakdown video...

    Pentair intellicenter - local login

    I see their site is down - my app has not been able to connect since last Wednesday - I thought even if their system was down you could still locally login/control the system? I have to say - if I did this pool again today - I would not use Pentair....

    Cold water and below min salt (but it is not)

    So I guess I never had the 'alerts' turned to on in my intellicenter. I did that last week. Now every day when the system kicks on I get an email - below salt level (its not - I have 3,300). and Cold water shut off (the water is 84). I'm assuming this happens because the sale system is...

    Anyone need a Polaris Quattro or PB4-60 Booster Pump?

    Hope a post like this is allowed - I ordered a wholesale Polaris Quattro and booster - but they were back ordered... So I ended up just buying them retail (and cancelling the wholesale order - or so I thought). So now I have a new Polaris Quattro floor cleaner and booster pump... If...

    Polaris quattro speed and relief valve fitting

    Running my filter at 2,000 rpms. The polaris is running right about 27-28 rpms - so the bottom of the 28-32 range. I do not have any restrictor plate (blue or red) currently installed - just free flow water through a 2" pipe There is a lot of water being expelled through the relief valve -...

    Flow rates lower than I thought

    New pool - was going off the spec chart for the plans that shows 54gpm at 1,500 RPM for the Pentair Intelliflow VS. Noticed my Jandy JXI heater says 'check flow' when I activate the bypass valve and send water through the heater. I have to increase the speed to about 2,000 rpm to get the...

    Jandy JXI - Pentair Intellicenter - Intermatic Valve - Wiring

    Got my 400k Jandy heater hooked up today. Everything runs as expected minus one possible issue? I installed a 3 way valve - and an Intermatic actuator. On the Intellicenter it's Valve B and I used circuit "Heater" as the option. Everything works just fine - I turn on the Heat mode - the...

    Jandy JXI wiring question & booster pump wiring

    I am installing a propane JXI. I am trying to figure out how to wire the low voltage part to the Pentair Intellicenter. I am reading the Pentair manual about that - it says remove the heaters fireman jumper - which is that on the Jandy? I'd like to just run a 2 wire from the Jandy to the...

    Adding check valve(s) - question on location

    A picture of my current plumbing setup is below. For starters - this is a new pool and I WILL be adding a check valve in location #3 near the salt system when I turn the salt feature on. When the system is shut off - the intake valve position is 100% pool. The return valve position is 90%...

    Pool heater - Raypak vs Jandy

    I am going to add a 400k btu propane heater. It's between the Raypak and a Jandy Jxi. I searched the forms and from what I can tell the Raypak is the preferred heater? I see the Jandy as a smaller footprint - but more parts to possibly break down the line? They're very close in price. If...

    Hartford loop - or no hartford loop

    So my new pool build is almost complete (here is a pic of the spa just because). My equipment is roughly 50 feet from the spa - the plumbing for the air blower line is probably 70 feet. I bought a 2hp blower - my deck goes down this week - I'd rather NOT install a hartford loop if I don't...

    New plumbing question (when to reduce)

    I am going to start setting my equipment today. The 3" lines are drain/return for pool/spa. I was going to 3" 90 up (and reduce the pipe to 2" below the dirt) which is probably about 4 feet from the top of the pad. Figured this way all my pipes coming from the ground are 1.5" and 2" - gives...

    Auto fill for new pool consturction

    I have searched and can't figure this one out... New pool build - I would like to have an autofill for the pool. From what I have found - I have a 1.5inch equalizer line from the pool that connects to the 'bucket' of the autofill? and then the bucket has the float and connection for the house...

    Pentair Globrite LED light wiring question

    Building a new pool (owner/builder). I did this today - friend said he thinks I'll need a normal junction box for inspection and this won't fly? I figured those normal junction boxes were for 110v - and not the low voltage lights.... Maybe I'm wrong. My idea was to leave a few extra feet of...

    New pool build - request comments on part list

    Variable speed pump and pool timer

    First post... I installed a Hayward Salt System today. The intermatic pool timer was beat and part of it snapped while I was pulling the wires. It's a 220 volt. I have been thinking of getting a variable speed pump. My little 1hp for my 13,000 gallon pool has a hard time moving the vacuum...
