    Pentair Globrite replacement

    Yeah we didn’t get a tool. We installed the pool 4 years ago but we were never given anything other than our manual.

    We don't have to drain the pool then?

    Pentair Globrite replacement

    Do you have a link to the one from Florida Sunseeker that would fit the receptacle? He is going to look at the other transformer tomorrow. He said one goes to the IC40 SWG. He didn't know what the other was for. I am assuming it IS for the light. So...we will need a whole new system and he...

    He said there are 2 transformers by the pump, not by the light. Would one of those be what we are looking for?

    There is no junction box. It goes directly to the breaker box.

    Pentair Globrite replacement

    Our light has dimmed significantly. My husband swam down to the light and noticed that it looks like there are 3 "lights" in it and only 1 is working. We read that you can just unscrew the "casing" around the light and pull the wire with it up to the pool deck to replace the bulb. (Please excuse...

    Pentair IC40 question

    He said 4 wires on each and he wired them up the same. He is a handyman so I doubt he hooked it up wrong but it is possible the new flow switch is bad.

    Pentair IC40 question

    Yeah something is definitely wonky with this thing. We are new to taking care of our own pool so this has thrown us for a little loop. All should be good, guess we need to just bite the bullet and order a new IC40 too. It has run 4 years all year long so I guess it gave us a good life. Ha.

    Pentair IC40 question

    The red light stayed on after raising my flow rate. I think you had sent me a link on how to test the flow switch/temp control a few weeks ago when I had a question and it showed it was not working. Yet, we haven't added any chlorine and there is still chlorine in the pool. The pool looks...

    Pentair IC40 question

    I questioned this once before. Our IC40 is 4 years old and we run it year round in S Florida. It was showing low salt a couple of weeks ago so I took a sample to the pool store and the salt level was fine. We tested the flow switch and decided to change it out and now with the new switch, the...

    That is where my husband will come in. I will show him this information when he gets home from work. Thanks for your help and information!

    Pentair IC40 question

    We did clean the cell less than a month ago when we took over our pool care. It looked great inside. And yes, I need to order a salt test kit. Thank you!

    Pentair IC40 question

    I am so sorry, hope I am not being so dense...but I don't have anything that looks like that. We have salt cell that is plugged into the power center but nothing else.

    Under Salt Level, it is a solid red light at the LOW setting.

    Pentair IC40 question

    Salt level is 3900 and chlorine was 3.0 so the IC40 is still generating chlorine because I haven't added any. We had issue with the flow switch a few weeks ago, it was going red to green and back and forth. We almost changed it then but then it went green and stayed that way. (It still is...

    Yes the salt level light is a solid red on low status. I will take a sample tomorrow morning.

    Pentair IC40 question

    We just took over our pool care last month. I bought a Taylor test kit but didn't get the one that tests salt. Novice mistake! Anyway, I noticed last night before the pump went off that the display panel showed SALT LEVEL LOW. The cell light is OFF. The flow light and sanitizer outputs are...

    Novice pool chemistry tester here!

    I tested the CYA and calcium yesterday. CYA 40, ch 500....and my free chlorine has jumped up to 5.6 and combined chlorine is 0.4 I don't understand why as I am in SW Florida and it has been sunny and 80 all week. pH 7.8 and TA 80. I had my sanitizer output on the 2nd mark so I turned it down...

    Novice pool chemistry tester here!

    I fired our pool guy last week, mainly because we are trying to save money and decided we aren't stupid and SHOULD be able to do this ourselves. Well, week 1 and I do feel stupid. Ha. I had bought some cheap test strips at Lowe's and it said my chlorine is OK, pH and alkalinity are LOW. With...

    Pool is 14x30. You think the larger system would be a better option?

    New pool estimate

    We have a privacy fence already but will just have to move our latches up to 54". We did get a new estimate with footers and no cage. We might want to have one later. I have debated about the heater but since it is warm enough year round to swim here, I don't want to have to get in cold...

    New pool estimate

    We have actually talked ourselves out of the cage so that is out. I have thought about bubblers in the sunshelf since we aren't doing a waterfall or anything like that. I should ask to see what it would cost. We are on a pretty tight budget. As far as alarms, I thought that was expensive...
