Like so many expensive choices, I put off going to salt for the first 10 years of my pool. I've now had salt for 10 years and you couldn't pay me to go back and not have salt. Sanitizer remains constant, no worries about waking up one day to a cloudy pool because it ran out. I bought the largest...

Yes, both have serial connections

The pump is an Intelliflo so it's always getting power. When I moved to the Intelliflow from a single-speed pump I didn't think to change the Intellichlor wiring. Time to get out the manuals and schematics and get to work. Which also explains the chlorinator low flow errors coming from the...

Just to say that TFP is a godsend to pool owners. Once my chlorine levels stabilized after installing the SWG my pool is practically maintenance free. I'm not sure why the chlorine levels didn't come up immediately, but after a few months they locked in at 4-5 PPM and haven't drifted since. I...

My Intellichlor IC60 salt levels started bouncing around about 2 weeks ago, from 4300 to 0 to 3900 to 0 to 600 and now back to 4300 (yup it's a bit high, but the rain from Dorian should resolve that). I've confirmed salt levels ~4000 with test strips. chem test and a salt meter. The cell is...

Well, not ALL. With my Intellitouch automation, when the pump is off the flow light is red on the Intellichlor.

do all the the lights go out? That's a power or power supply issue - or maybe the connector between the PS an the Intellichlor. If only some lights go out, please describe more accurately.

The flow switches do fail - the flow switch is also the temperature gauge. You can find replacements online, part number 520736. The OEM is only made for Pentair with the combo temp and flow sensors, so don't buy a similar one for Hayward or any other unit. There are some 3rd-party replacement...

Do it. Don't hesitate. Convert to salt today. IMHO. My pool was fresh water for 14 years with canister-based chlorine injection, which I replaced with a feeder that used pucks. The canister would always run out when I wasn't looking, and then the pool would algae up. Yuck. The puck feeder was...

>>use a sump pump to drain water from the deep end and simultaneously add water the shallow end with a hose I can't understand how this would save water. Maybe over several cycles of partial drain and refill, but not over a single partial drain/refill that gets the water chemistry where it...

I've been using TFP for a few years now and have finally registered. What a fantastic website! My pool is a black plaster IG 35K gallons I designed and had built back in 2000. It's shaped like a 65-foot long lawn-mower blade with the deep end in the middle and a seating ledge around the middle...
