    Pentair IC 40 Has No Power

    I bumped up the output of my cell to 80% yesterday morning (was set at 60%) and my FC is up to 4.2 this morning. I can access the output of my cell from the Easy Touch controller but still no lights on the cell.

    Pentair IC 40 Has No Power

    Pentair support had no answers except replace the cell...funny thing though is that my FC was up to 3.4 this morning when I checked it so it looks like the cell might be working without lights on. :hammer:

    Pentair IC 40 Has No Power

    I'll call Pentair tomorrow and see if technical support has any ideas and thanks for the suggestions. I haven't verfied that the transformer in the Easy Touch panel is actually working but I will research that and try and find out how to check it. My IC40 (and all pool equiptment) is in a...

    Pentair IC 40 Has No Power

    There are no lights at all lit on the IC40 cell. I pulled the cell off and inspected it and the cell had a really large amount of scale build up so I acid washed it twice and installed again and still no lights on the IC40 cell.

    Pentair IC 40 Has No Power

    I picked up some test strips for salt and the water tested at 2,100 ppm so I added 3 bags (150lbs) of salt to see if this is a fix. Evidentially the SWG just recently shut down 'cause below are my test numbers from this morning. FC-3.2 PH-7.7 TA-80 CYA-60 CH-210 Hopefully the additional salt...

    Pentair IC 40 Has No Power

    In the troubleshooting guide under "Cell light does not come on" it says one of the "Possible Causes" is Salt level below 2500ppm...I guess it is possible that I let the salt get lower than 2500 but would this shut off power to the cell completely? I don't have any test strips for salt as I just...

    Pentair IC 40 Has No Power

    The cable from the IC 40 connects to the bottom of the Easy Touch panel and I have checked this connection several times and it appears to be making good contact with no corrosion...do I need to follow the wires inside the Easy Touch panel from the connection?

    I have a Pentair IC 40 with Easy Touch controller and this is my 4th year with my pool and have had absolutely zero problems until today. I went down to backflush and saw that no lights on my cell were on...I went ahead and backflushed and still no lights. I turned the breakers off and checked...

    Indoor Pool Chemistry Problems

    It appears that the consenus is to not use trichlor in an indoor pool. I read and re-read pool school and water chemistry and was having a really hard time grasping everything until I was able to recently start running a full test with the K-2006...it makes alot more sense now but I still have a...

    Indoor Pool Chemistry Problems

    I drained about 75% of the water on Saturday and then refilled and let the water circulate for over 24 hours and just tested a few minutes ago. I have gotten used to the Taylor K-2006 testing kit a little more and am pretty confident that the results are fairly accurate. I have also checked my...

    Indoor Pool Chemistry Problems

    Thanks Jason, The triclor is from the original supply the pool builder left when the pool was built..I read on here not to use triclor and asked them about it and they just laughed. My previous test kit didn't test for CYA or CH so I never really had those numbers until today. There is a...

    Concrete pool up north

    This is a very cool pool build to follow. It appears that your wall forming material is some kind of plywood and I see that you have bracing but I don't see any wall ties.
