I ordered the 40K from Discount Pools with a 10,000 hr rating. $600 delivered. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks Mdragger88. I just checked out the DSP site and it lists the CircuPool® CIR-GEN9 and CircuPool® CIR-GEN15 as 10,000 hours. My existing cell was a replacement for a 40,000 gallon cell, so my existing one is also rated for 40,000 gallons. Since my pool is 15,000, this seems overkill at...

HI All, I bought a Salt Solutions T-15 cell in July 2020 and it was working fine until about a month ago, which would be 3 years since install. My voltage is 23.9V but instant salt reading is -1900. Tried the procedure for recalibrating and could not get the instant reading to stay above -2000...

I was rebuilding and cleaning my MinimaxNT and it works great, but during the removal of the burner tray, I found much of the insulation attached to the front and back of the tray frame had fallen to pieces. I'd like to replace it with the same or similar. It is quite thin at about 1/4" and the...

Problem solved. Found a broken clip on the air hose. Replaced with a tie wrap. Working fine now.

Never mind. Given the Fenwal air pressure fault, I jumpered the air pressure sensor input once it was fired up, and the heater kept running until i removed the jumper. I went back and checked the air pressure sensor again and it is no longer closing when the blower is running. I'll check the...

Hi all, I had an E04 code on the Minimax with no flame. After the work below, I get a flame, but the heater now cycles, dropping out of the heating status, and eventually shows E04 again along with the Service light and the Fenwal Ignition module blinks once, which is supposedly an air flow...

I checked my parts and found that I had bought 2 chassis for the Racer a few years ago, one for a complete rebuild at the time and a spare just in case. I also had enough spare parts to completely rebuild the Racer and get it working again. Good foresight I guess and $0 extra bucks spent. I'm...

Great info. Thanks all! I haven't considered a robot since I'm already set up with relatively new booster and the unit just runs daily for a couple of hours. I have a lot of leaves and seeds from winds and storms here in Houston so a daily cleaning is almost essential.

Thanks Mike. I'll be staying with a pressure side unit since mine works fine, but interested in alternatives to the Racer. I was reviewing the Polaris 280, which seems to be well liked and reasonably priced but several reviews suggest it doesn't do well on stairs or with small debris on the pool...

I'll also add that I'm not averse to just buying another frame if I can find one. I've already done that once. However, for some reason the new Racer frame I bought was not exactly the same as the original one and I had to modify it to make it fit. If someone knows where to buy a new frame, I'll...

Hi all. I have a Pentair Racer that is likely 10 years older or more. It came with my house and I've pretty much fixed every part of it once or twice, including plastic soldering 2 axles. Either way, the frame is finally destroyed and I'm considering a complete replacement with same or a...

Thanks Ogdento. I was able to find the indoor panel firmware version is 1.023. The outdoor unit must have been updated at some point before 5 years ago as theat's when I bought the house and I installed the VSF 2 years ago. The ScreenLogic is able to control the VSF though it does seem a bit...

Details of testing. I have 3 items connected to 2 serial ports. Comport 1 - Screeenlogic and VSF pump. Both working fine. Being a controls guy, this is not preferable, however, it seems to work as only one device talks at a time. Comport 2 - Indoor control panel Pentair part number 520164...

Thanks for the responses and for the clarification on the firmware update. My indoor board started working (for awhile) immediately after I installed the Screenlogic and ran the firmware loader software that goes with it, then restarted the i7. I was under the impression the loader software was...

Hi all, my indoor Intellitouch panel responds to some button presses but not others. I am getting the error retrieving data message when trying to recall data from the central control board and the control actions (turn on spa, lights, etc) don't do anything other than beep when the buttons are...

New thermister installed and all works. If there was ever a question that the thermister was the problem, here's what happened when I touched it. Thanks for all your help guys!

Thanks James. thermister is on order and display board has been reseated.

Looks like you nailed it C0d. I used the process referenced by the documentation mknauss linked and verified that the digital readout (varied between 6 and 9V) matches the voltage between the bottom thermister terminal and the left terminal of R15, but is a mismatch with the voltage between the...

Thanks mknauss, I was hoping to hear from you on this. C0d, thanks for the suggestion. I was surprised by the bridge rectifier wiring as well and was wondering if this was what caused the problem. The black wire on the upper rectifier was on the wrong connection. It was definitely generating...

Hi all, a couple of months ago I put my SWG back in service with a new T-15 cell after several years. It worked very well until this week. Now the display shows 0 salt. When the pump turns on, the Generating LED turns on solid for a few seconds but the Power LED never comes on, then the...

mguzzy. That seems to account for my salt level drop from 2900 to 2800 on the SWG readout. I'll add some.

Thanks to all. I was hoping to have some updates on the tuning of the SWG but due to a bunch of very heavy rains and winds (tree Crud in pool a lot) over the past week and this week, I've shocked it pretty good. However, SWG sitting at 2800 and continues to run. I've set it to 50% for the time...

mknauss, signature now updated. Thanks. Pool math suggests 350 to 550 CH. I have 400. Can't go much lower and stay within range. How do you stay within range and keep the scaling down? Also, how do you get rid of scaling below the water line (i.e. its on a step about 6 in below the surface.)

My testing with new TA chemicals identified that my old chemicals were reading off (low). I had 120, which is slowing dropping over the weeks and now at 100. All of my other levels are within suggested ranges per pool math. My CSI is slightly positive at 0.08. I noted an earlier comment that a...

Rancho, when you say the 'first change', I completed this test both times and there was no noticable change until the entire sample went to wht I thought was a brick colour (maybe this was brown??), which happened at 3200. The instructions point out the first change is the indicator as well, and...

Hi all. The Salt Solutions T-15 unit finally got delivered after 7 days, though it was sent 2-day priority with USPS. Packaging looks good and the quality of the item is fine. Installed with no leaks and started up with no issues other than it's reading 2800ppm rather than 3200 which I got with...

Thanks for checking Saturn94. I just got off the phone with him and verified. All is good.

Called salt solutions. The only difference is the core charge. I put in an order. ChlorinatorPro site notes they won't have units until the 25th so that's no bueno.
