    Low Instantaneous salt level. Can't calibrate. Is it time to replace the T-15?

    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...

    Replacement insulation for burners. What type is recommended?

    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...

    Minimax NT TSI Error E04. What's left to troubleshoot?

    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...

    Need new cleaner. Replace Pentair Racer with same or alternative?

    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...

    Intellitouch indoor control panel not responding control actions

    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...

    Aqua Rite showing zero salt. Generating LED on for several seconds then off. No Power LED

    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...

    Sanitizing pains. Tried SWG, Liquidator, chlorine tablets and bleach. Tired of fighting. Need help. Thinking Ozonator

    HELP! Hi all, I have a plaster pool that I am tired of fighting to maintain the FC levels. This is Houston so we get 90s'/100's pretty regularly for months and my pool/hottub w/ spillover is in direct sunlight for most of the year. I use the pool calc and keep the chemicals good at FC 3-4, Ph...

    Intellitouch not recognizing intelliflo

    Hi all, I have an Intellitouch system running firmware 1.16. I recently installed an Intelliflo VSF and the installer (a Pentair certified) connected it to J7 on the Intellitouch panel. When we brought up the equipment screen, there was nothing on the left hand side, while the right hand side...

    Help in selection of replacement for 619488 Pentair Aqualight for 6" niche

    I have a 17,000 gallon kidney in-ground pool plus spa, with 4 lights, all of which are 58W Pentair Aqualight 619488 units in 6" niches. My old lights were an odd type of 120V unit that took three 12V bulbs and there was no saving the fixtures as they have begun to leak from the cable entry. As...

    Can't get rid of fine sediment after using hth DE Filter Aid

    I have been recovering my pool from Harvey. During the process, I had to do several backwashes and eventually decided it was better to clean and recharge the filter. I have previously used the DE from Leslie's without any issue. However, since I was at Home Depot I decided to try hth DE Filter...

    How long to clear pool after Harvey?

    My pool (see pic taken 3 days ago) was under a ft of water from the local creek, which was undoubtedly mixed with the wonders of the North Houston storm and sewage overflows. Starting on Wednesday I removed the twigs and branches and other lumps of organics. After 3 days of running the filter...

    Controlling PH upwards creep with balanced chemicals

    Seems to be a common topic but thought I'd ask for a bit of quick advice on keeping PH stable as it typically rises about .3 per day. As a result, I'm adding Muratic every two days to bring it back down from 7.8 to 7.2. The pool water is beautifully clear now. I recently battled a bad case of...

    Brownish stain covering most of pool walls and floor

    Hi all, this is my first post, though I've learned a heck of a lot from this site thus far. I've gotten to know my pool over the last 9 months and have the TF100 to keep chemicals in balance. After returning from 2 weeks away, the chlorine in my pool had reached 0 (my liquidator ran out of...
