    Help Needed, Bought Used SWG (IC40)

    If anyone is running that external power supply (which I doubt, since in the other thread a software update seemed to fix the cycling problem) and if you feel adventurous and curious, please run the 36vDC red and black to the SWCG directly without hooking up the RS485 wires to anything, and see...

    Help Needed, Bought Used SWG (IC40)

    Thanks for the responses! I probably won't be ready to dive into actually working on this for a few weeks, but as I said, gathering information at this point. I'll definitely try with just the power supply from Amazon, who knows, maybe it will just work! Really appreciate the help!

    Help Needed, Bought Used SWG (IC40)

    Thanks xyz, I saw the link from the other thread to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005CLCJA6/ guessing that's the one. I'm curious as to what the ICxx is looking for, as for a 'stand alone' being the ICxx and the Power Center, there are no additional inputs, just the two units. So, I wonder...

    Pentair IC60 and Easytouch8-SWG cycling on/off

    Hey guys, since some of you have been deep into the power supplies during the discussions on this thread, would anyone be so kind as to chime in on my newly posted question? Help Needed, Bought Used SWG (IC40)) If I use a relay tied to a pump to only turn it on when the pump is running, could...

    Help Needed, Bought Used SWG (IC40)

    Anyone have a picture of the Power Center opened up? Looks like all the brains are on the IC40 itself, I bet the Power Center is 95% transformer...

    Help Needed, Bought Used SWG (IC40)

    I just picked up a used IC40 for $25. The rub is that the water flow switch is busted. That part I should be able to figure out and replace. However, this is all I have, so I need a way to tell it to turn on, power it, ect. What are my options? At this point, I'd like to look for the lowest...

    Pool Guy, You're So Fired!

    Okay, I wanted to follow up, the backwash idea didn't pan out - the Quik Skim has an inlet about a foot below the waterline. I'm guessing it's for safety, helping keep people from getting trapped on the main drain. While I probably could have plugged it, the flow out of the pump was pretty...

    Pool Guy, You're So Fired!

    The pad. Equipment overview: From left to right, there are three pumps. 1 is the skimmer, 2 is the spa jets, 3 is the pop-up system. Pump 1 was replaced not too long ago and is variable speed and programmable. I haven't read the manual on it yet, but it is a 2EZ from US Motors (1.5 hp, not sure...

    Pool Guy, You're So Fired!

    Thanks all for the replies! (JohnT, if it ever crashes like that again, I'll look for the button in the lower left) Yippee, I can see the difference between pink and clear, but does it really go clear or stay murky white? Maybe my level is a bit higher then, since it definitely wasn't...

    Pool Guy, You're So Fired!

    That's disappointing, just spent a half hour making a post. Poof gone! What's the point of the little yellow Auto-Saved thing that pops up? It saved my Title, that's all. Lovely. Anyway, long story short, and without as much detail in the writing, my levels are: pH 8.0 (or more, maxed out...

    Required Intro Thread

    Hi all, I'm a new pool owner, though the pool is far from new. I'm poking around your fine website and forum and learning a ton of info! Just bought a K-2006 test kit and will try to go about testing my water today or tomorrow. The previous owners of the property paid for a splash and dash...
