    New (ish) IC40 reporting 0 salt level, Flow Green, Red Low Salt

    I ended up registering it online. Then called back and went straight to the warranty claim department. The guy was very helpful - did a bit of remote troubleshooting and then decided it sounded like the flow sensor (which we assumed from the beginning). He didn't have any issue opening a work...

    New (ish) IC40 reporting 0 salt level, Flow Green, Red Low Salt

    Wonder how I could get them to admit this? The lady I spoke to was very certain that the Intellichlor had a 60 day warranty since I didn't buy it from brick & mortar store.... Call back and hope for someone else? LOL

    New (ish) IC40 reporting 0 salt level, Flow Green, Red Low Salt

    Well, I can settle this debate -- I called Pentair and since I didn't buy from a brick and mortar store, the warranty is 60 days. :( Hopefully replacing the flow sensor is the issue.

    New (ish) IC40 reporting 0 salt level, Flow Green, Red Low Salt

    Let's go with the assumption that it is NOT covered under warranty (I sent them an email, so hopefully they will get back to me -- if they say its covered under warranty, then great!). Is the flow sensor the likely culprit? I don't mind tossing 50 bucks at it to see if this is the issue...

    New (ish) IC40 reporting 0 salt level, Flow Green, Red Low Salt

    I'm noticing that. If I have to buy another one I'll get it through a pool company and just pay the premium so I can get warranty support. This is a new unit. The cable between the cell & switch is one wire (attached photo). I will bring the salt level up and see if that helps. When the...

    New (ish) IC40 reporting 0 salt level, Flow Green, Red Low Salt

    Replacement. I had an IC20 before which suffered from the same ailment after a season. I installed the IC40 and it worked great last season out of the box. I winterized it (removed it and put it inside), and when I just hooked it up after the winter is when I noticed the issue. Thanks for...

    New (ish) IC40 reporting 0 salt level, Flow Green, Red Low Salt

    Hi all, I've got a IC40 that I bought last April that is reporting a 0 salt level. It is set up properly (enabled IntelliChlor in the settings), and the lights are: FLOW: GREEN SALT LEVEL: RED In the app, it is reading 0 salt. I can adjust the levels in the app and they register on the IC40...

    Pentair Valve Actuator Fix: New Switches

    Follow up on this thread - I had a Pentair actuator that I only had installed for a year go out completely a week ago. Neither position of the switch on the outside moved it. I pulled it off and manually closed the valve, and happened upon this thread. Glad I did! I ordered the internal...

    AUX port relay connector for Pentair Easytouch

    Trying to dig through old threads to find the one that someone found the 2-prong connector that ties into the aux-port relays on the Easytouch panel. Anyone happen to have that link handy? I need to hook something up to one of my aux ports (don't need the relay), and would rather spend 50...

    Pentair Posiclear Filter question

    I have a Pentair Posiclear 150 part number 160352 filter. I'm looking for replacement cartridges and everything seems to redirect to the Pentair Clean & Clear 150 cartridges. The filters themselves look more or less identical. Are the filters compatible?

    Pentair IntelliFlo VS losing efficiency when running for a while?

    You know, you were absolutely right. I had cleaned the filter a couple weeks ago and figured it was fine at this point. But due to some imbalances (my fault), I had some algae growth and shocked and cleared it up last week. I just checked it, cleaned it, and now the pump and pressure is...

    Pentair IntelliFlo VS losing efficiency when running for a while?

    New(ish) to pool ownership (first full season). Have a quick question regarding my Pentair IntelliFlo VS 3HP pump. I have some water features (4 magicstream laminars, 4 seat spa jets, and 3 bubblers). The pump is powerful enough to power two of them reasonably well at high speed. However...

    Doheny's Discovery, S200, Active20, Triton owners club

    Just called Marina Pools above, the sales rep said the 300i is 899$ through them and it comes with the caddy. Currently out of stock but getting some in next week (I bought one). He said since they are brick & mortar no problems registering the warranty and if there are any issues you can...

    Help fix my wonky PB setup

    Yep should have clarified. It's just a seat in the deep end that has spa jets in it. No actual spa in this pool. Just was seeing if anyone could see any flaws in my plan. Thanks for the response!

    Help fix my wonky PB setup

Here's my setup: 16k SW pool 1 skimmer 3 returns UltraTemp Heating/Cooling Heat Pump Water features: 3 tanning deck bubblers 4 spa jets in deep end seat...

    Possible to wire 3 actuators with 2 valve outputs?

    Well, I'm going to have to replace this EasyTouch 4 (single body) with at least an EasyTouch 8 motherboard since I need the extra AUX ports: Current setup: VALVE A: Water Features/Returns VALVE B: Tanning Ledge Bubblers AUX1: Pool lights (Intellibrite) AUX2: Magicstream Laminars Lights AUX3...

    Possible to wire 3 actuators with 2 valve outputs?

    So I could theoretically buy part # 520287, swap it out from my ET4, and hook everything back up and be good to go? (obviously not having the LCD display but whatever, I have screenlogic)?

    Possible to wire 3 actuators with 2 valve outputs?

    Maybe I don't understand the EasyTouch programming enough for that? Assume that Bubblers are Feat 1 and Deck Jets Feat 2, and the water features actuator is on Aux3, how do I program ET so that when I turn on Feat1 it also turns on Aux3? (same with Feat2), and also have it so if both Feat1 &...

    Anyone know how you would accomplish this? I have a 180 degree actuator (Valve A) that controls water going through the return or directed to water features. I have 2 water features, one of them tanning deck bubblers (Valve B) and one of them Pool deck jets (hooked up to an AUX relay using a...

    HOWTO: Add more than 2 valves to EasyTouch 4/8 Panel

    No problem. Thought it may help. What I'm wondering now though is how I could maybe wire my system to eliminate the need for one of the manual controls on these actuators. Basically, I have a 180 degree actuator (Valve A) that controls water going through the return or directed to water...

    Opinions on Pentair SuperFlo Variable Speed Pump...

    SWG means salt water generator. He means that if you don't have something like an EasyTouch/Intellitouch automation system, the SuperFlo VS is a good pump. If you have an automation system you may want to look at the IntelliFlo VS since it integrates much nicer into a EasyTouch/IntelliTouch...

    HOWTO: Add more than 2 valves to EasyTouch 4/8 Panel

    Hi all. I have an Easy Touch 4 panel (single body) and needed control over 3 valves (one for diverting water from returns to water features, one for tanning deck bubblers, and one for deck jets). The Easy Touch 4 Single Body panel can only control 2 valves (A & B). I ended up finding some...
