I did put the drive back on the pump and rechecked to make sure everything was tightened up properly. I will try that as soon as i get home and let you know. There was a tiny bit of water below that plug, but wasn't sure if it was from not tightening it after putting it back in when setting up...

Jim, Thank you for the response, I was able to get the heater and the pump running. All I did was remove the drive and they kicked on, maybe a loose wire, IDK. However, once the pump kicked on, it is really loud compared to how it usually is. It is a Pentair Intelliflo 2 VST variable speed...

I was opening my pool and got this alarm right when I turned on the breaker. also, I have no power to the heater. i did not have any issues with either of these issues previously. I tried to reset pump, but no help. I also shut it down and turned back on several times, but no change. any help...

I have an IC40 Pentair chlorinator, the cell light is not on at all, that tell me its not producing any chlorine, correct? If that's the case, do I need to clean it?

Thank you for the feedback, yes that was the stuff I added. I just saw ur reply, I have been outside working on the pool all day. I decided not to Floc it and I vacuumed it twice today and rinsed filters both times. Water is clearing up. I actually just got my TF-100 test kit in the mail today...

I've done some reading about the phosphate levels, mine is at 500 which isn't really high from what I'm understanding. I put 16 oz of PhosKlear in the pool today, which made it cloudy. It was not cloudy or green to begin with. I guess my question is, do I still have to Floc it tomorrow. Also...

Unfortunately, I already put the solution in, they have me running it for 12-24 hrs without the cartridges in. I’m supposed to put the Floc in tomorrow and shut down my system and vacuum/backwash in 48 hrs. I cleaned the filters this morning when I took them out, they were very dirty. They are...

I have a Pentair clean and clear plus cartridge filter, but I do not see anywhere with a backwash set up. I have phosphates and have to Floc my pool. Man at pool store told me to remove the drain plug on the bottom to rid all the waste When vacuuming the pool. Is this the best way to go about...

Thank you Jim, that was very helpful.
