That is kind of what I was thinking as well. I do have automation. Thank you for your insight.

Ok. Thanks. I didn't know what the trade grade label meant. Does that mean in-store or from pool retailer?

I just found IC40's on Woot for 1k. Cheaper than pool stores or other online stores of course. That said, Pentair rep told me that if the part number doesn't start with EC then it only has a one year warranty vs a two year warranty. So has anyone purchased an one off Woot before and can confirm...

Sorry. One more question. Will I save money in the long run going with the 60K assuming I get more life out of it by running at a lower percentage? It looks like it's about $500 more. I am just not sure it's worth it because of the variables involved. Thanks.

Thank you both! Exactly what I needed to know.

So my Intellichlor IC40 started flashing the inspect cell light today. I acid washed which really didn't do anything and did not bubble at all. Put it back in and powered it up and same thing. I checked the salt level using Taylor kit. Salt level in good range. I believe that most likely my cell...

Here is another Pic that shows that this is blowing through the filter and coming back out of the returns. This swim out has a return in it and you can see where the stuff settled on it.

At 3k rpm psi was 7.5. I have a robot. I don't ever vac to skimmer. Here is what it looks like.

Hi, this is my first time dealing with this particular issue. I opened a little late this year and have a mess cover so I had more algae than I typically do to get cleaned up at opening. This is my 13th summer with this pool so I've done this a lot. Completed the SLAM process last Friday...

Good thought. Honestly, since it was 13 years ago I forgot exactly how they connected the flex to the rigid and I was nervous about breaking any joints with putting too much pressure on it. Looking at those old pics makes me think that I can probably do what you are suggesting without causing...

I did not install all those ball valves. My pool builder did when they built the pool. I never thought about trying to bend that piece. I've never tried anything like that before.

I have been dealing with leak at the unions of my SWG the past couple of years and I want to actually be proactive in fixing it so I know longer have a leak at my SWG unions this next swim season. Basically, the issue is that the return lines have settled and are now too much lower than the line...

Yes. The faceplates are cracked. They were cracked before I put plugs in as I didn't realize it mattered. I'm guessing they just get over tightened by someone and age and crack. The ones in the steps are threaded as well so they are the same plugs. The difference is that they are not thin and...

I tried to close my pool tonight for the first time and ran into some problems. Several of my return faceplate Hayward model sp1408b were cracked and after putting my threaded plugs into these faceplate I saw bubbles. The bubbles eventually stopped after an hour or so but I'm assuming that is...

Thanks.

Can someone tell me if running my pump at a higher rpm say 2000 will produce more chlorine than running it at say 1200 rpm for the same amount of time? I am guessing it will but not positive. My cell is on and the flow rate is sufficient at both speeds to keep the cell producing. Jus wasn't...

I didn't mention that I ran at slam levels when I opened it. I used the mustard shock levels upon open g and my cya was 0 so my shock level was lower. Also I do not loose any chlorine at night.

This is our fourth year with your pool and I have something weird going on that I need help with. First, I noticed a weird smell to the water. Not sure what could be causing this but here is my other issue. I believe the sensor in my IC 40 salt cell is bad because it is indicating low salt...

FC level early this am was 13.5. My CYA is about 0 after losing it over winter. Pool is clear and everything else is in check. If the kids swim will it bother them with the FC at 13.5? How high is too high to swim?

To be honest, no I did not because there were no oils or anything like that on there that I thought would cause them to be ruined by using the acid. If it is just dead algae at this point shouldn't I just be able to hose off? Or should I soak everytime?

I shouldn't need to use acid everytime though right?

Pool running at 2100 rpm after cleaning at 8 psi. Went up to over 20 within two hours and the low flow light came on the Intellichlor (not using during shocking I just use that as my indication that my flow is too low to be doing much) and suction at skimmers was not good nor return flow from...

New Cartridges and Dead Algae Merged by moderator. Please keep your related topics together. Thanks, jblizzle Still going through the shock process. Will probably be finished with it after today as my numbers from last night and this morning looked almost good to go. My problem is that I've...
