I recently had a new motor fitted to my intelliflo pump and since then I have had a trickle of water overflowing from the small white pipe that can been in the attached photo. To help diagnose the issue I have a couple of questions: - Is a pipe like that a standard part of pool plumbing and if...

Just got an Over Power Alarm on my Pentair Intelliflo and it won't start. Is there any troubleshooting I can do or I need to call a pentair engineer out ?

I noticed that my Intellichlor IC40 today was totally dead with no lights. I checked obvious stuff like fuses but everything seemed fine. I suspect the cell may have gone bad as its quite old (installed 10 years ago but probably only 5 years of actual service). I would welcome any...

We had a bad storm in our area last Friday which dumped loads of leaves and branches in the pool. Took hours to clean up! The baskets both in the skimmer and next to the pump were jammed tight with leaves and twigs. My problem is that now the suction generated by the pump is way down...

I have an Intelliclor IC40 which til today had run trouble free for several months. I just noticed that the cell light is off which (If I understand the manual correctly ) means it is not generating. The manual indicates that this most likely means that it is an off cycle but even though I...

A week or so ago I resurrected an old IC40 that was attached to my pool but not used for the last few years and I got it generating chlorine again and I'm now a fan of SWG technology. However the IC40 was not used for 5+ years and has a few problems: - It constantly shows 'very low salt...

I started using my Intelliclor IC40 this week after having stopped using it a few years ago. Without doubt this is the best way to chlorinate one's pool - no idea what I was thinking when I stopped using it - I suspect that in my ignorance adding pucks to plastic floating things just...

Last weekend I decided to start using my Intellichlor again and yesterday finally got it producing chlorine (I added salt very slowly and it took nearly a week to finally get to the right level for it to work). During the process my pool (previously pretty clear) became cloudy. I suspect the...

I fired my pool guy about 6 months ago as he had allowed CYA levels to get too high and the pool was turning green. I drained the pool and started again and its going quite well (pool water is clear and nice to swim in). I've been using household bleach for chlorination and just add more...

My pool was started to look a little murky so I got a water test done and it shows CYA = 163 (FC =6.12, TC=6.12) Is my best option to drain some water from the pool and refill or can I recuse the situation in some other way ? Thanks !! Rob

Just signed up with a pool maintenance person for the first time and he tells me the laterals on my Hayward S244T ProSeries sand filter (its about 7 or 8 years old) are broken. He suggests that I replace the whole filter with a new pentair cartridge filter as it will get me a cleaner...
