    IC40: Which Flow Switch to buy?

    The red low temperature light went on on my IC 40. This seemed unusual as the temperature of the water was about 80°. It was my guess that the thermistor had gone bad. So I replaced the flow switch and everything operated normally for several weeks and then the light went back on. I replaced the...

    Program EasyTouch8 for Clean/Vac

    I found one for just under $400 and felt that would not break the bank. Pentair has plenty of my retirement savings already. They should have a retirement plan.

    Program EasyTouch8 for Clean/Vac

    With the WhisperFlo VST I programmed three speeds. One is for 3,000 RPM for when I run my vac. I have an open button on the Panel in the No.6 position.

    Skimmer Basket Liner: Loving them!

    I live in an area where we have a lot of stuff falling out of the sky and into the pool, particularly the cotton from cottonwood trees nearby. In the past this stuff is sucked into the filtration system and gathers on the cartridge filter. It can even germinate on the side of the filter. For a...

    Finding it difficult to locate a 300K BTU heater I brought in my gas contractor and he told me my service would support the 400K unit. He will do the gas connection and replace the regulator valve. I was able to find the unit on Amazon and they offered me a three year warranty. I will respond...

    MasterTemp 400 Service Heater Light On Heater Cycling

    The combustion chamber is solid. The corrosion on the lid is superficial and could be removed. We seem to have narrowed this down to an issue with the flame sensor circuitry. Since I am understanding that the igniter is part of the flame sensing circuit, and I've just replaced the igniter, would...

    The tub is dry as a bone, no water came out when I removed the bolt. Is it possible that when I installed the igniter the gasket didn't seat properly?
