    Burned Pentair IntelliPH connector and IC40 not communicating.

    Great advice Dirk! I started yesterday doing exactly what you are advising. I work on vintage Honda motorcycles and of course I've chased my fair share of electric gremlins and already have that exact tube of dielectric grease. I didn't think about using that in this application but will. Thank...

    Burned Pentair IntelliPH connector and IC40 not communicating.

    Thanks, yes I have been keeping up with Dirk's posts. I did another bypass of the IntelliPH this morning and maybe for 5 minutes I had communication of chlorine level and PPM. Thought I had it figured out but then it went back to communication lost. Very frustrating as this can get very costly.

    Burned Pentair IntelliPH connector and IC40 not communicating.

    I have a Pentaire Easy Touch Control System connected to Intelliflo pump, IC40 SWG and Intelliph acid dispenser. Overall system is 7 years old but the IC40 and IntelliPH board were replaced 2 years ago. Yesterday I noticed on my ScreenLogic App that the IC40 had lost communication. The...

    Pentair 12 AMP Intellichlor breaker tripping

    OK folks, the Pentair warranty technician came out and he was great! First thing he did was check the power supply before and after the transformer. He replaced the IC40 (no charge) and it works perfectly. I had him check out the IntelliPH and apparently the board is toast. I didn't want to say...

    Pentair 12 AMP Intellichlor breaker tripping

    You're absolutely correct Jim. When looking through the Pentair site it does say the IC40 can be owner installed, but when I asked the tech at Pentair (via phone) the hypothetical question "What if I had installed this myself" his reply was, "It would have a 60 day warranty". I don't think...

    Pentair 12 AMP Intellichlor breaker tripping

    I called Pentair and now have their "approved" technician coming to take a look. I'm thankful when I registered the IC40 that I told them it was installed by a professional. I got the impression had I installed it myself it would only come with a 60 day warranty. It's like buying a computer then...

    Pentair 12 AMP Intellichlor breaker tripping

    Thanks Jim and Dirk, it really helps to hear all possible sides to the problem. I believe my ex-tech was totally wrong about my IC40 unit only having a 60 day warranty because I bought it online. I haven't called Pentair yet but did find some interesting information on the Pentair site about...

    Pentair 12 AMP Intellichlor breaker tripping

    OK, I have now run the unit for about 3 hours with both IC40 and and IntelliPH disconnected. The 12AMP breaker has NOT tripped. Does this mean I'm screwed and have a bad IC40? Or should I spring for a new surge board and see what happens? As for the warranty issue, what is the "correct" thing...

    Thanks Jim, Good suggestion. I'll run it without the cell connected and see what happens.

    Pentair 12 AMP Intellichlor breaker tripping

    Well darn, I bypassed the intelliPH and went directly to the EasyTouch. Upon startup, after 45 minutes of the IC40 running perfectly the 12amp breaker tripped. I reset and after 5 minutes the breaker tripped again. It's almost like it's something that takes time to warm up to trip the breaker...

    Pentair 12 AMP Intellichlor breaker tripping

    I have Pentair EasyTouch control system with IntelliPH acid dispenser and Intellichlor IC40 SWG. I recently performed a pump head tube replacement on the IntelliPH. Shortly after doing so I noticed no power to my IC40. Upon further review I noticed the 12amp Intellichlor breaker was tripped. I...
