I have been maintaining my pool using Pentair IC40 SWG. I have been maintaining a chlorine level of about 10 according to test results from my TFT test kit. I recently bought new powder for the test and results were higher at about 15 and not coming down for several days even with SWG set at...

I had a similar issue and had luck with the following procedure. Used air gun to dry joint with pump off. Applied pvc cleaner and used air gun to force into joint and dry. Applied pvc glue and used air gun to force glue into joint. Continued to apply low air velocity from gun until glue set...

Pool is only 6 months old

Before I attempted to suck it out I couldn't put my finger into the hole at all. After I could stick my finger all the way down as far as it would go.. If I did suck out a plug or screen what would happen worse case scenario.

I think i sucked the plug out of the second hole. Is this an issue until i find a new plug?

Why is there 2 holes in the bottom of my skimmer under the skimmer basket? One hole obviously goes back to the pump. Im asking because when I felt in the other hole there was a lot of rock and sand in it like it was plugged. I used suction to clear that hole and it is open now. Im worried that...

There does seem to be alot of air under the pump lid. I inspected lid and o ring and didnt see and issue. I have ordered a new o ring and will try that when it gets here. Its weird that this was not an issue until the SWG install. Thanks

Im happy with the new SWG install but I'm having a troublesome issue. Ever since installing the cell I have lots of bubbles and gurgling sounds coming from returns. This happens with the cell off or on. I unplugged cell and I still have issue. This was not occurring before the SWG install. I...

Thats what I will do, just wanted to make sure I wasn't hurting something running cell at 0%.

Thanks for the replies. I really didn't know how much Cl the pool was using. We just moved in and the pool had a puck feeder which I just replaced with SWG.

I recently completed converting my pool to SWG. Before starting it up my FC was at 7 and CYA 50. I started the unit at 40% (IC40) and ran for a day and checked the following morning and FC was 11. Im wondering the best way to dial the correct percentage without a lot of chasing around. My...

Thanks for the info, I certainly dont want lightning taking out my boar. My IC40 is connected to the com port along with some other tiny wires. Not sure what they are, maybe for spa side remote?

Thanks for the link, is this a relatively easy install? I debating if I need to purchase an expansion board. My com port is pretty full now and my lite version of easy touch didn't come equipped with one. I have seen some installs were the protocol adapter is put in the easy touch and hard wired...

Jim R, I see in your signature you list Screen Logic 2. What is the 2 versioin?

How long do you run your pump daily?

I didn't know where to set ic40 to start. FC was at 6 when I fired system up, cya 50. I'm running it at 40% today and will test again tomorrow. Its not a very big pool so i didn't want ic40 to spike FC high. Im thinking I just need to monitor daily to dial in sweet spot. Thanks for your help...

Finished making the switch to SWG today. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I'm able to control ic40 through Easy Touch panel. Only question I have is if its normal to see micro bubbles coming from the returns? I have one return in the pool and one in the spa producing tiny bubbles and...

Tomorrow Im going to plumb in ic40. Salt for pool wont be here until Thursday. Is it alright to run water through ic40 without salt? Im going to plumb ic40 in place where the puck feeder was .

Connection to pump relay.

Pool pump breaker is the upper left one.

I was able to wire power center. First picture is circuit breaker for pool pump. I think its 220. So I wired power center for 240, second picture.

The power center will be close to the ET. I have another question before I begin. How do I know if the easy touch is wired 110 or 220. How do I know if the power center needs to be wired using the 110 or 220? Thanks

Thanks Jim, going to pick up the conduit and wire tomorrow. Let the fun begin.

Starting the process of converting our pool to SWG. I'm installing a Pentair Intellichlor IC40 along with the power center. I will be utilizing my Easytouch to control the SWG. Looking to buy electrical supplies to wire in and I have a few questions about wiring the power center communication to...

Where can I get best deal on a IC40 with power supply? Thanks
