Are there any bubbles coming out of the returns(is it making any chlorine at all)? If so, then I think that you should turn off the IC40, and use bleach to: (a.) shock until the algae is gone,(it's eating the chlorine faster than the IC can make it, you will NEVER be able to kill it with the IC...

Other costs you may want to consider- Bleach - $1.50/96oz., you WILL want it on hand for shocking(if needed.) You'll need 6.6 jugs if you are at 4 FC and want to shock to 21 (with a CYA of 80.)(http://www.poolcalculator.com/)(Most SWG recommend against use of calcium bound chlorine normally sold...

I don't see that you've listed what brand filter that you have, but you might have a problem similar to the one I described in this thread - http://www.troublefreepool.com/testing-a-sand-filter-any-ideas-t19811-20.html Good Luck, and best wishes

rest of the pics - looks like the order I wanted them in didn't stick. Good Luck, and Best Wishes!

Well I was mistaken about the voltage - it should be 39. You are correct about the wiring, here are some pics that might help. You can see the rectifier board marked data, data, ground(black) and 39V(red.) Those 4 wires then go to the keyed connector- green, red, white, black in a circle with...

I think that when I put a meter on mine (connected to the dry IC40 to test it) I got 36VDC. The IC4o itself has regulators for its controls and relays, and will probably work with any DC voltage in the range specified on page 15 of the manual linked below, which you might find useful. "Output...

Just Googled "Aquarite Repair", 'cause I remember that they use a varistor that fails on occasion, and found this link full of info that you might find useful - http://www.doityourself.com/forum/pools-spas-hot-tubs/355004-aquarite-chlorine-generator.html Hope it helps!

People leave the "c" out all of the time! What you bought is really a "swcg" which stands for Salt Water Chlorine Generator, and you really need to understand how chlorine works to keep your pool safe, whether you generate it yourself, or pour it out of a bleach bottle. Pool...

You should have a manual. If your installer didn't give you one, here is a link http://www.autopilot.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=81&Itemid=127 Look at pages 20-22. Good Luck!

I like the idea, and would have been interested in purchase, had I not embarked on a simple controller already. Comparing to a pentair, jandy, or other system is not fair, as they are so old, technology-wise. The open source part of your solution is going to appeal to anyone who has ever tried...

Ah,botched liner installs. You pick the old guy with all the experience, and he sends his crack-head nephew and pals to do the work! http://www.troublefreepool.com/ig-liner-replacement-botched-concrete-repair-t13996.html

Here's a link to our liner, http://www.troublefreepool.com/ig-liner-replacement-botched-concrete-repair-t13996.html and maybe some info you might find handy PRIOR to/DURING a liner replacement. We didn't like any of the liner tile styles.

Well, if you've already opened it up, and you have a meter, you can carefully check for transformed power. The power cord connects the transformer to the wall outlet, so there is always AC power to the bridge rectifier/capacitor and small main-board connector (34 and 18 VAC, I think) when it's...

If you want to super-chlorinate why not run both units at the same time, or better yet use bleach? I have a single unit on a 24K pool and it runs 4-5 hours a day with CYA at 80. I thought of using two in parallel, but need 6-8 hours pump time to turn the pool, so the extra plumbing hassle...

There are also the operational and electrical considerations. The Liquidator is a purely mechanical device that works with the laws of physics and chemistry, you can trouble-shoot it by eye ( full/empty, flow/no-flow, etc...) and it can be connected with-out cutting your plumbing. Adjusting the...

Here's their homepage - http://www.bestway-service.com/comersus_test/store/comersus_viewitem.asp?idproduct=342&idsku=58216&descriz=flottatore%20chimico

Wow, this looks really cool! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bestway-Hydro-Force-Chlorinator/dp/B003GC8F38 It must be an Intex company, I hope they start to sell it over here,'cause I want one, especially if they price it at $149 US!

The most expensive thing in the unit is the cell, its made of some kind of unobtainium, I think. By cutting it in half, they cut their cost way down. I've read that disabling the copper ionizer is just a matter of disconnecting the wiring to it, but that still leaves the copper electrode in the...

Check for this recall on the Intermatic In-Wall timers - http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml09/09259.html For direct replacement of the clock motor timers, I would recommend a P710xME, which fit right in the box and give you multiple 7 day timer control settings. Heres a link...

Great idea, will be watching for updates. Maybe I missed it somewhere, but what does the FPGA board set you back? I bought and implemented an Arduino ($35) that only controls my ECG (Intermatic timer does the pump,) although I originally intended to do the whole pool with internet capable...

I don't know if this will help you or not, seems like a common fault - http://www.nocellpower.com/ Good Luck, and Best Wishes!

Sorry Jason, I read the new posts from the bottom up, and just saw that you answered my above question in poolnoob's other post.

OK, I'll bite. Why do you prefer Hayward to Zodiac?

I do use the Hayward every now and then to feed pucks, but mainly it's there to plug up the holes in the piping. Yes, you still need another chlorine source with an Electronic Chlorine Generator, if you want to quickly raise your FC level. You can maintain a level with a generator, but you need...

How much chlorine does your pool require? That is where you should start, then find a model that makes enough to keep it satisfied. The Intex 8110 ("old" model) makes 24 grams/hour, but is limited to running a maximum of 12 hours per day. The Intex CS8110 (new copper ionizer model) makes 12...
