ps0303 Thanks, I called an electrician and got the lights working. I wrapped with electrical tape the wires in the heater that were chewed on by mice, and replaced the circuit board. The heater fired up immediately. We enjoyed the hot tub (and lights) the first night the heater was working...

ps0303 I'm now having more problems. When I opened the heater and began vacuuming the cob webs, the vacuum shut off. It was plugged into the GFCI which also includes the pool light switch. The GFCI would not reset. I replaced the GFCI and the pool light switch but the new GFCI will not...

I have a Sta-Rite Max-E-Therm 400 (SR400NA) with the error code E 01, service heater. I have a pool company that opens my pool (and summer stores the cover) and they said I have a heater problem. Person said the E 01 code indicates the thermistor but he unplugged the old one and tested with a...

I also have a Sta-Rite Max-E-Therm 400 (SR400NA) with the error code E 01, service heater. I have a pool company that opens my pool (and summer stores the cover) and they said I have a heater problem. Person said the E 01 code indicates the thermistor but he unplugged the old one and tested...

I have two areas in my pool where the waterline tile (1" tile) has fallen off. I'm trying to figure out how to do this repair. The pool is 24 years old in-ground plaster pool. From the attached pictures, the small spot above water level is a 3"-4" area. The second area is above-below water...

Chem Geek - Your above Pentair IntelliChlor link shows CYA 50 - 80 PPM (page 10). I have the same Installation Guide and my booklet shows CYA 30 - 50 PPM (page 10). I have an IntelliChlor IC-40 Ver 3.02 installed 5/2013 manufactured 7/2012. Has Pentair changed their CYA recommendations? I've...

For the past two weeks I've been unable to spend much time on the pool and BBB and shocking process. We have also had a lot of rain on the East Coast the past 10 days and I've drained water several times. I shocked multiple times (12.5% liquid chlorine) but have not been taking readings after...

There IS something in my pool that doesn't allow me to hold FC. After the six shocks (25 gal of 12.5% liquid chlorine), I went to two pool stores and they both told me the same thing. The reason I cannot get the FC reading is I have high nitrates (40 ppm) and high phosphates (500 ppm) and the...

Jason- Am I missing something here? Your quote "From what i have read, you have not even started the shock process yet." I've done 5 shocks with a total of 25 1/2 gallons of (12+%) liquid chlorine in the past 24 hrs. My water is clear. I'm unable to measure an increase or hold FC. Do I...

OK, my FC = 0 I've already added 25 1/2 gallons of liquid chlorine (12% - 12/5%) in the past 24 hrs. The water is clear. Do I continue shocking?

MY READINGS ARE GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION! The water is clear. Readings before 1st shock: FC 0.50 CC 2.0 CYA 80 I started the shock process 24 hrs ago. Sat 12:00 pm 6 gallons of liquid chlorine (12.0% from pool store) 1:00 pm test FC 8.5 CC 1.5 2:45pm 4 gallons of liquid chlorine (12.0%)...

Thanks for the quick reply jblizzle. I read the "Shocking Your Pool process" and another post on how much chlorine needed to shock (5/31/2012 by doublewide6). I calculate from the pool calculator I need 9 gallons of 6% liquid chlorine. <Chlorine / CYA Chart w/SWG> CYA 70 - Shock FC 28 =...

I've been adding chemicals and aerating the pool and after about 12 days, I have these numbers: 3.0 FC 2.0 CC 7.3 PH 125 TA 300 CH 70 CYA 16 Borates (from pool store) 3400 PPM Salt (from pool store) I bought a $19 PVC pipe aerator from Amazon to lower the TA...

I opened the pool this past weekend and have been adding muriatic acid to reduce the PH. FAC 0 TAV 0 CH 225 CYA 40 TA 180 PH 8+ TDS 1100 Pho 0 When I was not home, the pool service company came by and installed the IntelliChlor IC40, about 500 lb. of salt, left (2) 40 lb...

For several years I've had a Pool Frog mineral system and this year I'm switching to a SWG. The pool is still under cover until May 15th but I have purchased and will have installed next week by the local pool service company a Pentair IC-40 Intellichlor cell and power center. They will leave...
