    Intellichlor ic40 blows fuse

    One more question, pentair is replacing my intellichlor because it was still under warranty. When the new pump was installed it was set to run from from 8 am to 8 pm each day. In the past my old one ran for 24 hours. I will change this one to run for 24 hours for now since my salt cell is on...

    Intellichlor ic40 blows fuse

    Thank you Jim, it is a glass fuse, my husband said he could see it broken inside, he did not test it though. Hearing that the power should be off if the pump isn't running I would be is our problem. My old pump was making an extremely loud noise when it was trying to run the couple days before...

    Intellichlor ic40 blows fuse

    The company that installed my pool about 10 years ago is no longer in business and he has moved out of state. The pump we are replacing was a pentair intelliflo variable speed. It was all corroded and leaking water at the bottom. We replaced it with another pentair variable speed pump. The new...

    Intellichlor ic40 blows fuse

    We had our pump replaced last week and after it was turned back on the intellichlor Ic40 now continues to blow a fuse and will not work. Could this be related to how the pump was hooked up? I have called the pool store that did it and they say it's not related, but it did not start doing this...

    How large of a hole can be patched?

    Last Wednesday overnight we assume some kind of animal got into our pool and tore the liner trying to get out. We are waiting on quotes from companies to replace the liner. I know this is the busy season for every pool builder so I'm wondering if it would be possible for us to patch it until a...

    Hole under liner in shallow end.

    Our pool was finished last September, we already have a fairly large hole that formed under the floor of our shallow end. It's about 8" long and about 4" wide. There's also a smaller one starting near the steps in the shallow. What would cause these holes to form? We have a vinyl liner pool, is...

    Are there other leak companies besides American Leak Detection, and overflow question

    Thank you Casey, they have checked all of that multiple times. First the pool builder, then the two times the guy from american leak detector came they checked that. After the pool was finished we noticed the dirt around the pool staying damp looking and then any rain we had the liner would come...

    Are there other leak companies besides American Leak Detection, and overflow question

    I have two questions, can anyone recommend another company besides american leak detection? I know I have a leak in my pool, but they can not find it. The guy has swam my pool twice and he says it's leaking also but he just can't find where. My builder installed a sump pump after us having...

    How do you pressure test lines?

    Thank you Charlie, yes he knows there is a problem. He just can't find out where it is, and he is not wanting to pay the $400 to have american leak detection to come out. We are still under warranty with his contract. We have known it was leaking since it was finished in September and it's been...

    How do you pressure test lines?

    Last night at 7:30 the pressure was down to 11 psi and this morning it was at 0. It was all pressured up at about 1:30 yesterday afternoon. Is it normal to go to 0 over night?

    How do you pressure test lines?

    Yes my water level goes down in the pool about 3/8" per day. Thank you for the help, we will try the skimmer and returns connections, they tested around the returns before but never with the eyeballs out.

    How do you pressure test lines?

    I'm still having trouble getting everything figured out with my pool builder. We have had a leak that I think is in the lines and he is saying it can't be because the pressure would drop immediately after pressure testing. This is how they tested, every return in my pool was plugged with pvc and...

    Skimmer not creating a big suction, and fill water question.

    My skimmers don't seem to create much of a suction, everything just floats on top of the water in the skimmer and not sucked down in the basket. I turned my valve today to add water into my pool and I noticed that everything in my skimmer was pushed back out into my pool. Should water be able to...

    Bubbles coming out of return

    My pool is still under warranty with my builder. I was just trying to figure something out on my own until he comes back. We have had nothing but problems since it was finished in September and just slowly trying to piece together all of the problems and see how they are connected. He said he...

    Bubbles coming out of return

    I turned the swg off and still had bubbles. There was a very small amount of moisture around this pipe coming out of the pump. Could this be causing the air coming in? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    Bubbles coming out of return

    Thank you, I never thought to try turning the swg off. I'm going to do that today. My pump runs 24 hours a day, so could water still be leaking and air coming in? Kim

    Bubbles coming out of return

    Thank you Jason, it has done this since the pool was installed last September. My pool builder told me it was gas caused by the swg. We have had a lot of problems and I'm trying to figure them all out and see how it's all connected. If I had a leak in a pipe somewhere could that cause air to get...
