    pump gods.. my Pentair intelliflo vs3050 trips breaker

    Replaced the pump and took apart some of the components. I see that the Drive Unit Board is burnt at the glued in capacitor. That really sux. Everything is glued in so you cannot repair it. New drive board unit is $800. I got entire new pump for $999.

    pump gods.. my Pentair intelliflo vs3050 trips breaker

    No unions at the inlet outlet. I guess my pool builder skimmed that part. I will get it with the new pump. BTW what is the different between the intelliflo VS against the Superflo VS. Price is big difference. some $1199 vs $699 for superflo VS. I will probably try to order the pump today.

    Salt level dropped surprisingly... a LOT!

    I also have a big drop in salt level. using the taylor test kit. It was about 3900ppm about a month ago. It is now at 3200ppm. I didnt really have to fill the pool more than the usual evaporation. Can my filter cause this? I didnt really clean it for the pool open this year yet.

    Pentair IC 40 blinking Check Cell w no Calcium deposit
