    No Power Lights

    My neighbor has a Swim Pure Hayward SWG. When he firsts turns it on, the red flow light flashes. When the flow is restored the light goes out and NO lights are on. Readings: 4300 0 100p 0 AL-2 r 1.40 What's up? Thanks

    Muriatic Acid in skimmer

    What you say sounds intuitive but remember the acid come in plastic containers with no harm. My jug even has a rubber gasket in the cap that is fine.

    Muriatic Acid in skimmer

    I don't have a heater and was thinking maybe adding MA to the skimmer when necessary will cut down the times I would have to soak the Salt Cell. Crazy?

    Hayward Issue

    The Swim Pure control box display reads "Cold" and the green Generating light is blinking. The water is 82 degrees. The cell was just cleaned. What's up?

    T-15---- Check Salt red light

    Thanks Bottom line, if the green "Generating" light is solid ON, chlorine is being produced regardless of other lights?

    Any SWG convert regrets?

    The cells should last longer at these prices!

    T-15---- Check Salt red light

    It's my neighbors pool.... The red light reads "check salt" (my Taylor kit measures 3600ppm). The green "generating" light is on. The readings are: 2900 84 24.7 5.6 / 5.7 (on then off then on) 2900 If the "generating" light is on will it produce chlorine even though the "check salt " is on?

    Hayward flow switch...

    Thanks folks, I used the phone jack trick and it cleared the red light. I'll replace the flow switch ASAP but I really don't see much that could wear out with them.

    Hayward flow switch...

    Thanks, I'll check that tonight. If I take the old phone plug and twist the wires together and the light stays on, what does that tell me?

    Hayward flow switch...

    Thanks again. I'll get a meter. Meanwhile, I took a second flow switch and plugged it in to the control unit (leaving the original installed) and taped the paddle to the main arm. Shouldn't that cut the red light off? It didn't......

    Hayward flow switch...

    Thanks, but could you tell me exactly where to measure the ohms resistance on the switch (unfortunately I went to public schools ...)

    Hayward flow switch...

    Is there a way to test the flow switch. I unscrewed it and touched the 2 pieces together and expected the control box "red light" to go off. It didn't.

    Stabilizer....

    No on the salt. I'll just have to live with it. The pool goes through Muriatic acid at 1 gal every 2 weeks (seems high as well).
  17. P

    Stabilizer....

    7lbs. in March and 7lbs. in Sept.
  18. P

    Stabilizer....

    Does it seem unusual to need 7 lbs. of Stabilizer twice per year to maintain 60-70ppm? The pool is 35,000gal. Thanks

    Red and Green light blinking and red flow light on IC-40 (both intermittent)

    Yep, that's your 3rd. They are super easy to replace. I'd get an extra after market now. You'll need it sooner than you think (translation...the minute you are out of warranty). Two small tips. When you cut the old one out, screw the new one in before you connect the wires. Second, buy a pack...

    Red and Green light blinking and red flow light on IC-40 (both intermittent)

    I help several neighbors with their pools (translation....I have bought many Pentair style flow switches). I've noticed both after market and OEM seem to last about the same time, which is way too short! You can end up replacing 2 through the life of the cell.

    Red and Green light blinking and red flow light on IC-40 (both intermittent)

    If you replace the flow switch and it doesn't help, at least you'll have an extra flow switch which you will eventually need anyway.

    Warm weather and salt concentration

    Will a pool's salt concentration measure differently if the water is 30 degrees warmer or colder?

    Pentair IC60 Question

    To verify, the flow light and salt light are green, but the Cell light is flashing? Yes, kind of strange..... I just replace the flow switch with no changes.

    Pentair IC60 Question

    No date on the sticker..? I'll raise the salt level. Could the flow switch be faulty?
