I would not try the repair in the video as it would probably just get an extension of time and eventually the error will return. Your cell being 6 years, you got your moneys worth...

Also, i have seen the flow switch on the "pool side" return in a pool/spa system. Idea being that if the system is in spa, the switch will open, and shut off production of Cl. You wouldn't want the Cl generator running while you were using the spa... even a little.

I'm sure that SCP is a fine pool builder, However... If you can, or if you already have your proof of purchase in hand, you may want to contact Pentair directly for two reasons: 1) it will give you a chance to register your equipment with Pentair so that you will get the proper warranty...

Rule of thumb, and you can adjust this frequency as all pool water chemistry can be different from pool to pool with regard to calcium, IOW, i have no idea where your chemistry is, so, the following is sort of a blanket statement: Do a visual inspection of the cell once every 2 months. It...

There is no way of knowing how that cell was treated. Cells usually have a life of +/-10,00 hrs. And when I say treated” I don’t necessarily mean mis treatment of the cell. Variables would include: run time, percent, cleaning intervals, etc. While tempting (price), I would not recommend...

Some comments regarding prior posts... You are more likely to get corrosion from an improperly bonded system than you will from salt(ed) pool water. Stainless steel (good quality), and even then, monitor it's condition. And brass or bronze. It is one of the more softer metals, so it should be...

So wait a minute... This is a question that is asked of YOU! Lets hear it, Why did you get a chlorine generator? If your pool builder tried to talk you out of it, that could only mean that you went out and did your own homework. What was your deciding factor?

BINGO! Like i said, i can only tell you what happened to the plug, not what component caused it. Not being on site, it would be irresponsible for me to tell you exactly what part failed. Just can't tell from here. I will say that when the cell grows old/ fails, it will draw less and less...

That plug burned because it was the point where the line was the thinnest. Either because the amperage draw was higher than what the plug was rated for (board didn't control properly), or it could have been that the plug wasn't securely connected, or the socket connection to the board was thin...

I know this is over a year and a half old but... Couple of things: First thing i would have asked is, is there any way the box can be relocated? This would remedy the problem in the easiest way IMO with regard to warranty. If not, i would have contacted the manufacturer to see what they...

How old is this cell? Typically you can expect to see about 5 years of life from the cell (10,000 hrs.).

+1 on getting rid of the strips... Add salt only after an independent test of the water to confirm that your level is low. When the temp drops so does the accuracy of the on-board sensor. ESPECIALLY the A/P units. One thing to keep in mind, if the A/P was running earlier in the summer with...

Salt does not evaporate. The only way you would lose salt is to drain the pool, a leak, or when you splash or bring it out on your body. Whenever your system says the salt is low or high, you need to first curb the urge to correct it without a test first. Your sensor, when it gets the build...

Re: Intelliflo pump and intellichlor SWG - How to turn SWG on & off without common ti I get this complaint all the time. "Why did you wire my new VS pump with its own timer to my existing mechanical timer?" This would pertain to you only IF you have a booster pump for your cleaner, and it...

The cell on average draws about 7 amps, so yes, it can get warm.

The third "pad" is still there, it is just covered by the epoxy seal. Cell reversing is how the unit "self cleans" the cell. It should stay in cell reversing as long as it stays in "forward". Typically in 3 hour cycles. It should still produce while in reversing.

There is something up with that unit. You should not have condensate inside like that. Call Pentair and see about warranty right away. There is a serial number sticker, should be on the underside of the cell, have that ready when you call. 1 800 831 7133

I would assume so. Manufacturer needs to take power outages into consideration when engineering that reminder. Otherwise, in some areas, you would never get a reminder.

Blank screen on occasion concerns me. Not sure bad/dead cell would cause that. Also would consider water temp, (but) you would know better than us if it shuts off in the winter due to low temps. Manufacturer gives average life equivalent to about 5 years. I would at least pull the cell and...

If you are still getting plaster dust coming up when you brush, you should bump the pump up to at least 1750-1800 till you get the dust out. It's kind of important to get it out in a timely fashion.

Aside from the possible extra cost, you don't need to decide weather to get the ic40 integrated into the ET box now. You can always get a stand alone iC-40 at a later date and still be able to fully integrate it into the system. Also, there would virtually be no Chlorine on site to spill, get...

iC-20 Intellichlor. I'm afraid that if you were to get the iC-40, you may not be able to throttle it down enough to accommodate 10,000 gallons.

Suntouch interface is horrible. I suppose that if you were agree-able to learn it, and hone your skills every couple of days, it would be OK. Navigating the SunTouch is definitely a perishable skill. You have to know what button to push, to get to the proper menu, for control. EasyTouch...

What ever you do, Make every attempt to stay away from the SunTouch controller! You'll be much happier with the EasyTouch.

Sounds like there is a problem with one of the boards, probably the front board. You may need to have a service call for it. It isn't hooked up to automation is it?

Aqua-Rite SWCG trip low salt light based on the instant salt reading.

If you aren't sure just put a piece of wire there to make the jump. It is hard to recognize if you don't quite know what it looks like.

But it is explained (in the manual) that the system will shut itself off during cold times. You will find with only that information, most customers are satisfied, and would rather not have a long drawn out reason otherwise for it. It is the 1%ers that drive you crazy. Just be thankful its...

I believe this. I'll admit, i don't know anything "outside" of the working limits of these things for the simple reason that, at the end of the day, it is information that i have no application for. Not to say that it isn't interesting, but i have never needed this info because a customer...

Me thinks you guys have too much time on your hands... Again, If you want a more accuracy, or rather less error, you would have to pay for it. Not to say that it would cost (the manufacturer) more. With an acceptable range of 2800-4500ppm (iC40), the SWCG can afford that much error and...
