intellichlor

Hello. First time poster/user. New gunite pool/spa owner. I have heard such good things about this community, looking forward to learning from each of you So i tested my water manually this week, and last week, and I am showing good ph, good orp, but fcl is low to zero. Alk is good too...

We are installing a new pool, and have an Intellicenter. Our plan has been to just add liquid chlorine as our chlorination system, but people have suggested SWCG to us, and we’re wondering which Intellichlor model would be the right one for our pool size. We’re also wondering if we need the...

Howdy y’all- I have Easy Touch with IC40 Intellichlor. It’s my understanding that the SWG will automatically reduce its chlorine output when in spa mode. But I’m not seeing that on the IC40 control panel. It stays the same whether it’s in pool or spa mode. I would expect to see the output LEDs...

Brand new IC40 says Low Salt ... but the Taylor K1766 says salt is at 3400ppm. Good evening. I just plumbed in a Pentair IC40. I brought salt up to 3400ppm in two steps. I've been aerating and acid dosing to bring TA <=80, and then I'll add cyanuric acid to bring CYA up to 60. In the mean time...

I'm planning on starting the construction of a pool with flush spa during the upcoming weeks. The current plan is to use a single Intellifo3 pump and Intellichlor SWG for the water circulation/chlorination. The attached diagram shows the planned pool/spa piping and valve diagram. One of the...

I recently had to replace my Intellichlor after it started tripping the small breaker on my Easytouch. I initially had trouble with my new SWG not making enough chlorine, but figured that out with y'all's help (chlorine level was too low to catch up). Now I have an issue with my IntellipPH...

I’m posting my experience without much new information except the relatively minor issues I had with the Pentair High Power Wireless (HPW) Link Kit but I thought it might help to gather some of the URLs into a newer thread that might inspire someone else to upgrade to IntelliCenter. Virtually...

My Pentair Intellichlor IC40 is pretty old. It's bulging and has some minor cracks and seems completely dead (no lights) I changed the fuse 10 amp, power came back for two seconds and smoke came out of unit. I'm guessing it is completely dead? If so should I be good to just swap it with a new...

New pool owner. I've found a number of threads related to this but none with my specific (unusual?) setup. Easytouch 4 system with intellichlor SWG. So I have a pool with attached spa with spillover feature into the main pool. The way it's setup, in POOL mode, the pool jets run as well as a...

Getting a high 4200ppm salt level reading from my newly installed Intellicenter connected to an older IntelliChlor IC20. I got a 3260ppm reading from a recently calibrated LaMotte Salt Tracer PockeTester. Are IntelliChlor salt detection not usually accurate, or is my Salt PockeTester in need of...

Does anybody who lives anywhere around eastern Suffolk, Western Nassau have a Pentair Intellichlor chlorine generator and power center who would consider having me come over for a few minutes to test an Intellichlor unit. The problem is that I need to test this ASAP, and I just found that my...

Hi Folks. I've just completed my installation which includes an Intellichem governed Intellichlor all tied up to an Intellicenter. Despite all odds so far everything is going ok. I have a question though: is there any place I can see a log of each time the cell is activated and at what...

My Pentair intellichlor flow light is red and the salt level indicators are flashing red to green. I cleaned it with acid and it did not fix it. There was just a little calcium in the cell. I ran diagnostics and the attached pic shows the results. Any ideas what the issue/fix could be. One...

Unit 4-5 years old 8k hour usage All readings were addressed and perfect (Phos 90, Alk 100, Ph 7.7, cya 60, Cal Hard 200, Salt 3600) I cleaned the cell with acid and rinsed quickly as no visible calcium deposits. all my lights are solid green and tempted to give up and get a new one. my...

I have a Pentair Intellichlor installed and am using a Pentair Easy Touch indoor control panel. When I check chlorination on the panes it indicates there is inadequate flow. However on the Intellichlor installed on my pool the floe light is green indication all is well. How can I get these two...

Hello, all! I have a Pentair IC40 Intellichlor that is under 2 yrs old. It runs consistently on 60%. Pool was getting a little cloudy, and local pool store/dealer recommended "shocking" the pool by running the Intellichlor on the 24 hour (100%) boost mode. When I depress both the "less" and...

We just bought this house in October. They replaced the filter. I want to know if they put the salt generator thing back on correctly. The flow arrow makes is seem as though water is going from the IC20 salt generator back into the filter. I don't know what I am doing- I have added 8X 40lbs...

I just replaced the flow switch and thermistor a month ago. I live in south FL. It’s never too cold! can I clip a flow switch wire to stop it from thinking the water is cold? What wire?

My intellichlor IC 40 salt cell is powering up and then immediately turning off and starting over again. I'd just replaced the flow switch, when I first turned it on it was fine, went out to check two hours later and it was doing the power cycle thing. Info about my system - Salt cell was...

The trouble started with a red flow switch light on my Intellichlor IC-40 even when there was good flow (a problem noted by others on this board). I tried bending the flow switch stalk and then the light was always green, even when the pump was off. This worked to produce chlorine, but I didn't...

Hi all - I am converting to a SWCG and per the advice from the great folks on this site I am staying with Pentair due to the automation and remote capabilities possible integrating with my existing ET controller w/ScreenLogic2. I have an iChlor SWCG with the additional Intellichlor power center...

This is my first winter with an IntelliChlor installed. It's been a bit chilly this week in the Phoenix area, so I have found that my COLD WATER light has been illuminating the last few days. I can't remember the last time I actually used liquid chlorine to dose my pool (since my old Zodiac...
