salt water chlorination

Hey guys, We would really appreciate your expert advice and opinion on this. We have an indoor salt-water pool that is running year round at around 87-90 degrees. We have a Pentair IntelliChlor IC40 Salt Cell that automatically adds chlorine to the pool. Since 2017, we've had several salt...

Hi - this is my second season with a pool but the first year we’ve opened it from winterization. It’s been open for one week. Water temp is running between 65-70 degrees F. After 48 hours of the pump running (Thursday) I tested it at the pool store. Chlorine was at 1. Cya at 39. Salt was 2900...

Using a salt chlorine generator results in the generation of chlorine as well as sodium hydroxide (a strong base) that increases PH. Therefore, if I increase the chlorine generation % of my device, I will also be increasing PH. 2NaCl + 2H2O → 2NaOH + Cl2 + H2 OR Sodium Chloride + Water =...

Hey all, after troubleshooting - I believe my thermistor needs to be replaced. Our Aquatrol system (AQ-TROL-RJ) suddenly stopped producing chlorine, showed 0 ppm salt, 0 sanity and 0 amps. This thread was so helpful! Aquarite - Diagnose & Troubleshoot your own Main Board Upon further...

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...

Hi, we have an Intellichlor salt generator. Whenever the pump is off the flow switch stays green. I took it off and tested the flow switch and it works fine when it’s not hooked up. I push it and it comes on I let go and it turns off. But once it’s hooked up and water starts flowing through...

Hello all, I’m new here to the site but not to pools. Grew up with a chlorine above ground pool, bought a house 5 years ago with a 25,000 gallon in ground pool that I converted to salt a couple years ago. Today I had to add 25 pounds of calcium chloride to increase my calcium hardness. Since...

I was told that the Pentair SWC should only be powered when the pool pump was running. Seems there is no connection available from the Hayward SP3400VSP to indicated when the VSP pump is powered and running. You would think you could run power (or a signal) from the Hayward pump that indicated...
