Back in November I had posted about going on a 17 day vacation and on day one my pool equipment broke: Cracked Backwash Valve, Sand, and SWG No Flow. I have everything fixed except for the SWG. The contractor apparently hired an electrician that didn't read the instructions and he did not put the SWG on a Timer... Therefore, it was on 24 hours a day for 8 months regardless of water flowing through it or not. That is why the grid fins are bent in the picture below. The Pentair Support Tech was actually surprised the housing was still in tact.
Anyway, this incident isn't under warranty. Luckily I hadn't paid for this portion of the work done yet, so I'm going to by a new SWG on my own and hire an electrician to hook it up properly! For my size pool is the IC-40 a good fit? Is Pentair a recommended brand? Thanks for any input!
