The jugs that I get from my pool store say "CKS Packaging" on the top plastic, the label says "Aqua Guard", I believe these are the jugs: https://www.thepoolsupplywarehouse.com/products/chlorine-gal-jug-only

@duraleigh and @Envieddesigns I would love to find a carboy on/off spout (preferred) or even a regular spout like you mentioned, but the links you posted do not work for me, I'm getting an error. Is there any way you could post the manufacturer and part number of the products you posted? Or...

Thanks all for the replies. After much consideration of heater options I decided to go with an electric air-source heat/cool heat pump, going with AquaCal HeatWave SuperQuiet SQ166R. I want to keep the main pool heated constantly to ~79-80 degrees (while using solar cover-I'll only need 5-8 or...

Howdy, I'm looking to replace my Pentair MasterTemp 400 natural gas heater. I was looking at the Raypak web site and saw that they have a new AVIA "Next Generation" Pool and Spa Heater that is Wi-Fi enabled, etc., looks like it may have been introduced just in the last couple of months. It...

@TampaKathy I just saw your reply to my post, no I haven't decided on a replacement heater yet, but I'm looking again. Looks like you decided on a big AquaCal unit, looks nice!

ticoman, My pool is slightly bigger (a tad under 30k gallons), I have the Pentair Intellichlor IC40 rated to produce 1.40 Lbs chlorine per 24 hours, I run the IC40 from 8:00am to 8:30pm (12.5 hours) and usually at 80% or 100% capacity during the summer here in west-central Florida. So it has to...

Thanks!

May I ask where you purchased your IC60 replacement cell from?

Roger that. Appreciate all of the responses. Have a great weekend!

JamesW - sent you a PM (conversation).

ccbill, I'm looking at the AQR15 owner's manual (on Hayward web site), on page 8 there is a section "To Set Turbo Cell Type" which gives the procedure, there is a "t-3" setting listed, hope that helps.

Thanks guys for the suggestions! Jim - good idea, yes my ~4.5 year old IC40 is still chugging along, I'll try running a little lower at ~3000 ppm and see how that is. JamesW - that AquaRite Low Salt unit looks interesting, thanks for the links, looking into it, something like that may be my...

Howdy, I've been running my original Pentair Intellichlor IC40 SWG on my 30K gallon lap pool since 2017 and have been pleased enough with its chlorinating performance (although if I had a do-over I would get the IC60 for more chlorine production capacity). On the unit it says "Ideal Salt 3600...

Howdy, I have a Pentair MASTERTEMP 400 natural gas heater, manufactured 8/15/2016, model# 460736 (standard model, not the HD/ASME). I just replaced the thermal regulator (original was corroded shut). I've been troubleshooting, the heater currently has the following issues: 1) Automatic Gas...
