Would someone kindly confirm my order of operations for pool closing (@Newdude has also offered plenty of help that I have already skimmed)? First time closer, and for some reason, oddly nervous. Day before close, bring up LC to about 15ppm, add polyquat 60 according to directions (allowing...

This year I’m saving $300 (and every year hereafter). I have all the parts I need (blower, modified pentair pump lid, plugs, gizmo, etc.) but I wanted to ask this up front. 1. Our pool company always filled the floating cylinders with pucks. I assume it was TRI-Chlor or something (probably...

Just reviving this stagnant thread. For clarification, I can simply swap my Quad DE 80 cartridges for CCP420 (seems to be same size) ones and I’ll no longer have to use DE? @1poolman1 you mentioned you’ve done with before…. What modifications did you need to make, if any? I saw you mention 1”...

I’ve just started to notice that our steps in our FG pool is starting to turn cloudy. I’ve tried to capture some photos, I hope you can see what I am trying to describe. I tried scrubbing with a magic eraser and hitting it with a stiff bristle brush. The magic eraser failed because (1) it...

Never noticed this before. This coupler is between our pump inlet and main drain/skimmer diverter. Never saw this metal piece attached to it. What is it and what does it do?

Just trying to get some ideas from the TFP audience. Our pool gets 10+ hours of direct sunlight per day and we’d love some shade/umbrella options. Rather than have weighted bases sitting on the deck, I was thinking about putting some sleeves in the ground and concrete them in place. Then we...

So, I just noticed my water had gotten a tinge cloudy 2 days ago. Not significantly, but, not TFP clear that we’ve been enjoying since opening. Few notes, I have always had my IC40 set to 20% and it has always kept the FC between 4-7 reliably. We haven’t seen any rain and it has been 85...

So, I’ve had my salt in the water for over a week (first time using the swcg). Daily testing with k-1766 confirms that my salt has been between 3600-3800 every day (18-19 drops). The IntelliCenter reports back with a salt reading from the IC40 much HIGHER (in contrast to all other threads...

Every day or more often, I keep getting these errors (I get the auto email from the IC): Pentair IntelliCenter Alert: Alert for Pool is ACTIVE Error: IntelliChlor 1: Communication Lost Note: This usually indicates that the 4-wire communication cable between IntelliChlor and IntelliChem has...

Anyone have this working? I know last year when you first installed and setup the IC my watch app was connecting. Now, it states “connection times out” every time I try. I have deleted watch app, phone app and rebooted IC panel. Any suggestions? @MyAZPool Maybe you know of a fix?

So this week I am manually controlling chemistry with liquid chlorine (10%), stabilizer, MA, etc. Pool water is 60 degrees. Once I have it dialed in, I want to throw the salt in the pool, targeting 3400-3600ppm and fire up the IC40. It’s currently set at 0% output. According to pool math, I...

Yesterday, I finally ran the gas pipe for our new PB that was installed in November. I went to turn on the heater and fired right up. The issue is that I set the heater temp to 104 at the heater control panel and 62 degrees at the IntelliCenter. Water temp was at 58 degrees. IC called for...

I’m a bit perplexed here. This is the diverter valve just prior to pump. It is split between our main drain and skimmer. This is the current position and how it was left ever since install back in November: It appears as though the main drain isn’t in use in my pool. Just a few questions...

So, I peeled back the corner of our cover over the deep end and took a sample at about 3’ depth (about mid-depth) using my 3/4” PVC “straw”. Keep in mind, all we did was initial fill in November (water was trucked in) and PB added a few scoops of this and that (I didn’t know enough to ask back...

So, I’d like to run electricity to our shed and the IC load center would be super convenient. Any reason this would be a bad idea? I realize this means the IC would have to be energized during the winter, but, would there be any other ill effects of using an available blank spot with a CB just...

We just had our pool equipment installed and I wanted to make sure that I am diligent and rodent proof our MasterTemp 300 heater. I was on the MK RodentProof website to buy a precut kit and noticed that our heater doesn’t match their “A” or “B” kit. It seems as though our heater already some...

So, we had our final walk down of our install scheduled for next week. As it turns out, all the equipment will be located immediate behind our garage. This was fine for me as we can run all electric and gas through the garage and come through the wall immediately behind the equipment and offer...

We’re at my wife’s cousin’s pool (3 week old install) and her iChlor swcg keeps flashing all red lights with “AC” error. Any suggestions? Seems like it’s getting proper power, but, I can’t find that error code anywhere in the manual or online. Thanks!

We've started the process! Contract sign and permits submitted. We are on track for install next month, assuming weather cooperates. Obviously it will be installed and winterized for use next year. Here's the build sheet: Complete Pool Installation with permit package, pool blueprints and...

Anyone know if the -salt variant of the K2006C is just the addition of the K-1766 salt test or is it advised to buy the two kits individually?

As we are approaching our build (next month), I still need to decide between the easytouch w/ScreenLogic or going for the IntelliCenter. I think at this juncture I’ve read all the threads and reviews on the newest automation platform and it seems as though there are folks unhappy with the...

So, I’ve been searching throughout TFP and google... it appears my search skills are not up to par. I’ve resorted to looking through the owner manual, which is shared by both units. What is the difference between these two robots? At first glance it appears that it is just the caddy that is...

Hi All, We are in about to sign a contract with a highly reputable fiberglass installer in South NJ. They have been great in answering all my questions and adjusting pricing as necessary. I think we're all set, however, the original spec list from the PB included the Pentair FNS 36 DE filter...
