jose Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I have a Pentair pool system (salt water pool) and am getting a "Pool Err" on the panel where the water temp should be. Is the temp sensor part of the chlorinator? Water tests show a salt level of 3500 ppm while the chlorinator itself says low salt (2750 ppm). According to water tests, it's not producing any cholorine and I assume that since it cannot detect the water temp it's shutting off the chlorine. Or is the temp sensor somewhere else? Anything I can check/do besides calling in a service company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Clown Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Pentair makes several control systems. Which one do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jose Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Pentair makes several control systems. Which one do you have? I'll check. Funny thing. Pool was low on calcium so I had started the process saturday and finished up on sunday. Checked the panel last night and the pool now shows 3500 ppm for the salt. I guess it needs a proper level of calcium to generate chlorine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Clown Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 You need a certain level of salt. Is the unit making chlorine now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jose Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 You need a certain level of salt. Is the unit making chlorine now? I'll have to test the water for the chlorine. Funny, now it says low salt again. What';s an easy way to find out which pentair system I have. I cannot find the manuals the builder had given me.

Hopefully, i'll be able to tell from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
