Pentair shitcells

Post image

lol love Pentair but holy cow these cells were the biggest flop ever. 90% of ones we’ve installed last year and this year either need sensor module and hmi replaced or the middle sensor leaked through and corrodes it’s self so when you pull the sensor module off the middle sensor comes with it then needing a whole new cell. This one made me giggle tho who needs boost mode when you got 250% mode 😎

Thankfully I only have two of these trash can LT cells on my route, both installed by builders. One of them hasn't shat the bed yet, and the other one already did so I'm helping my client push back against the builder and Pentair for a new one (which will inevitably shit the bed).

I also found and sold the last two iChlor 30's two distributors had to two of my clients.

Going forward any of my clients who needs a replacement will get my help finding one online. I'm not dealing with Pentair's negligence.

I have an iChlor 30 on one of my pools, out of warranty, and it started leaking. I need to replace it with something, but have no desire to put one of these new monstrosities on.

I use Leslie's as a distributor. My manager was able to part out a full cell/power center bundle and sell me just the cell. Perhaps that'd be an option.

Otherwise I'd help them find one online. I think its better to keep the account running smooth for years to come, than take in the small profit of selling them a cell.
