Postby Guest » Mon 18 Jun, 2007 18:27

FYI - bought new unit with same result! called Intex and they said to raise the salt! It was at 3500ppm?? so I added more and it started to work but kicked off on alarm but it appears to work at night (cooler), the transformer is really warm. Hope it stay's working.

It requires a little technical aptitude, but it works great. I'll never go back to chlorine tabs or granular. I'll post the fix based upon the positive responses.

Doesn't sound like he has one. I think it's kinda rude to proclaim "I have a fix!" but I wont post it until I get positive comments. :roll:

Intex 8110

I keep getting a Code 91 and my cell is covered with scale, I've had to clean my cell every 4 days. My pool place (before this occurred) sold me some Calcium + because my water was not hard enough. Now I'm having to constantly clean my cell. What is going on and how do I fix this?

What kind of pool? What kind of surface? What is your Calcium Hardness test number?

Intex 8110

Postby justclc » Thu 28 Jun, 2007 10:46

I just spoke to the pool place, they said my Alkalinity and Ph were high (7.8 and 200) which is what is causing the scaling. My calcium is 280 which they said is good. They told me to add 1/4 gallon acid tonight and tomorrow night and keep an eye on the readings.

A ph of 7.8 isn't too terrible but a total alkalinity of 200 is really high. The acid will also bring down the ph. Resist pouring and PH-Up products in for a day or two as the ph will probably bounce back on it's own due to the high alkalinity. You might have to do the acid plug more than once.

What kind of pool do you have? In ground? Above ground? What is it made of? Vinyl liner? Cement? Fiberglass?

Intex 8110 clorinator 91 problem

Postby bj » Sat 07 Jul, 2007 11:34

I have had the same 91 problem with two Intex 8110 units. The first was under warranty and was replaced. The second unit started the 91 problem several months after putting it into service. As many of you have found, Intex told me I could not fix the problem and would have to buy an new unit or start using tablets again.
Well the unit would not perform anyway, so I proceeded to find out what I could do to fix it. It does take some technical ability but I think now people can do the following. This is not a guaranteed fix, but it did work for mine.

If you attempt this, I am not responsible for any damage, and it will void any warranty from Intex.

CAUTION: Unplug the unit while the dome is removed. There is HIGH VOLTAGE present when it is plugged in.

I removed the cover from the control unit. There are wires connected to the cover, so be careful not to pull them loose. There is a printed circuit board mounted to the base of the unit. On this PC board are three adjustable resistors that are sealed with RTV. I carefully removed the RTV from the first resistor “RV1” and turned it counterclockwise. When turning the resistor use a small screwdriver and only move it a slight amount “CCW”. This seems to have taken care of the 91 problem for now. I have not tested this for a long term as yet, but the machine did not go into alarm after several hours. I will see if it last for the summer.

This will put the unit out of calibration for the 91 alarm, so check you chlorine and salt levels and along with other chemicals and adjust them as needed.

I hope this helps someone. I had no results from Intex when requesting customer assistance.

I have the same Code Error. I had my water tested at the local pool store and my chemicals are in balance, calcium isn't too high, plenty of salt.

I did everything recommended in the maintenance section of the book (even though the titanium plates were clean).

I called Intex and they are sending me out a replacement.

Also, they have a ladder recall for pools 42" and above bought between 1/2006 and 2/2007. They are sending a replacement for that as well.

I printed out this "fix" and will keep it in the owner's manual just in case.

The CSR couldn't give me any preventative maintenance recommendations. I'm going to try to inspect and hose it out weekly, and have my water tested before I hook up the replacement.

When it works, its great. My water is crystal clear, even in the GA heat.
