My Pentair Intellibrite 5g color led light's engine stopped working. No apparent burn marks but notice that even though my PX300 was wired for 12v i'm getting nearly 13v at the unit (wired correctly per the label). So: can anyone tell me what the tolerance of this engine really is (don't need...

I've replaced my burned out light engine and now it is time to reinstall. I bought a Pentair branded gasket. the Big question is to whether to use lube or not What experiences have you had. Just cannot destroy my new $600 engine Thanks Marino

Local hardware store No experience whatsoever sure would like to though but cannot afford to trash my new engine Regards Marino

Hello, There is so much written about leaking gaskets that i thought i would ask. I purchased a Superior-Pro lens gasket. Looks nice but the original was pure white whereas this one is yellowish. Anyone with experience with these? Quality any good (evidently made by Aladdin)? the Pentair...

Hi Jim, Thanks for replying. My easy touch system is all hardwired (indoor controller). will the screen logic work leaving the indoor control hard wired or will i need to change that out as well? Wish i could just replace the IS4 with another one but so far it's a no go. just not...

HI, Happy labor day weekend after 5 years (even being covered) my IS4 remote no longer functions. First thought was to simply replace it,. Well come to find out I cannot pull the 60' wire. Won't budge and i'm afraid of ripping it. My question is, can a Pentair 522104 kit be used to replace all...

it's a DE. Had it apart a few months ago (after finding the staining) and there were no signs of any staining. Pool store recommended Jack's Magenta Stuff to try and if that didn't work then drop the PH to do a non draining muriatic acid wash. Little apprehensive there as all the water goes...

HI , Didn't get you message earlier. Thanks for offering to help. Nothing on any of the sinks but has some blue (copper?) stains (one or two lines) on the toilet bowl. Those have been there for a while. That is curious to me as well as we have a carbon filter and water softener for the main...

I have an 8 year old pebble sheen finished pool that has gotten stained. Yellow stains that do not brush off not even a bit. Odd that is mainly on the walls and floor not on the steps (or at least not as dark). i tried rubbing a vitamin C tablet on them but that didn't do anything. however if...

Fixed it! Although the exploded view does not show them there are some gaskets behind the jets that were missing on 2. Replaced them and the spa works great. Makes all the sense in the world the water pressure was far greater than the air pressure causing the motor to overheat. Now that the...

I may have been misleading. The blower clears the line just fine with the check valve directly below the blower. Problem is that it just shuts off in 12 minutes (longest its made it). I'm thinking it's too much HP So, Does it make any difference to put the check valve close to the spa or by...

Thank you both for your comments. TFP Expert. Are you saying that if I use the blower at a level higher than the sap waterline I can just let the line fill up and not use a valve. As mentioned by Jason Lion is the valve spring too strong in the air valve at 1/4 lb? That is the one that came...

My spa is raised about 40" above the pool. Prior to remodeling my air intake was just beyond the pool deck raised about 8" above ground level with a one-way valve built in. inlet was pointing toward the ground. Not a lot of bubbles so thought to use a 1.5hp Silencer blower. For asthetics I...

Your color looks perfect. What is the color look like on the shallow steps. Seem some finishes that the deep end is great but the shallow looks like blue paint. don't want that. Wet edge (Satin Matrix) here is $500 more then Pebble Sheen. However the CLI/NPT product is nearly $2k less than...

Brushpup CLI is way less expensive than either PT or WE where we are but you confused me by the "if done again" part going with PT or WE because they have certified installer. You feel that strongly that due to those companies using a certified installer is best even though you like what you...
