    How to perform firmware upgrade on Pentair* controllers

    While reading through this I noticed that people were adding unnecessary steps or making things more difficult than necessary using the older Prog12z on Windows 7 systems. Win 7's built in "Compatibility Mode" program handles older software like this seamlessly eliminating the need of a...

    Looking for info/experiences with solar covers

    Jb's suggestion about buyiing a cheaper cover is your best bet. Solar blankets aren't what they used to be and retailers like LESSlies hook you for ever with their "pro-rated" warranty. My customers now buy a new one once a year for less than $100 and it works out better for them they have...

    EasyTouch/ScreenLogic2 and ATT Uverse??

    In regard to the ScreenLogic, the "new" wireless kit #521964 is superior and less than half the price of the older and now discontinued #520639 adapter, so make sure you're not buying or getting the old stock. With the networks I've done at least here in the Los Angeles area on U-Verse there is...

    EasyTouch/ScreenLogic2 and ATT Uverse??

    Just to clarify I do not work for, nor do I receive any compensation from Pentair or any of the other BIG 3 mentioned. However, since I not only install equipment I "actually" have hands on use of the stuff 6 days a week and see first hand how certain equipment and systems work and don't work...

    EasyTouch/ScreenLogic2 and ATT Uverse??

    One important factor that I believe everyone should consider when looking for a remote access option to their IntelliTouch and EasyTouch systems is that Pentair ScreenLogic2 is designed to not only allow a person remote access to their system but to actually be used as their primary (optional)...

    A Bicarb Start-up guide for TFP members

    I wouldn't doubt it if they didn't wash it because they knew you were posting here. The Bicarb Start-up is by far the best for Quartz finishes. I use it on every finish start up, but my quartz finishes are consistently even without blotchy areas especially on the dark colors where it really...

    Intelliflo XF

    I assume the question was directed to the OP but I'll offer my 5 cents worth anyway. :mrgreen: There are a few good topics on solar here in the forum that can pretty much answer most of the questions anyone may have. You can get a fairly decent "ball park" figure of what you can expect in...

    Intelliflo XF

    I think I know what you are talking about I'll try and post a pic of what I believe you are referring to as the cavitation. I set the speed so it appears that it is pushing more water than it is pulling and the water sits about 1 to 2 inches below the lid and appears to vortex at times and...
