    Intellicenter Upgrade kit - yes or no?

    We have an ~3 year old Pentair intellitouch controller - originally i5+3 but had some expansion board put in so I think it's equivalent maybe to i7 or i9+3 now. The app is kinda annoying - you have to login from scratch anytime you ever open it. And things like changing pump speed make it...

    Intelliflow pump setting question

    We have IntelliFlo pool control and variable speed pump. It is setup that under pump I have 4 settings: Pool, spa, cleaner (in-floor) and Spillway My question is this: Can I add a second "pool" setting with a higher RPM setting so that I can schedule the pool to run most of the day at a very...

    Eyeball aim/size or skimmer/floor return balance - best way to ensure proper skimming?

    Our pool installer put very small eyeballs into our pool because they can't get enough pressure into our in-floor cleaning system to meet factory spec. We have since put that on a separate timed circuit so pool return is not active during cleaning cycle. So now I'm thinking these small (3/8")...

    EasyTouch - 4 valve limit? Crazy?

    Pentair Ultratemp ETI - combination gas/heat pump unit

    Anyone seen one? It’s on their site and was announced quite awhile ago but our PB says “it’s not out yet. They are recommending a different heat pump and we elected to have a gas unit for the spa. Right now we have no chiller ability which concerns me and also 1 unit instead of 2 would be...
