I just had an easytouch and screenlogic system installed with a new heater and to be fair the install of the heater is not complete yet. I was expecting this to be as easy as programming my harmony remote. graphical interface with drag and drop. I am trying to program it because i dont want...

Hello - I have a pool only, no spa. I have a Pentair intellifo, swg, intermatic timer pf1202t, and a booter pump for a cleaner. How would I wire in a gas heater? I know it should turn off 20 min before the pump and this could work with the firemans switch and the pf1202 but the pf1202 does...

Hello I have Kreapy Krauly Legend pressure side pull cleaner and it appears to be shot. Wheels slip on gears, get stuck in corners, rear hose knobs worn and even the hose a litte, bag shot. This surprises me. Shoudl I be surprised? It seems a rebuild is quite a bit of money. A new one is...

I noticed most of the auto dish detergents are phosphate free. Does this make them less effective. They are definitely a cheaper alternative to tsp. Anthony

I see injection fittings on the stenner website for low pressure pumps but check valves for the high pressure pumps. What is the injection fitting? What is its function? Does it do the same thing as a check valve? Thank you, Anthony

Hello Everyone - I live near Allen, TX a little north east of Dallas. I have a large yard that has young shade trees in the background (bur oaks, Chinese pistacios, texas ashes and lacebark elms - about 10 trees in total). Behind the pool I was thinking cold hardy palms, bananas, and cannas...

Hello - I have an intermatic pf1202t timer running a pump for an auto a kreepy krawley and a swg. They wired it so the timer on the left turns on the swg and is in series with the timer on the right for the pump. Therefore to run the pump, both timers need to be on. For the most part the swg...

Hello - I have a Pentair VS+SVRS pump and a Pentair cartridge clear and clean plus 520 and when running the pump on low speed (1100 rpm), I am getting near zero head pressure. The person with the builder that helped startup the pool said he always likes to see at least 10 psiand suggested...

Hello - I have read here that you can run a valve actuator with a switch. I have found wiring diagrams in some of the owners manuals. It looks like you need a timer or a switch, 24 vac transformer and a single pole double action relay. If I am reading these diagrams correctly, the actuator...

Hello - I have had my pool running for about a week. I have a Pentair intelliflo pump with no automation. I am running it on high speed for 2 hours and low speed for 8 hours right now. My pool is 18,000 gal. I think I get 1 turn of the pool in the 1st 2 hours but I have a SWG and am running...

is there anyway to give the pentair ic40 a signal to operate at increments less than 20%. i know there are other ways to get it to reduce its output through timers or adjustable current sensing switches (I have a pentair vs pump). The pentair automation systems are expensive when you only have...

Hello - just had the pool equipment installed on a new pool build. They obviously did not try to lay the piping out ahead of time. Notice the angles going into th pump. I don't think this meets pentair's recommendation of coming straight into the pump at least 5 times the diameter. These are...

Hello - we live in the dallas area. Wicked hot and dry lately. Had gunfire applied yesterday. A neighbor said we should wet the gunite with a hose twice a day. Pool builder did not mention anything. I called him and he said to wet it at least once a day. Well I hit it last night and this...

I see several replacement bulbs listed as 2g or 3G and pentair originals listed as 5g. What is the difference. Anthony

Man, Pentair's website leaves a little to be desired for a new customer. No compare features and no good better best ranking. Each item is its own sales pitch. I am putting in a in ground pool. No spa, no heater planned for now. Planning a VS pentair pump, Pentair swg, weaping wall and...
