Thank you - I have a pentair salt system. I have found where I am, if I use liquid chlorine through the winter I come into spring very low on stabilizer however, using a floating table chlorinator in the winter has let me come into spring about right on stabilizer. Anthony

Hello - I would like to place an inline chlorinator where my salt cell is during the winter months. Are any of you aware of a retrofit kit or has anyone done this and documented it from scratch. Thank you, Anthony

Hello Everyone - I have a pentair variable speed pump. It is about 6 years old. When it is starting up, I am hearing a new sound that sounds like a clicking sound and then when it gains speed it goes away and sounds normal again. Could this be a sleeve bearing that is going bad or maybe an...

Is it possible to convert a cartridge housing to a de filter? Are the housings the same across pentair? I know I would need a backflush valve but if possible what else would i need to do? I need to replace my cartridges and I am trying to determine if a de filter would be a better option.I...

Hello Everyone - I have a screenlogic system. I can lon into it with my iphone and one windows 10 computer. I have a new computer and cannot lon on. Any thoughts? Anthony

Thank you for the information. I think I understand what I read. It seems there really is not independent control of a timed heat only sometimes. Either the pool / spa is running a pump with heat every time the pump starts or it is not running heat every time the pump starts. You cannot say...

Hello rphpool - This is for pool. I don't have a spa. Thank you, Anthony

Hello Everyone - Can the easy touch run an egg timer on a heater? I would like to be able to start the pump and heater remotely at a setup of say 85 and for it to maintain 85 for an egg-timer of about 4 hours. Thank you, Anthony

Thank you Pool Clown - The installer contracted the electrical out. He swung by to start completing the job and actually had that fixed before I mentioned it to him. I will check to see which method he used to correct the issue. Anthony

Thank you for the information. So, can the pump run and the swg not be on? It sounds like when you select an event like waterfall you have to unselect it or it stays on forever. I did see the option to turn the pump off before rotating a valve but when the valve was manual I did not need to...

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...

Jim - that is a great run down. I already have the pool. Thanks for all the info. I do have a robot and I do like it better. The other pump for now sits idle. it looks like I am set. Is the screen logic a diy option or should I buy from the installer? Thank you, Anthony

I have a single body of water pool with a vs pump, swg, waterfall , cleaner pumpand a light. I am planning on adding a heater and changing the light to a colored led light. Al equipment is and will be pentair. I also have a diy acid doser. I find pentair controls confusing. I am looking at...

Thanks again - I was planning on buying a Pentair only because I have all other Pentair products and have been happy with them. The unit's instruction manual states the following. "The filter pump should run continuously when the heater is on, and for at least 5 minutes after the heater...

Hello Jason - Thank you. I can do that, I have one for my acid pump. Might even be able to run both off the same switch. With this option I will not have the heater turn off 20 minutes before the pump. Does this matter? Anthony

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...

Thanks for the info. What panel brand did you buy? Anthony

Hello I live a little north east of Dallas by about 40 miles. I have a pool only with a surface area of about 650 ft sq. It is about 13,000 gallons. I would like to extend my swim season on both ends. I am considering a gas fired heater or a solar system. I think most of this extension will...

Thank you for the replies. The pool is about 36 by 18. perimeter is 100 ft or so. I plan on starting to research robots. Thanks again, Anthony

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...

thank you guys - yes I have one of those test kits.

Hello - I live in dallas. I have neglected the pool this winter. I have some algae growing in it even though it is brutally cold. The algae is on the sides and appears to be a greenish maybe greenish brown. Is it possible to shock a pool at these low temperatures? Thank you, Anthony

I know this is an old post so I hope someone is looking I saw the pictures in the beginning with the compression fitting for the probe but I do not see how or where the thermistors are connected. Please post a pic. Anthony

thanks for the info. I have hesitated adding borates because I catch the dog taking a drink once in a while, not often. my runs from the swg are at least 40 ft. I do have one outlet that crests the water when the pump is on high. maybe I will rotate it a little. anthony

Hello - I have a plaster pool with a swg that is about 1 year old. I am still seein quite a bit of ph drift or at least weekly maint of ph (maybe this is normal). I am adding about 80 oz of acid weekly on a pool that is about 13000 gal. my numbers are: salt 3400 FC 3 CC 0 PH 8.4 today 7.2 a...

I am using this. I understand this is more reliable than a flow switch Veris Hawkeye H908 Split Core Adjustable Current Switch

Thank you for the replies. I bought the proper stenner connections/ I bought the pump used and it did not come with them and the new tubing I bought only had the sleeves that go over the tubing. I should have it in a few days.

Hello Everyone - I have a stenner pump that will not draw the liquid to pump. The liquid is in a 5 gal carboy and the pump is about 1 ft above that. I am using Teflon taped threaded connections to connect to the pump tube. I am using a #1 tube. The pump will draw liquid if I raise it above...

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
