    Pentair iChlor30 coincidently stopped working.

    That may have been the problem. I had to add liquid chlorine because it was too low to do the overnight test. The chlorine level wen down overnight by 2pp. i will add more reinforcements as needed and hopefully the SWG will be able to maintain after killing anything else that’s contributing to...

    Pentair iChlor30 coincidently stopped working.

    I had some staining on my inground pool so I turned my ic30 to 0 to lower the FC level per the instructions for magic jacks. Process went great, the next day stains were gone. then I started the ic30 at 20%, usually sits about 30 or 40% depending on the time of year. FC level didn’t budge, move...

    Pentair Easy Touch Control

    Yes, I have this wall remote and the screenLogic that I use with my app. I mostly use my app anyway but the wall remote is very handy to turn on the spa and to check water temp. I have the

    Pentair Easy Touch Control

    I have the Pentair Easy Touch model 520614 and I believe its had a stroke. I first realized I had a problem when it mysteriously maxed out the temp in the pool and spa to 104, reset using my phone app but would happen again. Since I removed the wall unit, I haven't had an issue. The display on...

    Scheduling spa spillway

    @Jimrahbe , you change the actuator valve position by moving the cam, correct? I will have to move the cam to make the return normal off on spa return instead of the neutral 50/50 position. making the valve a 180* turn The suction side, keep as currently. Thanks Rich

    Scheduling spa spillway

    Yep, that’s what I have, found it, thanks. I’ve never been in that section before. Maybe now I can also figure out how to make it so I can change the light colors on my bubblers Thanks, Rich

    Scheduling spa spillway

    Thanks for the great detail @Jimrahbe ! I’ll do a search about reconfiguring my return valve, I believe I understand what you mean there, instead of in the center as off, it has to be either all pool or all spa. when I go into my ScreenLogic, I don’t have those setup pages. The only page that...

    Scheduling spa spillway

    I was reading in another thread that you can schedule to only have your spillway run for a few hours rather than all the time. From looking at my system, I don’t think the builder set it up for this feature, and I don’t see an option in the menu. Below I’ve posted some pictures of my system, do...

    Switched to SWG

    Thanks! I'm already starting to see it FC level stabilize, its very cool to see it hang there without having to do anything. Now if I could only get the pH to do that but I have a spill over spa and 2 blubbers so I'm still adding acid on a regular basis. I wish someone made an automatic acid...

    Switched to SWG

    8800 is whats on the plans from the pool builder so it's the only number I have to go by, I assume it's pretty accurate. I guess I could reduce the run time to 8 hours if need be, we'll see how it works out with the SWG.

    Switched to SWG

    That's great, thanks. I've been running for 9 hours since new, that's what the pool builder set it at and it's been working well so I will probably keep it there and only adjust the run time if it becomes necessary.

    Switched to SWG

    I've been reluctant moving to a SWG, but for convenience, I made the move. I have an 8800 gallon 2 and a half year old plaster pool and spa that I've been using liquid chlorine except for when I'm away. Because all my equipment is Pentair, I chose the Pentair iChlor 30 purchased and installed...

    PH always 80+

    I have the same issue, my pool is 1 year old. My spa inlets create a lot of bubbles and as well as the spa spill over, I have two bubblers on the lounge deck so I think high Ph will be something have to live with.

    bubbler nozzle tube

    FYI I emailed Pantair and they asked for pictures because they hadn't heard of this issue. I sent pictures, they said they would cover it under warranty but my pool builder should be able to do it for me. I contacted the pool builder and the guy came out this morning to replace the nozzles...

    Pentair Screenlogic Control Question

    There is an address on the Protocol adapter that needs to be put into your app to make it work outside your home network. It's on the label and is XX-XX-XX ( I used X, you need to see what is printed on your PA. It should be inserted as follows (without the quotes) "Pentair: XX-XX-XX Hope...

    Pentair Screenlogic install

    Just install the Screenlogic, very easy. I had a small issue with accessing outside of my network but a call to Pentair cleared that up pretty quick. It's not the best home automation app going but it seems to work and does exactly what I needed it to do. I also connected it to my Amazon Echo...

    Pentair Screenlogic install

    That's great, I just ordered it, can't wait to get it going. Too many times I'm on my way home and wished I could get the spa going so it would be ready when I got home. The install is probably easier than I think.

    Pentair Screenlogic install

    I have the Pentair Easytouch with a wired indoor control panel. I would like to add the Screenlogic interface so I can control it from my iPhone. Is there a installation video of other instructions out there so I can see how to do the install before I buy it?

    bubbler nozzle tube

    I have a 6 month old pool with 2 Pentair bubblers on the 6" shelf. I noticed the other day that the nozzle seems to be deteriorating. They are very rough and sticky. I maintain the pool and am confident that the chemical balance is properly maintained (I use the practices and guidelines...
