We have a new pool build with the Intelliflo3 VSF and the outdoor Easytouch Control System. My pool guy asked me to kick up the speed of the pump for the “Quick Clean” cycle (he’s not familiar with Easytouch), but the Pentair Home app has the controlled by automation message. I don’t have a...

Starting a new thread as the one I'd posted last year was more focused on the pool build, and this is a more theoretical question. We're very happy w/ the landscape designer and what he came up with (it's a side hustle of his), and our contractor did a great job on our remodel a few years...

Hi TFP – been years since I was active here but it’s time to re-engage. We thought we were going to start our backyard update/pool remodel this spring, but between the ‘rona and losing time on the initial plans we need to wait until after this season to do it. Bummed on one hand, but the good...

We've gone over 12 years without a pool heater (didn't work when we bought the house and I never fixed it), but we're finally ready to bite the bullet. The rub is that we're going to do a refresh of the pool next year (basically new anything visible to the eye, possibly add a baja shelf, but...

Background on the pool - it's old and the plaster is going in various places, but I'm hoping to get another season or two out of it (I've been saying that for years). We purchased the house in 2008 and at that time the guy at Leslie's was telling me our levels were high and that we should...

House was built in 1978...we bought in 2008. I believe this is the original pool and doubt it was ever resurfaced. I like the shape, except for when I'm manhandling the cover, but it is absolutely beat looking. 8 feet deep (no longer legal in CA) and still have a diving board. I've never...

For a while I've been wanting to replaster our pool and replace the tile. The pool is roughly a kidney bean shape measuring about 20x40. Approx. 3 feet in the shallow end and 8 feet in the deep end. I'm estimating about 1000 sq. feet of surface area. I had a guy out the other day who quoted...

Hi all, I have a few questions that I couldn't find answers to in one post so I'm starting a new one. I'm sure there is information somewhere in the depths of this site, but unfortunately I couldn't find it. A few years back I replaced my old pool pump with a variable speed Intelliflo - that...

Yesterday I had my Intelliflo VF installed. The installer hadn't programmed one before, so I gave it a go after he left. IIRC I set the pool size at 31k gallons and the run time at 22 hours. This equates to approx. 25gpm and 150 watts (eureka!). I did set function 3 to run for 30 minutes at...
