Ok, thanks. Yeah, sounds like an older model. Seems like the latest model is not as deep...I just don't know if it will actually fit. Might have to just stick with the Hayward to play it safe.

Thanks for the info. Based on that image, I definitely would have no choice but to stick with the Hayward...but I found different dimensions for it on a few retail sites selling them. Several sites are showing this: According to one of the sites, the specs above are for: "Pentair...

Hi all, I have Hayward ColorLogic 12v lights in my pool (model number LPCUS11100) but would like to replace them with Pentair IntelliBrite lights, as I have Pentair EasyTouch and when I switched to Pentair the installer misadvised me when I asked him if I would lose any functionality as far as...

Yeah, I have that feeling too...it's just a bummer because we barely use the lights...we probably use them like twice a year...my wife wants me to just leave it be and not replace it since the other lights are working and it's like $1,000 for a new light...I'm sure I'll end up buying it though...

Hi all, I have a Hayward ColorLogic 12v LED light in my pool that has stopped turning on. It was blinking a few days ago and now it just won't turn on. I have two other lights (originating from the same circuit) and they are working fine. I checked the GFCI and the circuit, and neither are...

Yeah, I'm going to drain...going to try draining at least half of the water as I'm nervous to empty the entire pool with how much rain we've been getting (avoiding the pool popping out of the ground). I've continued shocking the past couple of days and am going through a lot of chlorine and...

Thanks for the links. Based on what's being said in there, it looks like I need to SLAM until the FC and CC start to get into normal range, right? My current levels are: FC: 0 CC: 14 (it's elevated because I was SLAMing to get rid of the algae I mentioned) CYA: 35 (I know this is low for a...

Hi all, I had a stain that I couldn't remove from my pool wall, and after doing a Jack's Magic Stain ID test I determined that a Jack's Magic "O2 Safe Shock & Stain Solution #2 Treatment" should work. I went ahead and did the treatment about 10 weeks ago. Oh boy am I regretting it! The...

Nope. I'm at 11 weeks and I'm still not getting normal FC readings. I last reached out to Jack's Magic a couple of weeks ago and they said I should keep waiting. They sort of had an attitude and asked why I even care about not getting FC readings and that getting the TC should be good enough...

I figured it out - one of the Jandy Valve Actuators isn't working. It's stuck on spa mode. I have a feeling it's related to the IntelliFlo installation, as they wired it incorrectly at first. I have a feeling they messed something else up int he EasyTouch and that the valve actuator isn't...

Hi Marty, I do like the spa spillover. Thanks for the info regarding it. My concern is just whether I should increase the IntelliFlo RPM setting if I am not feeling flow from the pool returns (despite having good flow from the spa returns and the spillover).

Hi all, I recently had an IntelliFlo installed. The installer set the pump to run at 2500 RPM when the system is in pool mode. In that mode, the spa's spillway is active and flows the water from the spa to the pool. However, I cannot feel any water flow coming from the pool returns. I can...

Update: The service manager came today and saw that the tech that installed the pump wired it wrong. He fixed the wiring and everything is working now.

Hi Jim, Thanks again for all your detailed information! I reached out to the company that installed it and the owner was embarrassed (as he should be). He couldn't believe his tech told me that they don't handle the automation aspect, and that the tech didn't correctly fix other issues. He...

Jim, Thanks so much for all the details. The EasyTouch screen says "NO COMM" when going to the IntelliFlo status. As far as the EasyTouch not communicating with the IntelliFlo goes, am I correct that if they were properly wired that the EasyTouch would automatically take over as long as I...

Hi Jim, Thanks for the reply. In that case, the pump is definitely being controlled by the pump's control panel, as it seems to have such a display currently (not just a "Display Not Active" message). That doesn't surprise me since the tech that installed it didn't know what I was talking...

Hi all, I just had a IntelliFlo VSF pump installed. Even though the company I hired is listed as authorized on the Pentair web site, the installer told me he doesn't know how to set up the IntelliFlo in ScreenLogic. He did set it up on the pump itself. Of course, I know I can call the...

I reached back out to Jack's Magic and they said I just have to wait for the nitrogen to go down naturally, and they don't have a recommended way to measure it. I was hoping to at least get an idea of how high the levels are so that I can decide if I want to drain the pool and refill. I...

Yes, that's what I meant. Sorry for the lack of proper terminology.

Yes...I just had it at that level over the past day (but have been shocking for about a week overall)...I didn't explain that clearly - thanks for checking!

Hi all. It's been 7 weeks since I did this treatment and I'm still getting false FC readings. I'm also having issues with algae. I've been shocking for almost a week (following the recommended yellow mustard algae levels), but I'm still getting some staining each day. Nothing crazy, but...

Hi all, My Jandy DEV60 filter has a slide valve. I was backwashing this evening and when I tried to put the valve back into it's filter (down) position, the handle kept rotating (it didn't stop like normal). I then noticed that the valve is able to slide all the way up and down, and rotate...

Hi all, I did the Jack's Magic "O2 Safe Shock & Stain Solution #2 Treatment." In the instructions, it says that the treatment can produce false FC readings for 3-4 weeks and that I should use the TC readings during that time. I'm fine with this, but want to make sure I'm doing this right...

Yes, I bypassed the heater. I redid the plumbing last year in anticipation of this treatment. No, I don't have groundwater issues. Bummer regarding having to drain the water - is there any concern I should have as far as the pool popping out of the ground? Would that just apply if the soil...

Hi all, Using the Jack's Magic stain ID kit, I identified that their "O2 & Stain #2 Treatment" will (hopefully) remove staining I have in my pool. I started the treatment yesterday. It was a very large amount of chemicals to add to the water (you can view the chemicals involved here). I want...

Thanks for the info! I took a look, and I'm pretty handy, but chipping down the plaster myself makes me worried. The cracks are very thin, but probably about a third of the circumference of the spa bench has the cracking. I have a feeling a pool renovation company won't want a job this small...

Ok, thanks! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking something.
