And 70 degrees today in the south - we need more pictures, please.

At $7K, you might be able to get the stairs replaced when you do the liner. That is what I was quoted to replace them last time I asked. I sure wouldn't try a repair for that kind of money if it was anywhere near the cost of new stairs.

Hello,
Does anyone know if the Jandy hydrocool P series lights will work as a replacement option in the pentair colorvision bubbler as well?

Nothing. It will probably be seen/read by the thread participants.

Again, we have 18 years of TFP threads and you are focusing on a tiny fraction of them. The overwhelming majority of those threads fit the description.

We read each and every post and all that is taken into consideration. Your helpful post to a relevant thread, with currently active members, will likely stay. The older the thread, the more earth shattering the new idea needs to be.

If its a 'me too' without any real help, it will me moved or deleted, no matter the age of the thread.

Nobody respected the 1 year suggestion so it became 6 months. Nobody respected that so it became 90 days. Nobody respected that, so it became 60 days. Nobody respects *that*........

In short. There was a need for the rule. As with any rule, there are exceptions. If the OP hasn't visited in 60 days, they likely won't see it. Many don't even return ever again.

The cover ripped as I was adjusting my pool cover pump, and my leg fell in. It's a safety hazard. Additionally, we open in May in NY and I received a good price for the new looploc, with upcoming tariffs and summer pricing, I wanted to avoid the risk of paying more at a later time.

The ice has melted.

Ended up getting all of the old removed, etched, rinsed, coated and colored. and then sealed for $ 3000 (just under $6/sq,ft. Crew was very detail oriented and left everything very clean. Looks great! I might have them clean, stain and seal my concrete patio next.

I guess I don’t really understand how the explanations provided apply to a post that doesn’t really fit into the stated explanations (ie, the downside consequences), referring to a post that isn’t hijacking, is otherwise pertinent, responsive, helpful and accurate . . . but simply happens to be past the 60 day time frame. After all, each of the stated downside consequences can occur with timely posts.

I guess I could have phrased my query better: if a thread started by someone on December 2nd, with the last post to that thread made on December 10th, what is it that makes a March 1st post likely to be unread or unseen? Parenthetically, does it still get elevated as a “new post” and thus becomes as available as a recent posts and threads, correct?

The foregoing is raised with my fully understanding and appreciating the efficacy, usefulness and housecleaning objectives of the mods in providing the 60 day admonition so as to to prod the reader to pose a question as a new thread and not glob onto one that is really dated. But just seems 60 days is a pretty short fuse IMO, particularly when the post is not a question but an elucidation (e.g., updating or correcting an older thread/post).

Edit: FWIW, admittedly, curiosity is a sometimes bothersome element of my nature

I don’t know of any way of reordering the equipment list, it lists the equipment in Auxiliary order.

You do not want to disturb ice in a liner pool. The sharp edges of the ice can tear the liner.

Leave the pool alone until all the ice is gone.

Why are you replacing the cover now when you will be opening the pool in a few weeks?

Welcome to TFP.

@PoolGate @MSchutzer can this be done?

Welcome to TFP.

What is displayed on your pump control panel when it will not turn on?

The pump control panel should show “Display Not Active”. If it does not then you have lost the RS-485 data link to the pump and probably Screenlogic.

Show us pictures of your EasyTouch panel with the panels open and showing the connection to the PCB in the upper panel.

Disconnect the Screenlogic antenna from the RS-485 connector and see if the pump then shows display not active. If so then your Screenlogic antenna has a problem.

Or disconnect the pump from RS-485 and see if Screenlogic works.

The guide mentions strong artificial light. Would 'Bright White' LED pot lights suffice?

No. It is a turbidity test and is reliant on high lux lighting. You want bright sunlight or even slightly overcast...print and read the article...

Very roughly speaking, direct overhead sunlight is around 100,000 lux, strong indirect light (i.e. shaded from the sun) is around 10,000 lux, an overcast sky is around 1000-5000 lux but varies on how overcast (which is why a bright white cloud overcast is still OK), indoors is usually < 1000 even in a bright kitchen or LED (more typically 500 lux).

Certainly in a pinch, use what you have. Since you are right at 30, doing it correctly will show you what 30 SHOULD look like.

Yes. Make sure you do it with strong sunlight.

What firmware version is your Intellicenter?

Update your panel to the latest 2.026 firmware on the Pentair website. See Pentair Automation Systems - Further Reading

As of November 2024, the Add New Account may be timing out and not letting you establish a new account to connect your panel to the Pentair servers. There are currently incompatibilities between the 1.064 firmware and the Pentair Server. To create a new account, try the following:

1. Download Pentair POOL app
2. Open Pentair POOL and insert your email and password into the app. Eight characters, such as Cap, lowercase, number, and at least one special character, are required for the password.
3. At the panel, Kill Intellicenter for >1 minute.
4. Check to see that the internet is present.
5. Go to the Portal and enter once again: Add New Account... even though you just established an account.
6. Enter the email and PW you established in the app.

Test your CYA so you get the visual on 30.

Switch to liquid chlorine.

This is the surge board for your SWG and has nothing to do with your Internet connection.


Does your panel pass the Internet Connection Test?

What do you h get when you select that?

Show me the screen.

You have setup problems and not not electrical problems.
