What is the distance from the light to the pad? While they supplied the 100' lights which the manual says require a 14v min feed, is it possible that the run is shorter but they still used the 14v feed off of the transformer? It may be as simple as switching to the 12v feed from the transformer...

The heliocol manual shows series is acceptable up to the max number of panels which is 10 for the HC-40. If setup with the right flow rate, the water will have a relatively low temp differential so you should be fine. The tilt setup is important for both drainage as well as to ensure that the...

there is an older thread with disassembly photos and repair method that a few of us have successfully utilized on these valves. Intellivalve Autopsy

I have found that for our area the standard filter works for finer dust and debris if you empty the basket between cleanings but dont rinse/clean it. figured this out by accident on a particularly lazy week lol

hi @MyAZPool , any further development on this? my system is approaching the 3yr warranty expiration and id love to be covered if they pull some pentair "only for those still covered by warranty " crud :eek:

i have had a SWGG since pool was new in 2021 - in our climate just do it!

With aiper there needs not be FOMO, there "limited " sales happen weekly!

Lots of great info, I figured I could count on this group! Not sure I'm up for a full laundry remodel to accommodate top loads but I'll have to think about it.

I believe my 20 yr old whirlpool duet washing machine has finally beat me ( it seems to be draining only when it wants to) Other than needing to relace a relay on the main board around 8yrs in and a warranty replacement of the tub at about 14yrs, it has been rock solid. I am inclined to go with...

Looks like the vent on the regulator is plumbed remotely via pvc - sneaking suspicion that some water got in there so the regulator cannot balance causing the pulsing

as a result of the flume and out of a desire to be able to check the pool auto fill water usage, I added a solenoid to the auto fill supply powered off my intellicenter and scheduled for 1 hour daily at a time that no other water "should be" in use. You could do similar off of your intelliflo3...

Howdy neighbor! our pool is ~half the size of yours and does not get full sun so not a direct comparison but, I run the VSP pump at @1200rpm (which is quiet and costs very little) 24hrs a day. Spa spillover runs 3x per day for 15m. I try and keep the CYA ~70 and tend to #teamrunhot on the FC...

It seems the aiper products have about a 6 month price halflife whereby within 6 months of release they can be had on amazon or their own site for half of the original list. The seagull pro was 999 at release but they now have a limited special...weekly, at 554 🤬. As such, I will also refrain...

If the tankless is installed correctly, you wouldnt see the condensate (if it's not installed correctly you wont see it till it's too late and will be replacing a tankless due to heat exchanger leak over Christmas break like me 🤬)

Gas line could be easily re-routed up an over the exhaust. Replace the elbow coming off the gas pipe out of the concrete with a coupler, add what looks like ~18" nipple to elevate the run over the exhaust. Run horizontal over the exhaust, 90 down to the union, tee connected to the unit and...
