This is an incredibly basic very old pool. One skimmer, two returns, plumbing level with pool. Nothing else other than the newly added IC-60.

Ok. Absorbing lots of info. I had extensively researched these pumps but was mostly focused on choices and configuration. And all my TFP reading was theoretical so it didn’t compute til I could see it in practice. Thanks for all the input and information. 50 GPM is almost 80% (per the app...

Turns out I was wrong about the programs. 50GPM and 20GPM (apologies to pool pro!). I backwashed (pressure had climbed from 12 to 22 in the two days since installed at pool opening). Dropped decibels to 72 so not much improvement.

I’m trying to upload video and being totally unsuccessful. Will have to go figure that out and then I’ll get some uploaded. (Says 3 mbs is too big)

My family would probably say yes 🤣 But this really is annoying. No way would anyone enjoy sitting around the pool listening to a vacuum cleaner for hours. Just for grins, I took my vacuum cleaner outside and checked the dbs. 75 right at it, just like the pump is 75 right tested right next...

I keep reading that these pumps are so quiet you have to touch them to know they’re running. Mine is 70db (via a couple different apps) and audible clearly from way over 100 feet away with a rather high pitched frequency. Sounds rather like a vacuum cleaner and is easily that loud. I’m...

Aaaand, of course! Post your problem and immediately figure it out. Turns out it was a setting, just not the BT off/on setting. It was the Privacy/Bluetooth/Pentair “switch”. I’m thinking it got turned it off when I initially installed the app and answered some questions about privacy —...

I wish I could get to that step!! My brand new Intelliflo3 vfs just keeps telling me to turn on my Bluetooth. My pool pro got connected; I can’t. Tried upgrading my iOS, too. Might have to go the good ole reboot route….pump, that is….to see if that encourages it to find my phone’s BT signal...

Thank you, everyone! Things are underway, with a VSF 3hp pump, an IC-60, power center, temperature sensor and an Intelleconnect. I suspect the VSF is a supply issue thing (as opposed to a VS) and since the cost seems to be comparable, I'm not gonna ask. I've been asking a lot! :) These are...

Another question - is the temp sensor required if you don't have a heater? I ask because in the heater section, the manual says: "Wiring a Heater or Heat Pump Water Temperature Sensor -- When connecting a heater to the IntelliConnect Control and Monitoring System, a water temperature sensor...

Thank you, everyone! Yes, Missouri... and, yes, my pool gets closed for the winter. And, Bill, that info is very helpful. I did the same.... called Pentair directly. I wonder if having to add the extras to the Intelliconnect (Power Center, temp sensor, ??) ends up pushing it into the...

Yeah... after I posted, I discovered the new way of doing profiles! My old "text" profile was gone :). It's been a while since I've posted!

I'm in desperate need of replacing my single speed pump on my very basic, 40 year old, concrete block pool. We have no intention of adding anything to this pool, as we'll be moving on from this house sometime in the next 10-12 years and just had the liner/walls redone. Signature below, but...

Thank you so much for responding. I've been trying to catch up with my husband to discuss all this some more. 1) Re: installing precast coping - We have absolutely no experience. I'm guessing the issue is installing the coping in a nice, flush, even manner. 2) Re: Decking possibly...

I'm hoping to gather opinions and ideas about the best way to proceed with our money pit, because we're getting closer to having our hand forced with a liner failure. I know this is a lot of info; I'd be ever so grateful for any input. We've been thinking about all this stuff for the past two...
