    Closing with a cyclone and not lowering the water level.

    So the time you are saving by not lowering the water at closing will be used up to pump water out of the pool during the winter as you said it is full by spring from rain/snow??. I would rather lower now and let it slowly creep up over winter than worry about siphoning water out during cold...

    Thoughts on waterfall wall, spa height, spillover placement, pumps

    I will say that we also have a raised spa on the house side of the pool and the one regret I have is that I cannot see on the other side of it. So with any kids / small kids you never know what is happening behind that wall if sitting on deck or in the house looking out. Or if people are in...

    Intellibrite stopped working (both lights)

    There are in line fuses for the Intellibrite lights themselves (but normally these shouldn't break). I also think there are small circuit board fuses in the controllers themselves. See post --> 12V Pentair Intellibrite 5G light Controller Wiring trouble Same thing happened to me though. Both...

    Pentair MASTERTEMP weird burner cycling

    Same thing happened to my Mastertemp 300. No error codes, everything tested out OK, but kept cycling around 80-90 degrees. See my thread --> Mastertemp 300 - SOLVED! - Cycling - Maybe it will help? Ended up being a rusted tube sheet. Replaced it and now works fine.

    Setting schedules on my Intelliflo

    Also remember a speed cannot be programmed with the same start and stop times. To run a speed without stopping, set the Start time one minute after the stop time.

    Setting schedules on my Intelliflo

    Speeds 1-4 (at least on mine) are set for any manual speeds you may want. 5-8 are setup for schedules, but 1-8 can be setup as "scheduled". Make sure the speeds are programmed as scheduled not manual. If you select a speed 1-4 and then hit start/stop it will run that speed manually. If you...

    Setting schedules on my Intelliflo

    Is the Start/Stop button selected on the panel. If you created a schedule you still need to make sure the pump is in "start" mode to run the schedules.

    Mastertemp 300 - SOLVED! - Cycling -

    I ran it multiple times with it cycling and never saw any LED's. Even replaced the control board and still no LED's came on. It seems to be fixed though so I'll go with it. But like you I wish I would of seen an LED and then replaced the heat exchanger and saw it go away. There was quite a...

    Mastertemp 300 - SOLVED! - Cycling -

    Been fighting a cycling Mastertemp 300 heater for most of the summer season. It would start to cycle once the temperature would reach around 88 degrees, cycle again and then eventually the service heater light would come on. This would occur when heating the spa or pool. So I: 1. Checked...
