Yes, I mean intellicenter. I didn't look up the specific part name, I just knew it was wifi capable. I come from a house that had the Compool.

Hello all, We're planning on building a pool in our home and I've had experience owning a pool, just not spec'ing in hardware. Our pool plan is as follows: About 20,000 gallons with spa with six jets Looking at one, maybe two water features. This would be a sheer descent rain pattern. Pentair...

Hey all, It's been a while since I've been on this forum because we sold our last house with a pool. We're planning to build one for the new house. In our old place, the heated water came out of one of the three waterfall features we had. A plumber that worked with a friend of ours did not...

This happened to my pool when my spa valve would not automatically return back to its previous state after I switched to the pool circulation. That isn't the clearest explanation but basically one of your valves isn't being returned to the correct position to allow for the pool to circulate...

I have a 1.5hp WhisperFlo 2-spd on my 15,000 gallon pool with a spillover from the spa. I also have three waterfalls that don't always have to be on. Chris

I'd have to agree with Jimrahbe. If you have any sort of technical background, then reading the Easytouch manual should be very easy to understand and give you a good understanding of your options. I had the same dilemma as you, only I have a Compool, which is the predecessor of the Easytouch...

So I got around to fixing my pump yesterday. I actually only changed the rear half of my old single speed to a 2-speed. I also added a union to the discharge side aND left the suction side alone. After I completed the install it was taking in air when I turned it on. I spent the next couple...

Found a decent deal on new 2-spd whisperflo. I would have changed the motor but my wife insisted on a new one. Thank you for all the advice. Next up...replacing the old pump. Chris

The output goes to a hose bib and then to the DE filter. Chris

I need to take care of a leak on the outlet side of the pump. I figured I should replace the pump anyway. I will look into a new 2-spd motor and so I have minimal plumbing to modify. Chris

Hey guys, I wanted to get some input on where I should cut to remove the existing pump. I've attached some images for reference. Is there any way to retain the old pipes? I will be replacing the existing single speed with a 2-speed pump and relay kit in the control panel. If I can't keep...

The pump basket is not deformed. The filter pressue went back to normal after priming which is around 20 psi. Chris

Alright. I updated my "About Me" page. 25,000G pool, Pentair pumps and DE filter. I think the lowest it got last night was 36 degrees F. The frost was likely non-existent. I'll head out now to check the other pipes. The pipe on the return right at the pump started to leak just a little so...

Since it's now winter, I've reduced the time that my pump runs. Today, after an overnight frost advisory, the pump was on and suddenly I hear a gush of water and I come out to a stream of water about 20 feet in the air. I manage to turn off the pump and realize the hose bib had come off. Now...
