Thank you ajw22. Good point on the new lights. I wasn't aware when they had actually been updated.

Has anyone installed the latest design of the Pentair Globrites (grey body instead of black body) and can attest as to whether they last longer than the previous version that is prone to water infiltration? Additionally, I'm thinking about replacing my failed light with the option below but...

It appears condensation/water worked its way under the IC40 panel an eventually shorted something. I have the IC40 paired to an Intellicenter. Am I stuck getting another intellichlor unit or are there other alternatives that will work with the Intellicenter? I got barely 2- years out of the...

I have “therapy jets” on our pool that are never used, and I would like to cover the air intake pipes with something more aesthetic. The pipes are 1-inch pvc that are almost flush with our travertine (see pic). I’m envisioning something that looks like a flat mushroom, with a shaft that will...

Awesome! Thx Allen!

Can someone tell me the Pentair stepdown transformer PN I will need to power two 12VAC globrite lights? I will be hooking these lights to the same aux. relay to operate in sync with each other. Additionally, is this how it would be wired (see below)? And can the additional transformer be...

Thank you. My PB quoted a 30K cell and my pool is about 11,000 to 13,000 gallons. I haven't discussed the 20K SG with him yet, so he'd likely tell me to just get the IC40.

HA! What timing. I've been spending the last hour researching the Intellicenter. A little more expensive than the Easy Touch and doesn't appear to come standard with the IC20, but no need for screen logic and from what I understand with salt generators, the bigger the better, so the IC40...

Thx for the comments Joyful Noise. My PB subcontracts the electrical work and his guy is used to doing automation, just not necessarily for my PB. When I mentioned Easy Touch to my PB he was very familiar with it and Screen Logic, I just don't think many of his clients opt for it. I hear ya on...

Thank you for all the replies. So even with the ET 8, you're only able to control two valves? Hmm. Guess I shouldn't be too disappointed seeing as a week ago I didn't know any of this stuff existed. What prompted me was our PB telling me we'd have several boxes on the wall at the pad site. I...

Sorry if this has been asked a million times. I read some other threads and still don't quite understand which Easy Touch unit will be right for my situation. Pool Details New Construction <20k gallons No Spa No Heater and likely to never add one 6 Hayward 2-way valves at the equipment pad...
