Moved from here... Pentair iCHLOR - Page 2 Hi, I have a question to clarify the iCHLOR standalone mode. Will I need the PC110 power center in order to wire the ichlor to my intelliflo or will the PC100 work? If the PC100 works do I just strip the connector on the COM cable and screw it to...

charbaugh, did you ever resolve the situation? I have a new setup and am experiencing the same 'com link error' shown on the intellitouch display. The salt cell itself does who it is on and working but the intellitouch does not seem to be able to read it.

Quick update - I did install both and both solutions work. Not surprisingly, both have their advantages / disadvantages. Skimdr. seems to be able to create more suction and a stronger swirl effect with the movable opening. It also fits my skimmer much better. The downside is that cleaning it...

Thanks a ton for the thorough comparions, @MyAZPool. I will call my contractor Monday morning. I did call a couple of pool equipment warehouses and while they had the i10+3 in stock they had not even heard about the IntelliCenter. I totally agree that I won't need the automation week one but...

The plaster date is set for the week after next (krystalkrete) and that means I have to have the equipment installed and running by then. Also, I have renters soon after so the project has to land in the next 3 weeks which gives little wiggle room. I wasn't able to find a version of this item...

Again, many thanks for the clarification, again! To be precise about pool and spa I have pool and spa with 2 independent sets of equipment and both will need to run at the same time. The pool has a vanishing edge so the pump needs to be running during the day. If I want to use the spa at the...

I am intrigued. Looking at the manual it seems like I would need the i10D personality kit. I cannot find any pricing on this. One caveat - I need to purchase this equipment sometime next week (Sept. 24-28) as it will need to be installed the week after. Not sure how readily available this...

This is an awesome tip. Thanks much - it actually sounds like the best solution given that the MobileTouch2 reviews are pretty bad and it seems like a nightmare to try to distinguish them. I browsed through the IntelliTouch pool and spa control system user guide but it states that the iLink...

Kudos for clarifying! One more question - the Screenlogic II comes with an antenna. Will I need a second (different) antenna for the MobileTouch or will the Screenlogic antenna suffice?

Jimrahbe, the system is for our vacation property that we also rent out. While I will be using my phone I don't want to give guests access to the mobile app but rather provide a wireless remote to operate pool, spa and lights. Wireless b/c I don't want to have to put conduit throughout my...

I got a skimdoctor2 a couple of days back and installed it. It certainly is creating the desired swirl effect inside the skimmer but it is too early to tell if the skimming is improved. I will receive the skim-around today or tomorrow so I can compare the 2 solutions. So far Skimdoctor seems...

I know many of you own a wireless controller for their Pentair setup so I wanted to ask if somebody can help me understand the difference between the Pentair Mobiletouch (#520340) and Mobiletouch 2 (#520906). I am getting a Pentair Intellitouch i5+3 installed with screenlogic2 and while a...

Update on MySutro: I have been trying to get an answer from their twitter account and from Ravi himself via email but <crickets>. After pre-ordering almost 2 years back it more and more looks like the device is not going to happen. Last year they would at least still keep people posted but by...

I just learned about Sutro and the little detail there is on TechCrunch. If I understand the premise correctly the system should work with the BBB method. Any word from Ravi if the BBB method is encouraged/supported and if they have a subscription for BBB? Additionally, does anybody have...

I did leave the remote close to the battery pack. but the fact that the robot immediately starts tells me it is not the remote sending the signal. Also, all remotes - the original and the pro model - switch off after a few minutes of inactivity. One difference I noticed between the original...
