    Pentair ScreenLogic stopped working

    The mac OS X version of the “patcher” contains all the boot loader tools, and the base “image” called pool.bin, to return a bricked Protocol Adapter to a usable state so it can then be patched with the normal updater. You cannot access these on the windows EXE updater tool because it’s compiled...

    Pentair ScreenLogic stopped working

    I know this thread is old, but i’m posting in case anyone else comes across this in their search for a solution. If you have somehow bricked your protocol adapter (network interface) box, and when connecting the update tool says something like RAM LOADER (IP address) , or you otherwise cannot...

    Our final design in North Texas (outside DFW)

    Update on Status Anyone who watched the news, knows we have had biblical rain here in North Texas since late march. In fact, I think it stopped raining all of 4-days in all of April. And May is working on a record month as well. Thus, our 6-7 week build is likely going to be 10...

    Anyone not doing a pebble finish

    We didn't. We went to the Builder's reference list, and emailed / called a few recent customers who did both Pebble_Sheen, or Quartz. We both prefer both the feel, and the color of the quartz. Our pool is full sun, from 11:00 am, on out and the color is fantastic. I think like anything...

    Easytouch 4 capacity, vs. 8

    Thanks JL, Really good feedback. Question on the Pump relay though. I thought the Intelliflow VS was powered directly off the 240V breaker, and then a control cable ran from the ET4 to the pump to control the cycles / circuits. Thus, not needing to use the Pump Relay. (e.g. it is always...

    Easytouch 4 capacity, vs. 8

    Does anyone run the EasyTouch 4 ? Specifically with Spa + Pool What all are you controlling with it ? Just the standard type stuff, Main Filter Pump, Spa/Pool mode valves, and Heater, with the Light ? Curious if anyone has the EasyTouch 4, and has found they'd really like the 8. I'm weighing...

    What's crackin'

    Hey y'all. not willing to rest on ceremony, I've decided to post an official, gratuitous purely self serving "here I am" introduction thread. Glad to see everyone so willing to pitch in on any topic. And before you ask the most important question, YES, I'm going to put my discount to use on...

    Intellitouch layout / design

    Perfect, that's exactly the kind of clarification I needed. So it sounds like to me, the ultimate best option will be to have them go ahead and install the load center at the onset, that way all the wiring is already terminated where it would need to be, and then in a couple seasons when I get...

    Intellitouch layout / design

    Thanks JL. That's what I really thought, but haven't been able to get close enough to someone's pad, with an automation system to see how the cabling and current flows. I had assumed, when you retrofit, you just yank the cross connections and switches out of the typical junction / power box...

    coping choices

    We evaluated cost / return and travertine is pretty expensive, unless you're already doing a very expensive deck and pool, in which case it's relative. we evaluated flagstone vs. brick vs. manufactured bullnose stone (concrete product.). In the end we chose to concrete product due to it's...
