Thanks for the reply. I went with the Amerilite and an LED bulb. It's working well.

Hoping someone can help me confirm my light testing, which I think is indicating a bad transformer. My Pentair Intellibrite 5G stopped working after 7 years (from what I've been reading here the past couple of days, that's better than par). It's the 120v version that has the step down...

Got it. Thanks for all the help here.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I'll probably install a transformer so I can use a relay. I have some questions about that, but will pose them in the thread about that modification instead of here. Would you be concerned about the aux port being always on now?

It's an i10PS (see pics). Thanks for the tip. I test it as you say (see pic). I have a couple aux ports free, so tried it using Aux 9. Aux 9 shows 26 volts when I turn it on, but it also did not move the valve. Worse, Aux9 is now stuck on. It is powered with 26 volts even when I toggle it...

Aux 7 shows no voltage when turned on. "Turned on" means assinging a circuit to Aux 7 and toggling it on in the app. There is stray voltage of 400-500 mv, which does not vary with turning it on. I tested another aux connector -- aux 3 used for the pool lights -- and it shows 26v when turned on.

It's about a 10 foot run. That's a bit shorter than the run to the actuated valves and the pumps. Attached is a pic of the board. I don't think there's much to see here, but if you spot something, happy to hear about it. Note that the Aux 7 connector is not plugged in in this picture.

I don't know what the Aux 7 "relay" is. No relay in the power panel was being used. Other than that, all correct. It was installed by the pool builder in 2017 -- an established builder that has been in the business for decades. #1, I am reading no power when I "turn on" aux 7. That was why...

You're right Jim, it does appear this one is 24VAC (always thought the sprinkler valves were run from controllers ouputting DC). What aux relay are you referring to? I installed the upgrade, no they involved. The Easytouch connected to this same valve using connector J15/aux7. I marked the...

I've been studying for a month and can't manage a few basic things with my new Intellicenter (upgraded from Easytouch). First among them is my fill valve. The valve is a basic 24v sprinkler valve that was installed by the pool builder with the Easytouch. I thought I would simply connect the...
