Unfortunately it looks like it also requires a HP9 upgrade. But I may be wrong.

Thanks @pjt Very helpful! How old is your heat pump and do you know the processor on it? Or alternatively the number of buttons on the display? Looks like 5 based on pics... Reason for asking is because I have been trading messages with Aquacal and here is their latest answer: "the Pentair...

Thanks for the help and prompt answer. I have reached out to Aquacal and waiting to hear back. I have read the previous posts and it is still not clear where to connect the Aquacal on the Intellicenter motherboard. It seems clear that this is not one of the two RS-485 ports. But one person says...

I have a Aquacal heat pump model 166ARDSBNP (heater and chiller) that I would like to control via my recently installed Pentair IntelliCenter. With my previous Intellitouch, I had been told cooling was not supported in intellitouch. Pentair recently told me that both heating and cooling are...

Quick update. After a few days of SLAM, it looks like you were right and I got over the issue. I also replaced my filter cartridges (overdue). As a result, my SWG flow light turns green with 1150 RPM (vs. 3100+ before!) and the pool looks perfect. I am doing one more OCLT tonight before adding...

Thanks Jim. Would it make sense to change my filter cartridges now or at the end of SLAM? It is a pain to clean filter and trying to minimize times :-) I have four brand new filters ready to go in. Just waiting for the right time and sequence.

Quick update: - ran OCLT and loss was not completely clear but possible. I have decided to run a SLAM and am in the middle of it. It had been a few years and I had forgotten the joys of it ;-) Started last night and monitoring/adjusting regularly. - I will swap cartridges this week once SLAM is...

you guys are great! I am not right by the pool but will be later tonight and tomorrow and can check above recommendations. Really helpful suggestion for pump check. Did not know. Was thinking of doing a SLAM to address algae question. Still better done with Bleach or ok to use Dichlor as bleach...

Pressure has not changed. Cleaning the filter made a small difference. I thought it was sorted out but day after day, I had to increase pump speed to remove red light. In the past, I would need min 1500-1800 to get light green. In the past few months, it has gradually gone up. To even needing to...

Seems like I’m losing about 0.3ppm per 8 hours with pool covered and pump running.

Thanks Marty. I will. However can you take me through how this would impact my SWG low flow problem? Could it impact flow/pressure? Thanks again.

Thanks Marty. FC 2.0, pH 7.6, TA 55, CH 300, CYA 45, Salt 3200

Over the past several weeks, I have had to gradually increase the number of RPM of my Pentair VSP pump from 1600 to 3,000 to avoid the dreaded low flow red led on my Pentair SWG. It has now got to the point where I can't even turn it back to green. I have cleaned the SWG unit (the unit is only...

Thank you both for the help. The question now is where I can buy this SKU over the phone now (stock) and how to find a qualified installer in Atlanta that would install it. I understand that companies want to support their installers (and completely support it). But there are cases where...

I need to fix the board of my Intellitouch and as a result thinking of replacing my Intellitouch with the Intellicenter (using Pentair 522047 upgrade kit). I am quite handy and do most of these activities myself. I am planning to install the kit myself and have a couple of quick questions: -...
