    Post pool equipment reno with before and after photos

    ajw22 That is something I figured out towards the end of that part of the build. The good thing is it doesn’t leak now and really it would be pretty easy to replace with schedule 40 if/when I need to fix any section. Good eye... I was going to mention that in my lessons learned but I was...

    Having Pentair equipment "Work Together" without automation

    I wanted to provide a quick update after installing and using the IntelliConnect for a bit. Overall I'm pretty happy with the IntelliConnect decision.

    Having Pentair equipment "Work Together" without automation

    Thanks for the additional feedback! I'm pretty excited to see how it works out. The fun part of DIY is seeing if all the crazy ideas work out. I was thinking I would use one of the relays for the UV light. In the future, I was thinking of getting an Intellibrite 5g color LED pool light which...

    Having Pentair equipment "Work Together" without automation

    A quick update to my TFP friends. There is really two options I'm looking at. 1. A standard pool (intermatic) timer 2. The Pentair IntelliConnect (Review thread in TFP) Right now I'm leaning toward the IntelliConnect. I was able to find an IntelliConnect for less than $250 to my doorstep w/...

    Having Pentair equipment "Work Together" without automation

    Jim: Thanks for the reply. I was thinking of picking up and external timer, although it would be nice to just use the timer on the pump. That being said, I could hook it up to a separate timer without issue. Regarding the UV, I did a lot of research on TFP before I picked it up. Actually I...

    Advice for the reno of my indoor pool equipment

    Rolercoastr Glad to have another indoor individual on here! That would be the only thing I have been missing a bit on TFP... more indoor advice! Capacity.... I think you are correct and I dropped a 1 when I did my calculation. I must have calculated 6.8' across verses 16.8 feet. With that...

    Advice for the reno of my indoor pool equipment

    Jim: Thanks for pointing me to the threads on IntelliCenter... very helpful. I still think I'm going way overboard with the automation either way... but why not have some fun myself. The family has fun in the pool, I have fun figuring out how to make the pool work and tinker with toys...
