    Recommended Pool & Door alarms

    Are you planning to keep these on your doors and windows as a legit safe-guard for pool area entry? or are you just needing to pass inspection. I ask because I have a bunch available....

    Thinking of getting a Heater/Chiller combo

    Screen and water depth play a big part in your temperature. Also, how much direct sun is a concern (but remember, the screen cuts out some sun). I am in South Florida and have about 26000 gallon pool, that gets blasted with sunlight from 10am to 7pm. Without the chiller the pool is hitting 90 as...

    Late to the Party, New Build in Progress in NC

    What did they ever do for the in pool table top.... I saw they poured the pedistal (I assume out of 12" silo tube)......but I see no re-bar stubbed up? Did they tie the pedestal in with the shell? What are their plans for a top?

    More Intellicenter Issues - Maybe someone has same issues???

    Sorry for confusion, This should all be pre programmed by the system after you tell it the temperatures you want to achieve. It will (in my case) switch from heat pump to gas heater when it feels the heat pump is not performing efficiantly(I havent seen this actually work yet). So if i was to...

    More Intellicenter Issues - Maybe someone has same issues???

    The way the Intellicenter is designed is for fully automated heater function. You tell it - keep my pool temperature at 87 degrees. No matter how it has to do that (by heating or chilling), it should be fully automated. And I don't think it it just the push of a button like you...

    More Intellicenter Issues - Maybe someone has same issues???

    I believe there is some way for a valve delay...........and a heater cool down program already built in to the program......but no way of making it work the way they have it set up

    More Intellicenter Issues - Maybe someone has same issues???

    @MyAZPool and all other Pentair Intellicenter and Heater Users So, you buy this over priced automation system........expecting it to "run the world"...... and in reality it has major issues and bugs. One bug in particular is this: I have a heater bypass valve with an intellivalve hooked up...

    Pebble tec , pebble sheen, or plaster

    Here is a sound piece of advice on pool finishes.......... Budget for it early - know what you want before you get to the end of project. I say this because the pool finish is the last thing to be done in the pool build....... and that usually equals "NO MONEY LEFT"!!!!! So if you think you...

    How can I avoid this? Spa bubbling over egdes

    Jorge, your blower is too powerful for your system - you need to divert some of the air going to the jets. Cheapest way.....make cuts in the 2" pipe going to the jets until desired mixture of air and water is achieved. Best way....Add a 3 way valve on the pipe below the blower. Add a section...

    New Build - Dallas Area

    Plug all 3 now to prevent damage to threads (the 2 for pump should of already been plugged and system should be under pressure)........ gunite crew should leave a couple of holes in floor and walls, as relief (most companies in South Florida will not shoot a pool without them). When finish crew...

    Intellicenter losing connectivity with VSF and IC40

    Is it consistent on when it shuts down? Is it random, is it every 2 hours, etc.... I ask to rule out that there is possibly an egg timer setting????
