The Screenlogic stuff is claimed to be new in box. Box P/Ns show 520500 and 522620. From what I can tell this combo is what I want? Agree? https://sunplay.com/products/pentair-screenlogic-interface-kit-520500 https://sunplay.com/products/pentair-screenlogic-wireless-connection-kit-522620...

Jim, can you help explain what a "schedule" is? I've never used automation before. Sounds like each on/off that you want to happen at a scheduled time constitutes one schedule. So turn pump on X speed in morning, then lower to Y speed at night, every day. That's two schedules? I'm trying to...

Well you just gave me quite the "ah-ha" moment as I for the first time considered what that octagon sticking out was. So I assume that's the line from the drain, which has been capped since I've owned the pool (few years). Which means that drain has never been active, from what I can tell pool...

There's only two options at the pad for water coming from pool, one side of valve comes from pool, the other from Spa. So I'd say it's plumbed to the skimmer. I've always assumed that drain was working but now that you mention it I can't say I've noticed leaves getting stuck to the drain like I...

Appreciate the reply. 12 schedules sure seems like enough and it's not clear to me what additional features I'd want to add in the future (although of course nobody can predict future). I'd still have open relays with the ET8. Not discounting your comments at all, just talking through why it...

Thanks for the reply. This is what I was looking for. The light switch is at the pad. Right now I never use the light cause I gotta walk over there to flip it on. I think just being able to turn it on from phone would be great. I'm thinking I'll just leave what's there and not mess with the LED...

There's some return that comes from spa spillover, but yes, circulation isn't great on this old pool, but not something I'm going to pull up decking to add. Haven't had any issues keeping it clean and clear so far. I've been so happy not brushing since getting the Dolphin... I can probably live...

Adding a SWG and automation. Been reading the forums and thought I knew what I wanted but recently came across a post that made me question that. I had been planning on getting the EasyTouch8 and IC60 combo and adding Screen Logic: Pentair EasyTouch 8SC-IC60 521150 | PoolSupply4Less That looks...

We're replastering/retiling the pool and adding some structural features (bench, tanning ledge). We're also adding an EasyTouch system to control a new SWG, VS pump, etc. PB suggested replacing the old light we have with LEDs that can change colors. I'm thinking this would be an Intellibrite 5G...

I'm looking to pull the trigger on an overdue pool remodel. As part of a re-plaster we're going to add some structural elements. Photo below shows a bench we'll add from the spa and along side of pool in red. We're considering adding a tanning ledge in purple. The pool is old and only has three...

I appreciate everyone's concern. I assure you I'm more than comfortable removing the cover of the electrical panel. I understand the need for caution and respect the advice given here. I'll have someone come out and look at it. In the meantime I need to get a better understanding of what...
