Thanks, miatawnt2b! I will definitely look at that as a next step... looks like it addresses many of the shortcomings of Pentair apps.

I got the WiFi adapter listed in post #1 without any power supply... then used this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089W19X1T?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details and cut off the plug and wired it into the power for the Intellitouch transformer. The Interface Adapter fit nicely below the...

I can confirm that I am finally free of Pentair wireless garbage... the solution above worked like a charm for $25, and just uses my existing WiFi network. Sorry, Pentair... not paying you another $250 for a third set of wireless boards that keep failing and you have no idea why... this WiFi...

So it looks like #1 (replace globrite with microbrite and adapter) is my only option... aside from taking a 200 lumen hit in brightness, am I just swapping one problem for another or are the microbrites actually more reliable and may be I will get more than 2 years before they fail????

Just checking back here to see what option was chosen and if you are happy with it? I have to replace my GloBrite for the third time... If I understand all of the above info, I have only these choices: 1) Replace with Globrite and keep handing Pentair more $ every 2-3 years. 2) Replace with...

Really glad to see this thread. I just ordered one of these adapters and an AC to USB power port that I can chop the end of off and wire-up inside the IntelliCenter cabinet. My only concern will be how much signal loss I get from the metal IntelliCenter cabinet. I have had nothing but...

I have gone through 3 Globrites and over 9 Bubbler lights (3 in pool replaced 3 times). First Globrite was dead on arrival. Second one cracked on the side. Third one I just saw failed when I opened pool this year and I have not removed it yet. It is on my shelf, which is now completely dark...

When I build my pool about 6 years ago, I ran an extra PVC line from pool wall to pad with proper slope to add an auto filler/leveler in the future. Now I wanted to go back and find one, but I cant find any information about a PVC pad based filler, and can't remember the name of the one I was...

It is a few years out of warranty. I will try calling them Monday to see if they will do anything. Thanks! The controller knows when communication with the IC is lost... so it could easily know that the Pool circuit is on, but there is no comm with IC and generate some kind of alert on that...

I have been having an issue for the last year with my IC unit where it just loses power randomly. I have the IntelliCenter with built in power supply for salt cell, and the 4-pin power connector J7, I suspect had a loose pin, that caused it to overheat and scorch the connector, and now is even...

Thanks, Herman... but that is an adhesive. For sealing my waterfall stone and grout joints I am looking for a sealer. Something that will not change the look but will give a water tight seal so no water seeps in. Is the StoneTech Salt Water Sealer any better than the 511 Impregnator...

I have a waterfall with flagstone on top, and long stone beam on the front face. The beam is mortared to the gunite frame behind it, rests on supports on both sides, and is oriented so looking down from top you can see the layers in the stone. I have a salt water pool, and when the waterfall...

I pulled the unit apart... one of the two motors in the motor pack does not turn... even with a wrench. Looks like new pack is $399. Anyone have an old one you want to get rid of? Or even just one of the Linix 63ZYC motors from inside the pack, if you have a pack with one failed also. Long...

I have been searching for info on servicing Dolphin M5, but surprisingly no info on here or YouTube about motor. My M5 is about 6 years old. Has worked perfectly until today. On the bottom, one side turns freely, the other side does not turn at all. Doing out of water test, the siphon fan...
