Interesting read. Adding here for my own posterity! :) https://docplayer.net/23759822-Cyanuric-acid-it-controls-your-pool.html

Sun hits pool about 11am until sundown, but maybe it's not as direct as I think because I'm missing morning sun. On a day like today (mid 60s overnight and 100 in the day) the pool starts at about 77 degrees in AM and I expect the pool will get about 83-84 degrees by 3-4pm (medium blue pebble...

Hi TFP -- first month with new owner-build pool, and first month as a pool owner in general I'm testing pool daily (CH/PH), mostly so I have a feel for the rhythm. I have the Taylor k-2005, but recently complemented the kit with the FAS-DPD test to kind of verify my ability to decipher the FAS...

Ah! Thank for that correction!

Ok after some contemplation… and separately figuring out our spillover mode, I have decided that my question is not typical for a swim session. After some additional research I think I have a better grasp on the two intelliflo valves. Basically there is valve a and b, and both are set for pool...

Great. Just making sure that was normal!

The equipment set installer setup our intelllicenter panel with pool and spa mode which I think is pretty typical. The spa spillover is at water height. We have shared equipment and two intellivalvws which regulate intake and return to pool and spa. We also have a dedicated pump for spa jets...

Hello. Brand new pool just finished (owner build). We just got our spa jets hooked in and noticed a gurgling sound at the equipment pad. Enough to notice while in the spa about 60 feet away. Pentair vsf running at 2500 in this video: Is this a normal sound? Can it be reduced?

BTW... I agree with the comment that rstrouse shared about wiring panels with CAT6 cable as a standard. I'm now kicking myself having heard this point, post-install. I would've been happy to run another 1/2" conduit to in the same trench to accept a data cable. The trenches all terminated at my...

Thanks for this added clarification on the behavior of the IntelliCenter and the local server gateway. That does make sense considering the local IP address it is providing feedback on. As an aside, I understood Pentair to be the best equipment overall for residential/consumer grade. I will...

Yes, first thing I did was update to 1.064 and started with the Intellicenter2 iOS Within the app, I do have the option to "connect local" which lists the IP address in my private IP range 10.0.0.0/24. I thought that might've been a local connection option within my private subnet, but perhaps...

Ah. I sent the above reply at the same time you responded. So then, it seems like 900mhz is preferred over the Wifi--- and my model may not come with a WiFI bridge anyways? In either case, the only option I have is to use the 900mhz radio wireless bridge. Is the 900mhz radio signal considered...

It sounds like my installer did not hook up the wireless bridge. Maybe this bridge listed in this picture: Pentair IntelliCenter Installation Questions/Issues I assume the wifi bridge comes with the intellicenter as standard?

That's what confused me. This screenlogic interface wireless link product was given to me by the equipment setters, so I assumed this came with the Intellicenter. The product I plugged into our home router inside is this...

Hello TFP, I'm brand new to this forum, and a first time new pool owner (in startup phase now). I recently completed a 20k gallon pool/spa owner-build and hired a company to help with startup. Everyone is busy and not feeling like I'm getting altogether honest answers to my questions --...
