    Pentair Woes

    Have installed hundreds if not thousands of intellitouch products and you have had more failures at your house than I have had since I first started installing them in 2003. There is something wrong with the power supply or something else in the installation.

    Can't anyone design a decent telepole?

    I really like the Oreq poles. The have both an external and internal locking cam to keep them from slipping while vacuuming. Oreq I haven't used the animal line but the Mako, and Gorilla models are awesome. I'd avoid fiberglass they tend to bend easy and the fiberglass splinters suck...
