    Intellivalve Dilemma

    original install was november 2019. both intellivalves were replaced under warranty in 2022. warranty is from original install date, which has passed. when i run it while it's off the 3 way, it stops at the same spot. just shy of where it needs to be. i also tried re-programming the...

    Intellivalve Dilemma

    Here is a video explaining my issue. Figured it would be easier to do that than try to type it out. Basically...the intellivalve when stopped at the limit for the right side going to the spa, it doesn't quite come far enough. So a little water is going to the spa when in pool mode. Not...

    Is a 7' bench in the deep end over kill if i already have a sun ledge? 20x45x36 L shape

    up to you and how you think your family will use the pool. we have a wrap around bench all along the deep end. i opted for lots of seating because our pool if basically just for recreation and relaxing. we do not "swim laps".

    Looking for Microbrite Alternatives

    theoretically, yes i would agree. i have yet to find any threads on here from someone who has actually done it. i'm trying to get someone with first hand experience in replacing the microbrites with a different, non-pentair microbrite, light.

    Looking for Microbrite Alternatives

    Looking for someone who has actually successfully replaced their microbrite lights with another brand. Pool was built in 2019 and I had 2 of the 4 lights replaced under warranty before it ran out. I'm down to 3 lights working now. These things are seriously a POS...I rarely ever even turn...

    Leslie's Salt Update?

    I have always used Leslie's bags of salt and have had no issues over the years. We have gotten a metric ton of rain over the past few months and I've gone through all my bags. I went up and bought 3 more bags to have some on hand for the next inevitable deluge and noticed the bags had changed...

    IntelliCenter2 Migration to Pentair Home

    I migrated to the new app the other day and I totally regret migrating. I realize that they will likely force everyone to move over...but at least I could have stayed on the old app a bit longer. It's not intuitive to navigate at all. I find just simply touching the right area to navigate or...
