Attaching a pic of my pool for shape reference...

Not to just pile on with another 'What Robot should I buy?' thread (although this is really what it is), I've seen some newer, different ones out there and I'd like to get some perspectives. I've owned two different pool robots and preferred one much more than the other... of course it was also...

Does this thing report pH to the Intellitouch system?

Re: Pool Control by Autelis for Jandy: Web and home automati I'm working on a similar Indigo plugin for my Pentair Intellitouch system (through it's RS232 serial interface). Again, it will be nice to control the pool and auxilliary circuits from my iPhone. Like you note here for Jandy, my...

Re: Is this spa behavior normal (difficult heating when cold Ok. So problem solved. It's important to note that when it was only heating to 95, I was getting in and saying, "I know it's only 95, but it feels good. Must be because it's cooler out". And when it only heated to 92, I didn't get in...

Re: Is this spa behavior normal (difficult heating when cold Attaching a pic below. My spa is a bit bigger (but also has that increased surface area which makes it *look* even bigger, but I think that surface area is all giving up heat). Anyway, we'll see if the increased gas pressure helps...

Re: Is this spa behavior normal (difficult heating when cold Wow, mine wouldn't heat that quickly either! I emailed the builder, and he actually stopped by and said the regulator was at a lower pressure than it should have been (moved it from 4.9" to 7" of water column). Hopefully that helps...

My wife and I build a new pool this year, with spa. (My last house had a pool with no spa, so the spa part is pretty new to me). Anyway, it was great in the summer, turn it on, it heats up - great. But now that winter is arriving, I'm having trouble getting it hot enough. I have the thermostat...

Re: Spa 'aromatherapy' crystals, etc... Does this mess up my Well, I'm not too worried about not detecting a problem (and not looking to use these to mask anything - thanks to this place, my pool tends to run pretty well). I don't expect this stuff hangs around for ever - I'm figuring on a day...

So, I've been poolless for a little over a year, moving into a new house, but we just had a new pool built, with a spa (which I didn't have before). Anyway, I was on the poolgeek website, and they sell a bunch of 'armoatherapy' solutions and crystals to add to your spa. Smells nice, all that...

Been out of my last house for several months now, and getting ready to add a pool to the new place. Not sure what the etiquette here is on recommending a PB, but if you have someone you like please reply or send me a PM. (Had one shining recommendation for a PB from a local in my neighborhood...
