Anyone use an Intel connect relay to run a color LED? When you set it up you have the option of Pentair, Jandy, or Hayward led which I’m assuming controls how many times it needs to cycle the power to get to a specific color. My main problem with my color LED has been the color changing...

Cable is dead, only has continuity on one of the two pins.

I’ve ordered a new cord assembly with swivel for my active 20 robot, the DIY part number matching the current end. The robot end of the cord the plug seems to be coated with some sort of dielectric grease to help keep water out. Will the new one come with this grease, or do I need to provide...

With a new pump I need to redo all pipe between my pump output and filter input to change the pump position. I'm looking at getting a new union for the filter inlet, it looks like there are four parts there based on the parts diagram here - Clean & Clear Do I need to replace all four, or just...

Thanks, that diagram is exactly what I was going to do with a SPDT relay. I was going to do Pool Supply Unlimited, but Polytec looks about the same price. Reading the manual for the IntelliConnect it looks like I could set my relay to "Flow Dependent" and set a minimum RPM. What I'm trying to...

Is the warranty situation 60 days with either model unless it is installed by a Pentair dealer? I'm looking to DIY. I'll get a quote with install from a local dealer to make sure, but I'm generally able to DIY much cheaper.

Looking at the Intelliconnect I think I can use one of the relays to fire a the coil of a separate SPDT relay for 24v a 24V valve actuator. I would have the standard operation direction of the valve (water feature off) hooked up to the normally closed terminal, and the water feature on...

I need a new pump. My pool is 18k gallons. Two skimmers, 1 main drain. 3 1.5 suction lines running to the pad. Two 1.5 return lines running back to the pool. I plan on adding a water feature in the future. Pentair clean and clear 200 cartridge filter. What I'm looking at doing is replacing my...

Which pump is he getting? They have single, two speed, and variable speed Tristars. He wants a two speed at a minimum, and might as well go variable. I would go SWG, but I’m not sure about his natural stone coping with it. I know some people have had problems, others have been fine. He has...

Check here if you have an aquapure: No Flow with Jandy AquaPure Options are - 1. Dirty filter or other restriction limiting flow 2. Sensor needs to be reset or cleaned (above post) 3. Sensor needs to be replaced. I'm assuming you have an aquapure based on your other equipment, it looks like...

Aside from the physical install this is what I did to start up my newly installed SWG (installed with new liner so new water). Get pump running Test Water - Get TA / PH / CH right Chlorinate with liquid chlorine Add CYA up to desired level Add salt (just pour in, brush a little. Run the pump...

So my plan is to cut the old valves off which will leave my about 8" sticking out of the ground on all three pipes. I'll put a new valve on each, then 2" up through Ts making a manifold and into the pump. This will get the suction side, which I have read that it is a much bigger impact to...

The valves I have are neverlube 4724 two way valves, so each line gets its own two way valve.

I have three 1.5" runs coming back from the pool on the suction side, two skimmers and a main drain. I have to re plumb the suction side of the pump due to the crappy red handled PCV valves on each supply. I have three 1.5/2 neverlube valves. The pump is a Pentair WFE-4 with a vGreen 1.65...

When I bought my house last year they had a 1HP (1.65THP) Pentair WFE-4 running 24 hours a day. I looked at buying a timer with freeze protection, but then I was half way to to cost of a replacement motor. I bought a vGreen 165 variable speed replacement motor and just swapped it onto the WFE-4...
