Think I just figured it out. IC40 was set to 0%, which I think Itelliph keys off of to shut down in spa mode. Raised the IC40 output and the Intelliph started dispensing normally.

Just installed a Pentair Intelliph system with my Easytouch and IC40 SWG. Pool automation is working fine but when I powered up the Intelliph system for the first time, it said no dispensing due to spa mode. I switched the system to spa and it started dispensing so somehow intelliph sees my...

About to embark on a refinishing of our pool and really want to go with pebbletec. I've heard that the smoother the better though from a few other pool owners and the installer has offered the option for a smoother PB product for more money. Is it worth it for those that have it? Do feet come...

Well, got the Pentair 140k installed. My current pool guy, who had initially said no realized he could actually do the plumbing and my electrician handled the wiring. It's running great and got the pool over 80 in about 7 hours, starting at 70 degrees. Turned on the spa and it hit 102 in...

I've had trouble locating a local installer. As noted previously, the pool guys don't want to touch them, and that includes the vendors listed on Pentair and Haywards websites. I'm probably just going to do the connections myself and have an electrician handle the wiring.

@steinre1 Thanks! What heat pump do you have? I've not seen a 175k btu unit as of yet. I'm considering repairing my NG pentair and adding it to the HP when I get it.

Thank you for your reply @jsygrls ! Do you use yours to heat a spa as well? We have a normal sized spa and I can imagine having the pool automation start heating that a few hours before we would expect to use it. Coupled with a cover, I think this is the way to go.

Hi all, New pool owner here and after moving into my house in San Marcos in August, the old Pentair natural gas heater died. I'm leaning towards a heat pump and using my PV solar to offset the bill. I'm assuming max 6kwh draw per hour of operation with 0.5kwh for the VS pump against a 20+kw...

New pool owner in San Marcos (San Diego) and my 10+ year old Pentair pool heater went out. Looking to replace with a heat pump and use my solar to power it but interested in real world experience with the HP. Thanks! Jon
