Today I successfully started Walter remotely (from my office) using the Pentair Home app on my phone. I had not initially intended to get the "fancy" robot, but given the supply chain constraints, it's what Marina had in stock, so I got it. Now I'm glad I did, because it will help me to be able...

Hahaha those are awesome. def getting some for the grandkids!

Thanks for the reply....I've been trying to convince the Mrs. to let me stock the pool with some rainbow trout, but she won't go for it! :laughblue:

Today we welcomed Walter, a Pentair Prowler 930W delivered by the fine folks at Marina Pool & Spa. Walter replaced a 3-ish year old Pentair Racer that never really got the job done. Walter is finishing his initial run through the pool, which has raised these questions: Does running Walter...

Considering building an enclosure for my soon-to-be purchased robot...would love to see a photo of yours if possible?

Well, I usually don't answer my own posts, but in this case, this was a remarkably easy fix. I called Pentair support to see what they had to say. surprisingly, my hold time was about 10 seconds. I explained the issue and the rep asked me to look at the inside transmitter. He said the quickly...

Texas is a mess right now, so this is a real first world problem. My EasyTouch panel has lost connection with Screenlogic after power outage due to the Texas winter apocalypse. Our power was only out about 12 hours continuously, and ScreenLogic was connecting fine prior to that. I've read...

Sorry that I didn't give more background. This is a 2 1/2 year old pool/spa and we have used the spa frequently during with cooler months without the blower. I had never really investigated how the spa returns worked (and have found much more info on the forum since I posted). What I now...

While it's 98+ degrees in Texas, I'm dreaming about those few months when we will heat up the spa for an evening soak. We have a 7' x 7' square pool level spa with 8 seat level returns, each with a 1" eyeball. We also have a blower, but we rarely use it, as it's one speed and pretty aggressive...

Seems like a good option...what are the specs of the pump you are using?

Yes, I agree...I was not implying I would glue into the return! I have a threaded adapter that I screwed into the return, then slipped the end of the fountain into it, as per post #65, including tapping it in with a dead blow hammer; however, the fit was not tight enough to hold when I blocked...

I think you're right, too many holes. I did some work yesterday plugging all the other return jets, then ran into another problem: my connection between the slip fitting in the return pipe and the fountain was not sufficiently snug to keep the assembly together (my fountain is not glued to the...
