I got the watch app to work. Once you download Intellicenter2, open the watch app. I got the same prompt as you. I tried logging out on the phone app and then logging back in and connecting "remote" while my watch was open on this screen and it synced my email address and let me in with the...

Great idea, Jeff. Admittedly I didn’t program the intellivalves as it was done as a part of startup. I know how to put them in manual mode to manually move them to a position instead of auto which allows the Intellicenter to control them. Now I just need to figure out how to set the actuated...

I figured this out and have it working. I just needs to be patient as the pump starts up and spins high for a minute or 2 before slowing down to set speed. So I woke up this morning and the spa was full so I was bullish. However, I had a schedule to run the spillway 8-830am this morning and...

We have some more winter weather coming our in way in Texas over the next several days. It's looking like weather in my part of Austin will get to around 32 degrees around 4am or 5am Thursday morning before pushing into the twenties by 7am on Thursday and then into the teens around 2pm on...

That helps, thanks. The only piece I still don't understand is the bubbler circuit freeze protect. My pool/spa is run by pump #1. My bubbler/water sheers are run by pump #2. Let's say pump #1 is running on pool mode. If I enable freeze protect on the bubbler feature circuit and set the pump...

Thanks for the recommendation. What makes the spa much less likely to freeze than the pool? I'm still learning so apologies if I'm missing something obvious. Also, I had a feature circuit for my bubblers where I enabled freeze protection and the pump speed seemed to be overridden. Did you do...

Ugh, that's brutal. I'm sorry that happened @Mr. Mike . I can verify that it DID NOT work for me. It appears the freeze protection DID bypass the setting that shuts off the pump when the valves move. We had freezing temperatures in Austin today and it seems I'm losing roughly an inch an hour...

Does the logic only look at air temperature? I figured it would be some combination of air temperature as well as water temperature to kick on freeze protection?

Sounds like we’re in the same boat, @Mr. Mike . I logged in to Intellicenter through a web browser and found the setting that allows you to turn off the pump while valves move. I checked the box and will have to watch it closely during the next freeze.

This is my first winter with my pool and temperatures dropped into the mid 20's last night in Austin. The Freeze protection in the Intellicenter did kick in and do it's thing. However, when I woke up this morning, the system was on spa mode and the water in the spa was at the light niche (almost...

Ah, I think that’s the piece I’ve been missing @jseyfert3 . So then is there a downside to continuing to let the pH rise well into the 8’s if CSI is still negative? With my readings, the higher the pH the closer to 0 the CSI becomes (while still being negative).
