    Winterization fail. Cracked skimmer

    Thanks. That looks like good stuff. I'm well versed on using 2 part. It will be dry when I do it as we're still closed and drained well below the skimmer. Weather in NY has been awful this spring 😕

    Winterization fail. Cracked skimmer

    So I've winterized my pool fine for many years. I generally leave a 1/2 to 3/4 full bottle of antifreeze in the skimmer and it's always fine. Last fall I was unexcusable in a huge hurry and didn't get to the closing until late October. Screwed up and didn't leave enough antifreeze in the...

    Home Assistant integration for Intellicenter

    I know this is somewhat aged, but do you know if the Intelliconnect uses the same web sockets as the intellicenter? I'm pretty new to HA and have wanted to get my pool on it but no one has done the intelliconnect yet. I tried your app but it doesn't recognize the connect so i'm guessing they...

    Intelliconnect and pump overrides?

    I know this is an old thread and you may have figured it out but i came here looking for the answer when my pump wouldn't run a schedule. I found that the IC40 SWG while in boost most from the app has an RPM that locks in. I had hit the boost earlier today to bounce the CL. Took it out of...

    Automation for Pentair?

    I have an Intelliconnnect and for what i need it works fine. No issues at all. Gives me access to the intelliflow and IC40 through the home app. Heater add on should be fine. I don't use it for lighting (though i could with the aux contacts). If all you want to do i change the SWG and pump...

    IntelliConnect Operating Problems

    Your can hook the serial up to the power supply for the ic40. There are two terminals in there that you can just wire directly to the intelliconnect. I just used extra wire from the pump serial cable

    Link2O being replaced by Pentair Home

    Turns out my intelliconnect didn't register properly on first install of home. Deleted and readded it and air temp sensor was added. Also in the intelliconnect product overview screen it was missing a bunch of info and when I tried to edit it I got errors. Hopefully that helps for anyone else...

    IntelliConnect Operating Problems

    on my pump i can press the menu button and it will bring the display to local control. In the settings menu you can change from FLOW (GPM) to SPEED (RPM) in the pump settings. This will allow you to change the programs from the app. If you run the pump withthe 485 disconnected it will tell...

    Link2O being replaced by Pentair Home

    It's working for me fine, except my system is stuck in freeze protection. I disabled it in the settings for the VS pump and it's working fine, just no freeze protection, but that's no big deal heading into June. I don't see any weather data in the app anywhere so the Link2O bulletin that talks...

    Intelliconnect, pentair Home, and intelliflo vs stuck in freeze protection

    Thanks. I think this is pentair home bug after looking at everything. Even the feedback screen in the app doesn't work as it won't submit the form. More half built solutions. Wish i hadn't migrated as the link2o worked

    Intelliconnect, pentair Home, and intelliflo vs stuck in freeze protection

    I have an intelliconnect that i upgraded to pentair home the other day. I got a freeze protect text message one night about a week ago that i think was probably accurate. Ever since Home is telling me that the pump is in freeze protection mode even though it's 85 degrees out and the water is...

    Integrate intellibrite controller with automation (intelliconnect))

    I have a 5g light and existing intellibrite controller and I just bought an intelliconnect (mostly for ic40 integration with my intelliflo vs pump). I know the automation can control the light and I suppose it would be nice but seeing how I already have the manual controller I'm not sure if I...

    What's your current pool temp?

    our pool was up to 82 last week then it got cool over the weekend and came down to 76. Then we forgot to put the cover on sunday night and it dropped all the way to 70. :censored: Warming back up now.

    What did you do to your pool today?

    fighting with pentair and local service co to replace the flow switch on my IC40 under warranty. There's no liquid chlorine to be found in my area right now and my salt cell isn't producting because the thermistor failed already. Because it's under warranty i don't want to go hacking it up to...

    out of curiosity and ignorance, why wouldn't you grout between the coping and deck?

    What's your current pool temp?

    Opened two weeks ago because I was bored and it was nice out. After getting snow last weekend in still sitting at 56°. Hopefully this promised pattern chance this weekend starts climbing. Haven't added a drop of chlorine yet and still have plenty ugh

    Swamp Fever

    Just out of curiosity, how much have you spent on this process? Would it have been cheaper to just drain the pool and refill it? Here in my town it only cost me about $70 in water to fill 17000 happens, but water is cheap up here.

    What did you do to your pool today?

    Opened the pool in upstate NY. It's been an awful spring and the weather doesn't look like it's going to get any better soon, but it was beautiful today so I said why not. Pumped off the cover made it way easier to the point I took it off alone with zero spillage. Water was Crystal clear with...

    Intelliflo vs losing pressure

    Ok i backwashed and did get a few psi. Also am going to run a boost cycle on my swg to see if the fc pops.

    Intelliflo vs losing pressure

    it's less than 10 psi. It's not algae as I have had solid chlorine at 3ppm via talor drop since opening 13 days ago. We have had a ton of pollen which could be impacting but it flows fine if I hit the egg timer and then back down to the manual

    Intelliflo vs losing pressure

    I've noticed working the last week that my returns have had less pressure. I'm running a 2250 rpm manual process right now with all the pollen. If I stop the pump and restart it the pressure is good again after the priming cycle. An hour or so later the pressure has dropped again. It doesn't...

    pond to pool reno

    for removing old thinset and mortar in a nice smooth fashion a cup wheel for a grinder works wonders. About 30-40 buck at home depot.
