While reading through this I noticed that people were adding unnecessary steps or making things more difficult than necessary using the older Prog12z on Windows 7 systems. Win 7's built in "Compatibility Mode" program handles older software like this seamlessly eliminating the need of a...

Sta-Rite System:3® Modular Media Filter with a topper of Cellulose 3oz. per 25 Sq. Ft. <2 Microns. :bowdown: As far as pool filters go that is the best set up on the planet hands down! ;) http://www.pentairpool.com/products/filters-cartridge-system-3-modular-media-filters-sm-series-172.htm

WoW! Congrats on the new clean look and a definite welcome surprise. What no advanced posting options like BOLD, italics or COLOR for fonts, LINKS or other fun stuff like smileys etc.???? Who said learning BB Code was a waste of time? I know looks aren't everything, Craigslist has proven...

Re: How to upgrade the Intellichem Controller Firmware for $ Great post Jerry! :goodjob: Here is where I got mine from and some info about loading the drivers which should stay loaded after the initial time manually but if you choose to here's a link to the installer for the drivers so that...

What's stopping you now? Technology has been and is ever changing at such a rapid pace in the P&S Industry you'd be surprised at what can be done these days. This should wet your appetite or at least get you going to start with. :shock: Sorry lol Pool Cover Specialists Coverstar Pool...

Jb's suggestion about buyiing a cheaper cover is your best bet. Solar blankets aren't what they used to be and retailers like LESSlies hook you for ever with their "pro-rated" warranty. My customers now buy a new one once a year for less than $100 and it works out better for them they have...

UPDATE! :thumleft: App should be out any time now within a couple of weeks I'm testing it out now and for the most part it's brill, only a couple of bugs mainly mine crashes when I try and do too many actions at one time. :party:

In regard to the ScreenLogic, the "new" wireless kit #521964 is superior and less than half the price of the older and now discontinued #520639 adapter, so make sure you're not buying or getting the old stock. With the networks I've done at least here in the Los Angeles area on U-Verse there is...

Just to clarify I do not work for, nor do I receive any compensation from Pentair or any of the other BIG 3 mentioned. However, since I not only install equipment I "actually" have hands on use of the stuff 6 days a week and see first hand how certain equipment and systems work and don't work...

ScreenLogic Application for Android will be available late June 2013 according to the insert I just got from Pentair. :party: FINALLY! :cheers: [attachment=0:1xikyutj]Pentair Screenlogic Update Info Resized.jpg[/attachment:1xikyutj]

One important factor that I believe everyone should consider when looking for a remote access option to their IntelliTouch and EasyTouch systems is that Pentair ScreenLogic2 is designed to not only allow a person remote access to their system but to actually be used as their primary (optional)...

I wouldn't doubt it if they didn't wash it because they knew you were posting here. The Bicarb Start-up is by far the best for Quartz finishes. I use it on every finish start up, but my quartz finishes are consistently even without blotchy areas especially on the dark colors where it really...

I assume the question was directed to the OP but I'll offer my 5 cents worth anyway. :mrgreen: There are a few good topics on solar here in the forum that can pretty much answer most of the questions anyone may have. You can get a fairly decent "ball park" figure of what you can expect in...

I think I know what you are talking about I'll try and post a pic of what I believe you are referring to as the cavitation. I set the speed so it appears that it is pushing more water than it is pulling and the water sits about 1 to 2 inches below the lid and appears to vortex at times and...

Pool plaster is mainly made up of three things. 1. PORTLAND CEMENT 2. AGGREGATES 3. ADDITIVES PORTLAND CEMENT Portland cement is a gray or white powder that is the binder for all cement products such as concrete, mortar and specialty products such as pool plaster. AGGREGATES...

Like I said that pump is a Beast and you can't feed it enough which is why I said you should use minimum 2 1/2" like Pentair recommends. The cleaner line on the upgrade I did caused some problems that were horribly aggravating until we made it a dedicated set up. You only need 10" as it's 5...

Yes it works with the AquaLink the system I installed it on is 3 years old, but if you need to you can use the IntelliCom II adapter ($150.00) to use with older firmware. This pump is a BEAST and I highly recommend it for the price difference from the #011018 VS model however this pump should...

Hello gtemkin, I'm sorry to hear about your botched re-plaster job which I come across on many occasion, I am not all that shocked at the negligence however I am shocked that this has gone on for what looks like approximately 4 months now with no resolution. Leaving you with nothing but...

Ken great program as everyone who uses it has said as you know. I've been using the Pro version since it became available for my route. I know it has sync and export features already but they are limited in their functionality. I have a couple of capabilities or functions that could make this...

LMAO I ordered some just for the heck of it I'm a pool tech also and I can get the complete White Threaded for less than the iBall only @ $17.00 and change. All you have to do is take them apart and then you have your insert only. I don't think we're going to get our orders either Cajun...

I edited that in but I also stated so in the message "The "internal" portion is the main feature of the product [s:1lj2xqi6]as far as i can see they don't offer it separate.[/s:1lj2xqi6] I found the iBALL ONLY and listed it below." I think I was adding while you where posting :P Those are...

Jason and Cajun, I listed the part number for the iBALL Only however read what I said about the price on the threaded White Complete Unit. Just unscrew the ring and there's your iBALL Only part. Pop out your current ones and pop the new ones in. TA DAH! :wink:

The actual portion of the return that adjusts is made out of flexible silicone so I believe that they put the bare minimum amount of pressure needed to just increase the pressure as if were under normal pressure and a standard return. In other words I don't believe that they are totally...

Maybe it's list price that is $38.00. Basically if you watch the demo video the concept is that when you are running your pump at a slower speed they act similar to when you place your thump over the end of your water hose to increase the pressure for sweeping and such. Doing this moves more...

Looking at the video they look promising, but at almost $40.00 bucks a pop retail I would hope they work well. Wholesale your looking at around the $20 to $24 mark depending on if you want white ones or one of their various color options. Since the flexible part is made of silicone I wonder...

Re: QuartzScapes - Super Blue, Tahoe Blue or French Grey-pic First of all this statement is very misleading to people who are unaware of the truth behind 3M™ discontinuing their Colorquartz™ pool finishes. The fact of the matter is 3M™ is multibillion dollar company who continually analyzes...

As far as any agency State or Local being called out for migrating birds this is not true especially here in the Los Angeles area and it only takes one phone call if you doubt that. This is actually much more serious than most people think, Ducks are covered by the " Federal Migratory Bird...

Here's some additional useful info: http://www.seaandsageaudubon.org/BirdInfo/BirdProblems/PreventDuckProblemsInPools.pdf

Hello everyone, I have been a big supporter of the BBB method since I first learned about it and now I use this for the most part as part of my service. I have found that all of my pools are easier to maintain and no pun intended truly "Trouble Free". I look forward to hopefully contributing...
