    Thanks for the reply guys. Jim, Yes, I was going for the saltwater pool but "you guys" on here told me to wait till the intellicenter comes out. :-) Maybe a bad idea, but I returned the easytouch I already had in my garage and that I paid $100 to return because people on the forum were telling...

    Hi guys, Bought new house in January. Used old owners pool guy, charged me $175 a month and didn't do much. Finally he lied to me and charged me $100 to clean my filters and never did. I let him go and I found this site! Other members have been helpful in getting a new heater and pump. Now I...

    Best NG Heater? My Raypak RP2100 rusted out....Please help!

    "I'm sure you know that Raypak does not warranty heaters purchased online???" Veccster Are you sure about this? I was told that as long as a "professional" installs the heater and gives a invoice the warranty is honored. I may have to call them tomorrow and find out the scoop.

    Thanks Jim! Yeah, water is clear, doesn't appear that anything is growing. I'll keep you posted on my pressure readings over the next few weeks. I think my pool guy lied to me. Said he cleaned the filters a few weeks ago, but it appears he never did. After some fighting he only charged me $95...

    Thanks for the reply ps0303. The other line is going to our gas grill towards the house. It was working fine before the heater install. I did tell the guy to come back and check it out. I'll ask him to bring a gas sniffer, whatever that may be. Hopefully he knows what it is. Great heater...

    Hi Guys, I did a quick search and found some good info, but I wanted to ask the experts directly about my new saltwater conversion and which filter would be best. I inherited a pool when we bought our new house and never owned a pool before. I just replaced the heater and got a new Pentair...

    Thanks guys! I'm also getting the Raypak 406A NG cupro-nickel. It was actually cheaper than the all copper version, go figure. I found Activepoolsupply.com has it for the cheapest and its a google trusted store (not sure if that means anything)...

    Best NG Heater? My Raypak RP2100 rusted out....Please help!

    Thanks for the info guys! I will probably go with the Raypak. Now there are so many models I'm confused which one to buy. I will be converting to Salt Water. I think I need a 399 btu model, but which one? I need a Natural Gas version. Anyone have any specific model #'s and a good store to...

    Hi Guys. Just moved into a new house and I never owned a pool before. I was stupid not to get a pool inspection. Tried to turn on the heater and it turned on for about 30 minutes, but I could smell burning, then it stopped and now will say CFH and then stay in perpetual SPK mode but will not...

    New to Automation - Screen Logic Vs Autelis. Aqua Link vs Pentair? Works with Alexa?

    Hey guys, need some more help. I tried to return the EasyTouch and it's going to cost me $110! What do you guys think I should do? I'm sure the EasyTouch will do everything I need for the next few years and I'm not sure how much more the IntelliCenter will cost? It may not even be worth it if...

    Hi guys, Pool newbie here. I live in Texas and just bought a home with a pool and spa attached (water from spa overflows into the pool below). I never owned a pool before and know next to nothing. I tried to turn on my heater the other day and the thing smoked and died (i'm idiot for not...

    Which to choose: SL2 or the Autelis

    Any updates? I am in the exact same situation deciding between the Screen Logic vs the Autelis. I'm leaning towards screen logic due to its recent Alexa skill which will let you control some functions via voice control. Does Autelis have such a thing? I will be using it via Homeseer and It...
