my equipment pad is next to my fence so the pics aren’t ideal. Please ignore the grass behind it. I’m about to go outside and hit it with some round up.

Jim- Thank you. I would really like to do this myself if it isn't something too difficult. I work in IT, so I love automating things. I'm typically a DIY'r for many things if it is something I can handle by myself. My biggest hurdle is I'm new to being a pool owner in general. So I'm not yet...

Can I add some intellivalves and automate different modes in my pool? Basically, I like to keep my pump running as long as possible. So in pool mode it's normally around 60 GPM so I can have my bubbles on. I only turn on the deck jets when the kids are in the pool. Instead of constantly walking...

I find I use this MUCH more often than the pentair app. It's quicker and more responsive. Of course I need to pull up the intellicenter app or website to edit schedules. I also haven't figured out how to change the light color yet, but I also haven't put any effort to see if it's possible. This...

Just setup my Home Assistant today and this was one of the first things I installed. So far it is great. Once I figure out the layout I use, I'll post some screenshots. Thanks for sharing

I had the same thing happen. I was running my heater to make sure I had warm water pumping through the freeze. I lost power for 36 hours. I did drain the pump and most of the filter before it froze. My pool installer was here after for something unrelated and said he didn't see any damage in my...

Where else would I buy it? The local stores have that price. Just to be clear, that includes tax which is about 10% in my area. Am I wrong in that this model is only available in a store? It seems the Triton has similar specs but is an online-only option.

My pool is currently under construction. My pool contractor included a Maytronics Dolphin S200 for $1100 in their bid. I can opt-out if I find a better option so I'm trying to sort through the many options out there. My neighbor has a couple of pine trees about 20'-25' from the pool which I know...

The pool installer that I’m likely going with just called to say he was emailing pricing info. I asked him about gas options. He said our locality doesn’t allow high pressure in the house. He said his plumber would run the line for about $10/ft which is better than the other guy’s price that I...

Yes. I just checked the attic. I have 5 T's on the gas line. T1 - Furnace T2 - 180k max water heater T3 - Gas Cooktop in kitchen T4 - Furnace, 157 max water heater, & gas lantern on porch T5 - 60k outdoor kitchen burner I will look up the info later on the other appliances. We are in...

Ok. I plan to get in the attic later to count the T's. I'll post back. I'm about to go visit my parents so it may be this afternoon. Thanks!

plus the length up and down the wall so it's about 80' for the total run yes. that is where I'd like to place the heater. I believe so. The exterior dimension of the pipe seems to be just under 2" so I think it is 1.5" When I spoke to a phone rep on Friday, they said a 'tech' should call me...

So you have a gas line exposed on the exterior of your home running up into the attic? It seems like that is a cheaper option for me than running a 160' line around the house and pool.

The main gas line comes off my meter, goes into the wall (brick veneer), and up to the attic. It then runs 58' across the house and down the wall so it stubs out the brick on the opposite side of my home from the meter. Maybe the attachment will help illustrate my situation. The current line has...

@JoyfulNoise Great info. Thanks.

thanks again!!! I may just move the equipment to save the added plumbing costs.

Ouch. Someone local told me I should expect $25/ft for the gas line. If I ran it underground, I’d be looking at $3,500-4,000 which kind of hurts bc I’m already on the edge of what I want to spend. My other option is to place the pool equipment on the other side of the house. Close to the gas...

thanks for the info! I was assuming I’d need to upgrade the meter. I guess I need to figure out a way to get a dedicated line where I want the heater now if the shared pipe is basically useless. To go around the house and pool, it would be roughly 150’. I could always change the location of...

I'm in the process of pricing my pool installation. This site has been a great help so far. I'm new to the forum so I apologize if this is in the wrong board. Each pool contractor has made a blanket statement like 'you may need to change your gas meter' and 'the gas line might not work if it...
