    Gas Supply Line Question

    A month back I noticed I had water leaking from the supply side of my Sta-Rite 400btu heater. It was the connection loose, or so I thought. I tried tightening the fitting only to strip and make it worse. In my efforts to repair the connections I realized they were actually not going on straight...

    Painting Spa Side Remote

    Has anyone ever pondered or actually painted their spa side remote a different color? They have great spray paints designed to work with plastic. I’ve got a Pentair IS4 in white and it stands out like a sore thumb against my earth toned rocks it’s mounted on. I just installed it and used...

    Filter Pressure with SWG

    Drives me nuts that as the filter gradually gets dirty the flow decreases and then the SWG stops working. No way to know other than look over fence at lights or go through diagnostics on indoor panel. It'd be nice to get an alert or warning. Usually the way I notice it's not working is that my...

    Foam 2x Weeks

    I've had an issue with foam in my pool/spa for over two weeks now. It started right around the time I treated my pool for black algae. I accidentally put twice as much in as I was supposed to. I added clarifier afterwards as it suggested. The issue is that I run my pool water into my spa for a...

    Pentair EasyTouch Panel Upgrade and Lighting/Relay Question

    Sorry for lumping this all into one question but it all pertains to each other. First, I currently have a Pentair EasyTouch 4 panel with 12V LED pool lights and a 110V LED spa light. Each of the lights are controlled by their own relay and coupled with the pump relay and blower relay, that taps...

    LED lighting help needed

    I have an inground pool I just upgraded from SaM lights to LED. I used Pentair Intellebrite 5G LED lights with my Pentair EasyTouch 4 system. My two pool lights are 12v and the spa light is 110v. I'm not sure what I did but the GFCI trips when I turn on the pool lights but works just fine when I...

    Hayward Junction Box Transformers

    Has anyone here ever used these? I just upgraded to 12v LED for my pool and it seems fairly simple to just add the transformer to the top of the j-box rather than adding another piece of equipment attached to the wall in the pool equipment area. I was considering buying one of these for my...

    12V vs 120V color LED pool light

    So, I did something unknowingly yesterday... I accidentally bought both a 12v and 120v version of the Pentair Intellibrite 5G. My pool currently has two 120v SAM lights and the spa has one 120v SAM light. I thought I would be cool and upgrade to the Intellibrite after talking with someone from...
