I’m draining pool and wondering how much water to leave in it. It’s an old plaster pool and we have hard water so going to use water softener for filling. What should Ca hardness be? Another issue just arose (see pic). I have a shelf/seat under spillway and edge plaster broke off last year...

Ok, figured out the spillway function on the config pentair screen, but would like to see if there’s a way to drain spa using the same method to reduce amount of water to heat up.

My heat exchanger started leaking and I had to get a new one. I also need a manifold, as mine cracked trying to get a welded bolt out. Anyway, found someone here locally selling used mastertemps and wondering if I can use parts from a 400 for my 333 unit? What parts can be used on both models...

Well, the max e therm 333 heater may be done. It's not firing up and I'm afraid the combustion chamber is under water, I'll know this weekend when I remove bolt from manifold. Looks like a new one is in my future, but my question is.....has anyone piped a bypass to be able to valve off the...

Had this system for 3 yrs now and works great. Problem is when I turn on pool it thunks (relay kicks on) but pump doesn’t come on. Also, when I hit F button for filter/pump to turn it off, it does nothing. Light stays on but pump isn’t running. I have the Lite version of ET, and transformer...

Weird thing going on here....my swg is running normally with water temp at 45 degrees. I’m guessing since the salt level shows zero that the sensors have gone out and it doesn’t know to shut off at mid 50’s ( ie. cold water light not illuminated). Anyone else have this strange behavior from...

Testing the premise, I hooked up my sump pump with a 5’ piece of pvc with holes drilled in it for a redneck pool cooler and it actually worked...from 88 down to 85 overnite. Now want to rig a couple in the returns to use VSP power instead of separate pump, but can’t get the eyeball housings...

Went to turn on pool pump and found ET dark. I tested with meter and there is power to panel, but nothing on display. Any way to reset it?

Ok, I have an EasyTouch 4 lite version....didn’t do my homework before we got it. Anyway, it does everything I want except I got a 12v light added today and want to know if I can wire the light transformer to the neutral wire on the ET built in transformer? I just plugged light into the dusk...

Turned on light switch and the pool light blew. Shattered the lens and broke most of the catches that hold gasket, so it’s trash. Just wondering if anyone sourced 12v replacement that would fill the 10” hole. I have separate 12v landscape lights I could easily tie into. Suggestions?

Just ordered a Taylor 1766 kit online. Swg says 2650 but my COM-80 Salt 3050 meter says normal ~3400. I’m leaning on the latter, but will the swg make chlorine if low salt red light is on? I assume it would make less. Ordered the Taylor kit most everyone’s here prefers just to be sure. Not...

Ok, figured out why no readings from swg on screenlogic....pool co didn’t wire it to the Easy Touch. Got it wired and no status lights or % lights on the IC40 and I even hooked up my spare one and it did exactly the same. Also, pump must be at least 1450 rpm to turn off low flow light, but I...

Hooked up Intermatic transformer and getting 120v but lights not coming on. Never had issues with landscape lights before.

Just had pool redone with automation and when I turn on pump at night before a freeze it seems to turn off after 12 hrs. Sounds like using the Screenlogic app is the same as hitting the button on the Easy Touch that turns on pump for 12 hrs. (not sure which button). So to keep pump running...

We just had a local pool co refresh tile/coping on our pool and also installed easy touch and Intelliflo VSF pump and now the heater won’t come on. Touch screen will not come on and nothing when in spa mode. It’s the Starite 333 BTU model heater. Wondering if the tech did not set it up...

We just recently had our pool updated with new 6" tile, flagstone coping and automation equipment (ie. Pentair power center and Intelliflo pump). Been filling pool since Wed. and it's about a 3rd full....it's an old school 80's build with about 2/3rds of the bowl over 5'. Bottom is 9'. My...

Ok, we inherited pool/spa with new old house built in '86. Everything has run fine for alittle over a month, water chem. good. Had not tried the Sta-rite heater until last nite (I don't know the last time it was ran) and all was doing fine--heater heating water to about 93 degrees and rising...

I purchased one of the TFtestkits online and completed all tests this weekend. Everything looked great except the CYA test, which I filled the cylinder up all the way but black dot was still there. I have 3-5ppm FC all times I've tested since we moved into house. Intellichlor is running 12...
