Good afternoon everyone! So we had a week of VERY cold temp, and I had about 3-4 inches of ice up against the gun step (one other small spot as well) and the lip of the top step cracked off due to ice pressure. Is this something that is fixable? DIY or should I just go pro.. Not sure what...

G'afternoon all, I'm running into some oddities with the screen logic system, so I'd like to get some feedback. So what has happened so far every once in a while, a program would randomly start that is not on schedule. Such as SPA kicking in at 10 pm for no reason. Biggest issue is the lights...

Finally figured out why the SPA level was draining down slowly. The seal in the inlet valve was shot, once I replaced the waterway guts, problems was solved. NOW the level in the SPA drops to right below the grout below the spillway and stops which tells me the grout has been eaten away by the...

Alright, I got the pool up and running and I am getting to the water next. PH and CC are good for now. I had an issue last year, and my poolmiser would "band-aid" the issue. So here is the problem, every night when the pool filter ends its cycle, over the 8 hours it is stopped, the water in...

Pool Year #2 and I installed a heater bypass before opening the pool. With that said, the heater BYpass kit, as a few have noticed, looks for a BP_VLV connector on the main board of the heater. supposedly, when activated, the value accommodates for cool-down time before diverting back to pool...

Afternoon all, Well, after a good summer of learning and getting everything dialed in, I am coming up on a decision on if I should close this year or run it like last year. Last year, it ran all winter, with our ice storm, etc. Pentair freeze protection worked fine. I do not have a cover...

I have finally seem to have found the balance of the SWCG for my pool, which is around 47% running at low speed for 16 hours a day.. I get right around 6.9-7.0 TC and the same with FC. PH is a "every three day" test and add due to salt water.. I have two questions around CYA and CH CYA - over...

In the process of getting my setup dailed in, last night, I noticed a "low flow" reading on the screen logic app when running at 1600 RPM.. In doing a little research on the IC40, it seems to need a 25gpm rate as the "minimum". which is about 1800 RPM in my setup.. at 1600 RPM (Inteiiflow VSF)...

So in the process of nailing down my new schedule, I have run into an unknown.. Screen logic shows two circuits (outside of features), being POOL and SPA. When Pool mode is running, valve into the filter is 100% skimmer and vents (2), SPA is off and return valve is 80% SPA (spillways from...

Now that everything is up and running, I'd like to enquire those who run the Pentair system how they have their automation setup. I am looking for what people (in the south, like TX/OK) are running for schedules. Right now I have the pool run for 3 hours, spa for an hour, then pool for 3 hours...

Afternoon! Finally got the pool up and running and outside of getting some MA in the water, I am having a an issue where the IC40 is reporting about 3750 ppm while the store tested salt is reporting 2800 ppm.. clear disparity. Is there any way to "re-calibrate" the salt water senor on the...

Just updated the Screenlogic adapter to 738, and now I am looking to update the easytouch firmware from 2.160 to 2.190 I looked around but could not find any detail.. Has anyone been successful in doing this or have a "how-to"? appreciated

Evening.. SO I been heating up the pool so the kids can swin during break and I might keep the heater going for a week or two. with warmer weather starting to head in after that. With that said, been only shocking / acid to the pool to keep chems in place, but now time to add Salt and get the...

So I have a 12K pool with a SPA that spills over into the pool (via 3 spill ways). I run the pump about 7 hours a day to do a full cycle of the water. what seems to be happening is during the night over time, the spa level drops about 5-6 inches after the pump shuts off, but no more than...

So I woke up this morning, and I noticed the pump was not going. On the pump, it says "Alarm: Power outage", now if I go to the panel and hit the "F" button, the pump goes back to "Display", only seems when it is called to spin up has a power outage issue. I reset the power breaker for the...

My apology for all the questions as I am learning a ton of good info here.. So we are just getting out of the cold snap and will be in the 50-upper 60s for the next few weekss. Right now the pool is at 33 and the SPA at 34 deg, which with more sun tomorrow, should rise a few deg as well.. My...

Now that the cold snap has come to an end (in the 40's today, water temp is still at 33 deg, rising slowly) , I just removed the tarp from the pool equipment to let it et some much needed sun and noticed that the pressure on the filter (Titan II Sand) is very high, like at 38 PSI)..My normal...

Afternoon all, New pool owner here from Tulsa.. With the up and coming freeze, my first with our pool (came with home), just want to make sure I am ready. Done a lot of reading, so I think I have a few options.. Some notes.. Pentair system (soup to nuts, incl heater) intellipanel run with...
