Hey guys, I came back from a weekend away and found that our Pentair EasyTouch remote can no longer connect to the control panel. I have done a lot of research and tried a bunch of things but so far no joy. I talked to a tech at Pentair in California today and I might as well have just called...

Hey guys, 3 of our 4 Pentair Globrite lights have died so are going to have to be replaced. I have the new units and am going to be replacing them myself as soon as the water warms up a bit. Does anyone have any tips or tricks on pulling the wires for the new fixtures through the 100'+ of...

We are still in the decision making stage of the construction of our new pool. We are trying to decide if it is better to go with a heatpump or a natural gas heater. We tend to use a pool at night a lot so our goal with the heater will be to keep the water at a comfortable temperature after...

Hey guys, We have just started the process of getting a pool built at our home in Austin. I went into the initial meeting with our builder with the assumption that we would go with a SWG. The builder was pretty adamant about going with Chlorine as opposed to a SWG due to how destructive the...
