Did some googles.. maybe don't have the keywords right.. looking for a 120V light switch that: 1. Has configurable astronomical features 2. Connects to wifi 3. Allows you to set the IP address of a NTP (network time protocol) server I don't want to rely on a manufacturer cloud service. Any...

Hi all, I searched the internet for replacement cams with no luck. Does anyone know if there are cams from other brands that will fit Pentair valves? One of my cams split. The previous owner seems to have tightened the locking nut too tight.

Hi all, I've tried all the settings and consulted the manual. I am obviously missing something or there is a bug- probably me. Problem 1: If I manually turn on my hot tub it starts correctly 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time, the valves are not commanded to move to the spa positions...

I know this has been discussed before, but I wanted to clear something up in my mind. I understand the pump impeller loads the electric motor, so a 3/4hp impeller draws 3/4hp shaft hp. The pump's electric motor must provide the 3/4hp to the shaft, and on top of that, absorbs energy in terms of...

Hi all, I have my filter set to run at 4pm. When I manually turn on my spa at 3:30pm the valves turn properly to isolate flow to my spa. When 4pm rolls around the valves turn back to pool mode. How do I make it so spa mode overrides the pool mode until I'm done in the spa? Thanks a lot, Rob

I have a two speed pump and would like to have two valve positions for high and low while in pool mode. How do I accomplish this? It's not obvious in the manual.

I just installed a 3/4hp cap start/cap run two speed motor on my max E pro filter pump. I'm running a 1/2hp impeller. My intellitouch fires up the pump in high and the intellichlor fires. When the pump goes to low the intellichlor is still happy, which makes me happy. My question is: is it...

To all you seasoned pool guys out there, what has been your experience with pump motor lifetime for A) normal AC motors and B) Variable Speed ECM motors? - Assume the electronics are part of the variable speed ECM motors - Do not include motors damaged by lighting or power company issues - Do...

Hi all, love this forum. I want to give a shout out to the person/people who created the Pumping 101 Excel tool. Fantastic work. I'm performing a cost benefit analysis and found some interesting data. At 26gpm @ 1050rpm and using curve-C, the Energy Cost tab indicates 27.2 g/whr for the TriStar...

I find it surprising there are no drop-in EC AC motors to retrofit the thousands of pool skimmer pumps out there. Are there any options??

Hello all, I'm hoping you can help point me in the right direction. We picked up a new home in California with medium sized pool. I still don't have the # of gallons. We get into the 30 cents per Kw pretty quick and I'd like to explore a variable speed (ECM DC motor) pump or pumps. Currently...

Hello, I have a Pentair Intellitouch i9+3 but am not sure about the Pentair pumps and would like to consider another brand. I don't have any experience using the i9+3, so I'm looking for practical advice on its operation and configuration. We just bought the house and are becoming acclimated...

Split by moderator from HERE. Please start a new thread for your own questions. Thanks, jblizzle Anybody know where to pickup the Gefeg brand motors for the Dolphin Diagnostic? I, too, had the desiccant bad rupture, although it didn't seem to short out the board since it's sillica(?). The...
