    Submerged spa - pros & cons?

    Now that the home improvement market seems to be cooling off a bit, we are planning a complete "remodel" next year of our backyard. Our existing 20+ year old freeform pool and hardscaping is in rough shape cosmetically, and the pool was poorly placed originally in the backyard (installed by...

    Intellicenter lost pump comms after service mode

    I have an Intellicenter I10-PS connected with 2 Intelliflo VSFs. When I change the filter DE, I put the Intellicenter in service mode so that I can use the Intelliflo keypad to quickly turn the filter pump on/off. I did this a couple weeks ago, and when finished put the Intellicenter back in...

    Intellicenter 2 - After upgrade cannot add new programs

    I recently upgraded my i10PS to the latest firmware, and now access via Intellicenter2.com and the associated app. However, I am unable to add any new programs for any feature circuit or circuit group other than Pool and Spa. I can click add program, select a feature circuit, but if I click...

    Quietest 400k heater - Raypak vs Jandy vs Pentair vs Hayward?

    Looking to purchase a new 400k natural gas heater for our new-to-us house. (Existing heater was apparently wrecked during the big Texas freeze). The pool equipment is a little closer than I'd like to the pool/seating area. Noise level is a concern. I'm considering a Raypak Digital, Jandy Jxi...

    Polaris hose in-line quick disconnect? (not at wall, in hose)

    Just moved to a new house with a beautiful large pool and spa. Strangely, though, the Polaris wall connection was placed about 3 ft below the surface, where the spa wall protrudes in the pool. My arms are about 8" too short to reach the connection, without dunking my chest into the pool. I'd...

    Wiring Intelliflo + Intellichlor SWG + Mastertemp (without automation)

    Over the last couple years I (DIY) replaced all of my pool equipment, including adding an IC40 and installing an Intellicenter I10PS. We just have a simple pool now, but were planning to completely redo the pool, and add a spa - thus the reason I bought the I10PS to "future proof" the equipment...

    IntellipH connection/power with Intellicenter/Intellichlor

    I have an IntelliCenter i10PS with the "built-in" Intellichlor transformer (& IC40) and an IntellipH enroute to me from Polytec. I already have an Intelliflo pump. Looking forward to getting it all installed over the coming long weekend and finally eliminating my current wall of Intermatics...

    Inlet Piping Orientation - Polaris Booster Pump

    I am currently replacing my old sand filter with a Pentair cartridge filter and replacing the existing filter pump with an Intelliflo. I am taking this opportunity to rework the piping for my equipment, as it is real mess. I also have a PB4-60 Polaris booster pump. In the Polaris pump manual...

    Real-world IC40 Reliability

    We are moving into a new house that has nice pool but some "ancient" pool equipment, with no automation or SWG. I have been scoping out all new equipment (DIY install) and am leaning towards Pentair with Intellitouch controls, intelliflo pumps, intellichem acid dispenser...and an IC40 SWG. In...

    Hayward H400IDL2 - Cannot set BO mode

    I have 2003-vintage H400IDL2 Low NOx heater. Pool controls are Aqualink RS6. A few years ago the temperature sensor circuit on the RS6 board failed, so I have been manually turning the heater on/off since. (Previously the heater was in BO mode for remote operation.) I just upgraded the RS6 to...

    Spa Blower - Polaris QT vs. Air Supply Silencer?

    Long time lurker, first time poster. I have a 14 year old 1.5 hp 220V Polaris Spa Blower that I'd like to replace with somewhat quieter. Our pool has two waterfalls, and the blower has gotten so loud it can be heard over them, even though it's around the corner of the house from the spa. I've...
