Sure does. That's so odd. Every time I think about it and check, it says out of stock. In fact, I just checked it a few days ago. I placed my order, we'll see what happens. At least now I'll have a couple alternatives, thanks to you guys. I don't know why I couldn't find anything when searching...

Hello all, been awhile since I've visited the forums. Over the last few years, I have been buying my granular boric acid from Duda Energy (based on recommendations from here) and I've been very happy with their service and product, not to mention that's the only place I could find it. I usually...

If it helps, here's what I see when I got into the pump setup. Click on "VSP Setup"... Then click on #1 ePump... It lets me choose Intelliflo VS. I believe the ePump is Jandy, not sure what "VSP AC" is... And then it shows this. Looks like you can set different RPMs Since I know...

tstex can you clarify? I don't understand most of what you just said.

It looks like the Pentair Intelliflo 3HP is the crowd favorite (011018). My only concern is if it will fit where my current 2.5 HP Jandy Stealth pump sits. The control board not turning isn't a concern because I believe my Aqualink RS8 will control the Pentair. Anyone have any experience with...

It's probably just the start capacitor for the motor. $8 at the pool store.

Chief, I'm looking to upgrade from a single speed pump to a VS of some sort pretty soon. I have a lot of power issues in my neighborhood so I would think surge protection at the panel would be a good idea. Do you have an example of the one you used?

Moved from here. Marty - TFP Mod Been a while since I've been here and boy things look different! Came on here to look for info about upgrading from single speed pump to VS or VHP (not sure I know the difference). I have an all-Jandy system now with the RS-8 controller and iAqualink. Would I...

I just meant mixing the powdered boric acid with water so the wind doesn't take it. I will never do the borax/ma method again.

But what if you could get it for half price? I imagine that most of us here have already done the initial dose and are just adding small amounts for maintenance.

What if you mixed it with water inside the house and then added the slurry to the pool? That's what I do with my baking soda when making TA adjustments.

It does look like Bulk Apothecary is a little cheaper than Duda Diesel, which is where I normally buy my boric acid. Matt, my question was more about where forum users are buying their boric acid these days (the ones that use it). The reason I ask is because I found somewhere that I can buy A...

Is everyone still getting their boric acid from dudadiesel.com? Or does everyone just buy the borax itself from the store?

I found this... https://www.amazon.com/Pentair-522355-EasyTouch-Control-ScreenLogic/dp/B01508S7SS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483917197&sr=8-1&keywords=pentair+psl4 It says it comes with the EasyTouch interface but it doesn't say EasyTouch2 like on the Pentair website. I assume there is a 2nd...

*Researching raspberry pi and autopilot total control...*

My main pump and waterfall pump are both single speed only. I will replace them with variable speed if these every go out, which may never happen (before we move, anyway) since I completely rebuilt both of them last year. I do have a booster pump for the alien but it is not being used. It must...

Yeah ScreenLogic is more appealing to me than the indoor control panel. So I need to look for dual body, got it. Should I assume the panel comes with all necessary relays and contactors?

What does your "home-built pool automation" consist of?

I'm currently searching for a replacement as well. I don't need complicated. I just need reliable. I am out of town a lot and I need to be able to control my system remotely.

Be careful what you wish for! I spent $500 for the iAquaLink interface for my RS8 and that was the biggest waste of money ever! In theory, it's amazing. If it only worked as it should. And none of them do. Tons of threads on here with issues.

I'm in the market for a new pool controller myself. I'm leaning towards the Pentair EasyTouch. However, I have been considering "building" my own controller with some of the new automation stuff out there. Lately I've been looking at the WeMo Maker. Looks like there's not a lot of information...

Okay well I got all my leaks fixed due to frozen headers on heater. Now I am set on replacing the controller. Looking at the Pentair and a lot of them come with a SWCG. My current setup is liquid chlorine. Leaning more towards sticking with that method (of daily testing and dosing, I don't mind)...

The iAquaLink is trash. I bought one when I was a new pool owner not knowing any better and I've been dealing with it's issues every since. This very issue happens quite often. There should be a switch (probably like an outdoor light switch) that supplies 120V power to the control panel. You can...

gwegan, that's what I was thinking. I'm really curious about where this noise is actually coming from. Nabril15, can you open the control box and make the noise happen to see if you can tell which piece is making the sound and post a picture of it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine makes a thud sound every time. It's the relay engaging. My lights are 120v though so no transformer. Are you sure the thud is new? Never heard of a transformer making a thud noise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

pooldv, Good thing you found this place when you did. I stumbled through all the typical pool store mess for two years before I found this place :( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
