Moved from here.. Pentair Automation Choices I'm doing a remodel and trying to decide between IntelliCenter i5PSIC60 or the i8PSIC60 (currently out of stock). I have pool/spa combo with Pentair 3HP VS pump, spa blower, (2) IntelliBrite Pool Lights (one spa/one pool), waterfall, and SR Smith...

Any update on your installs? I have the monoprice sycamore 2.1 sub with 4 satellites. I haven't bought the amp/receiver yet, but was looking at the Yamaha R-N303 (backordered) with bluetooth and musicast that I can control via alexa or phone. Do you have the satellites all pointed towards...

I plan on doing the most DIY if possible. The manual for the IntelliCenter "requires" a licensed electrician to install the electrical components. I may just opt for the electrician for help with that part. I plan on running the plumbing. Are you hiring that out or plan to do yourself? Just...

I'm overdue for an equipment upgrade and wanted to get people's thoughts/recommendations. I have a 30K inground built around 1976 (bought the house in 2009). I have a pool/spa combo w/ a waterfall. My current equipment is listed in my signature. Over the past year I bought a Dolphin robot...

This is one of the more organized and nicest looking setups. Nice job! My OCD side likes the all black look, especially the all black coordinated chlorine bucket. I had a hard time figuring that out at first as it looked like it was attached to the PVC pipes at first.

Great information here...I bought the only caddy available from Doheny's, which apparently was the older model. I try to get the additional conversion parts from Maytronics to switch it over. Thanks again!

I have the same type of coping stone/bricks. The use the same mortar to install and fill in between usually. As far as pavers, are you replacing with new pavers? I currently have cement pool deck and am contemplating replacing with pavers when I tear it out to replace the plumbing. The...

I'm not an expert but have done enough repairs with brick/stone that I have used the Type S mortar. However, you'll have to chip away the old mortar to get a nice even consistent line. The cheap and likely temporary solution is to use adhesive (liquid nails for pavers/stone) and glue them...

OK - I'm a new owner of the Doheny Discover. I've used it twice so far but noted that only 2 buttons on the controller works (on/off and the 1/2/3 cycles). Is that right? It seems to do an OK job moving around the pool, no issues with the cord. I bought a caddy from Doheny, but it doesn't...

Shock and use some Green Out or Yellow Out Algae remover. Keep scrubbing the sides as well to prevent it from attaching. See also pool school on algae.

Here's one I got from the original owner...probably taken in the 80's.

Here's a far away pic...I'll post a really old one that you can see better next.

I have an old waterfall/pond that is fed directly by the filter return. I believe it was original to the pool in 1978. It is two levels (top level overfills into lower level, which overfills back into pool). It is constructed of stone w/ concrete and rebar supporting the top level. I have...

I've had some similar questions and here's what I've found: 1. When do you know it is time to replaster / regunite your pool? Look for cracks, pitting, change of color in the gunite. 2. Is there an optimum time of year to have the repairs done? (spring / summer / fall) I've been told that...
