@MyAZPool and all other Pentair Intellicenter and Heater Users So, you buy this over priced automation system........expecting it to "run the world"...... and in reality it has major issues and bugs. One bug in particular is this: I have a heater bypass valve with an intellivalve hooked up...

In regards to 100W and 300W Pentair Transformers - they have a 12 13 and 14V configuration. Can I hook my intellibrite 5G's up the 14V wiring to get a "brighter" light in my pool. Same questions for the landscape lighting (Pentair landscape uplighting). why else would the option of Voltage be...

Anyone know how many watts each one of these pull?

OK, so here are my current levels for this week. I have not added anything except a little acid (which is a far cry from 1/4 gallon a day!!!!) FC - 10 CC - 0 pH - 7.7 TA - 50 CH - 320 CYA - 60 Salt - 3900 Temp - 80 CSI - -0.44 My TA has stabilized around 40 - 50 without having to add...

I have a 8' x 15' sun shelf that maintains around 6-8" of water. There is a significant difference of temperature of the water (it runs about 5-8 degrees hotter). I have one return on the shelf that moves water, but when I run my pump at 1000 rpm (which is approx. 18 hours a day) - I am not...

So.........to give a little background - Pool had water go in it for the 1st time on Memorial Day last year. I live in South Florida, so pool temps are typically mid to high 80's already. Last year in Aug through October I remember some 90's....(i do have a heat pump/chiller to help keep it in...

So - the pool is going into its 8th month of water in it. I had a issue in August - where of course, we went on vacation....pump stopped running for some reason.....and ALGAE. I did a SLAM when we got back and all was good for a couple of months. I guess between monsoon rains and water fills, I...

Anyone happen to have a spare connector for an intellivalve???? I managed to damage one of mine - and need one with a "pigtail" about a foot or longer. I can solder the wires..... Thanks!!!!

My city water is hitting 8 (or could be above) on a Taylor test kit............... everything else is in check. Couple of questions - 1- I need to put a pre filter on the fill line side of my plumbing. Not for the pool water but for the ice maker that also gets supplied by the water. 2 - Is...

@bdavis466 Question: I thought I saw something about removing the spring from a check valve. I have a pentair check valve hooked up to my heater plumbing. At this moment I have to run my XF pump at 2000 rpm in order for me to have the check valve open AND be able to still produce chlorine via...

@MyAZPool @bdavis466 I am in the process of installing some of my intellivalves. I have run 1/2" conduit underground to conceal the wires. Some of my valves wiring is not long enough to reach the Intellicenter panel. Does anyone think there will be a problem if I spliced and extended the wire...

I have a Taylor K-2005 Test Kit, with a speed stir. Which Taylor Model # do I get to add the FAS/DPD chlorine test? And is there any other tests to add to the 2005? Salt???? Thanks

@MyAZPool @bdavis466 I have my Ultratemp 140,000 btu w/chiller hooked up hooked up and talking to my intellicenter. via rs-485 The "chiller" setting is set at 88 and the heater setting is set at 78. It seems that around the chiller set point (88 degres) the unit (just the fan) will cycle on...

The Pentair auto fill can (with valve) states this in the manual: My question is - if i go with a 15' run of 2" static line with 2 90's and only reduce at the canister... do i increase water volume in static line, preventing any type of air lock???? What are the odd's of "airlock" anyway...

I am in the process of building a pool in South Florida and have a electrical question. Is it required and/or normal to have a circuit breaker in my main panel for the pool and then another breaker the same size in the automation/load center at the equipment pad? For example - I want to supply...

I want to install either a pentair intellilevel or a Jandy levelor in my new pool build. I know for the auto fill i am going to have a 2" static line going back to the equipment pad (that is were the main components for auto fill will be located). My question is.....how can i make my pool have...

Anyone ever seen these.....Use them.....???? What do you think?

Does anybody have or know if pentair globrite can come with a grey housing....not white?

Does anyone know where you can get these for anything cheaper than $3,000 each! They need to have a electronic burner, and be concrete (going to have a travertine deck). I can not find anything less that 3 grand :( I need 3

I was wondering what the average size of a pedestal should be for a fire/water bowl? L X W X H Thanks
