I missed this thread last year, it was great looking through it and seeing how it ended up, looking great! I'm in Suffolk also and have struggled with ground water at the pool in my old house given the water table in the majority of the city. The worst is hurricane with no power for the pump...

Didn't hear anything back from the forum but I still want to use it to vent. This has been a total pain, even getting someone that can reset the liner or sell me a new liner has been a pain. I'm told all season, boy we'd love to take care of your pools (I have multiple homes) but I can't get...

It's definitely a good market opportunity, the idea is becoming more and more comfortable for consumers as smart appliances, internet connected home security, other systems are bringing this idea closer to the surface, customers will start asking why not and Pentair is the furthest along and...

I would happily do that if only I could, I had no luck what so ever finding a shop that could do it. Worst are those listed as Pentair Automation service centers, I get on with one tech and he says we can't do it, another said Pentair never sent them what they needed so they don't bother...

Recently my 1.5HP super pump lost an impeller so it was serviced and a new seal kit was installed with the new impeller. Now the pump is leaking between the seal plate and motor mount plate, leaking as in a small stream of water. Had a pool service tech come out and he tightened the bolts...

I'm away on travel but my wife just dropped me a message to say our liner has a huge bubble in it and the pool water is down below the skimmer. Offhand it sounds like a liner leak of some kind, a significant one at that. I'm reaching out because the pool liner was installed about three years...

Now I'm wondering if there is more required, I went to order the programmer and at $99 it states the following "no software included - replacement hardware only". It's a minimum of $150 more for any software, I'm on hold now since I'm not sure which way to go with this.

I haven't actually tried it yet but if I read it right the firmware programmer itself comes with the software, this is the $99 dollar device linked to in the initial post.

Great contribution, time for a weekend project..

That is spooky timing, I've been looking around for weeks and calling everyone I know.. It was written after I posted mine, assume it was done to make sure it floats up as a thread.

I have had a very hard time finding local service centers able to flash Pentair Intellitouch systems. It's surprising because I looked up dealers that perform service on Pentair automation equipment and aside from one that said they should have the hardware but they don't I struck out...

I read about a couple of people not using the dlink adapter it comes with and instead just plugging into existing comms. It seems to work fine, the only challenge being that it runs on 192.168.1 or 192.168.2 (can't remember which) so first time you connect you need to make sure you are on the...

Thanks for all of the help.. I assumed that a 3 port actuator may allow three configurable stops giving me what I was looking for but it sounds like a 3 port simply can rotate 180 vs. 90 degrees with the same 2 stops total.

Thanks for the help, this will help shed some light on the possibilities. I will wait to order until you post and it sounds like it may save me some trial and error.

I am adding actuators to my pool to control the skimmer and main drain returns normally I will just open and close them but at times I want to control flow a little more with say one an additional setting for a partial open or close. Not sure if it matters but assuming Jandy 2 way valves are...

Re: Control your Jandy equipment from your PC with a $15 ada I don't want to hijack this thread but since it's related I'll toss out a post, I have an Intellitouch and it also uses RS-485 adn they have a similar $400+ RS-485 -> IP kit OEMed from HomeLogic that allows control of the Intellitouch...

Thanks for all of your help.. The company is based a few hours away so it looks like having this taken care of by them will be a bit of a challenge. I wanted to catch them before they came back but no luck. I picked an IC40 for this pool, assuming I'm going to do what you suggest myself would...

Thanks for the information, there are some great details here... I found that the pool cover is from Pool Cover Specialists, the rails are aluminum and they are underneath the coping. The pool was built with an older version of the same cover so the mechanism and everything is recessed in the...

I'm not sure what brand it is, the cover was paid for as part of closing for my new house, looking for the invoice now. They only cautioned about Salt, no mention about using other options or what is available if I already have Salt. I need to find the manufacturer and go from there...

Thanks for the pointer... I just started reading about the liquidator, I like the idea of something like that.. Sounds like a safe approach that will cover me if there is an issue with the cover and they deny a warranty claim because of the SWG.

Having an automatic pool cover on the pool in my new house replaced, it was paid for by the seller as part of closing since the old one doesn't work any longer. In any case the installers came out today to install the cover, due to ordering the improper cover they will be back but after my wife...

Thanks for the pointer, something like that may work, that seems to be the best option thus far. At one point I seem to remember Pentair had a purpose built cover for the Intelliflo but I may but I may be off base. I'm hoping someone with direct experience can comment since I know the Intelliflo...

I just recently purchased a new house with a pool and I'm looking to swap the pump for an Intelliflo VF and add a IntelliChlor. I currently run this configuration at my old house and love it however I built a small shed for my pool equipment at my old house to protect the Intelliflo among other...
