Yea great point! If Pentair ever forces an update and nodejs hasn't updated yet, I will literally block its access to the internet, downgrade it, and then just use nodejs like I already do for everything. It really is THAT good. I don't touch the Pentair app unless I'm away from home - and I...

If you do use nodejs-poolController, you can expand its customization even further very easily with some python. However, I would just use Intellicenter to connect to nodejs since you already have it and it will be so much quicker - it allows for those sunrise/sunset offsets you're looking for...

Last time I installed a major Intellicenter firmware update, intellicenter stopped working in all kinds of weird ways - so I downgraded back to 1.064 and have learned my lesson not to ever upgrade unless/until there is a very particular need to. Are there particular features/bug fixes you're...

Ironically, this was actually the source of some irritation I had with their marketing. It strongly implies it only detects humans which I was excited about so that my dog wouldn't set it off - but she does VERY consistently. I don't know if it would catch your dog if it literally took off...

Would I be crazy to just eliminate the duckbill altogether? From what I understand, this is to relieve the pressure off the hose so that it doesn't split, and if the rollers were to physically fall off, it would prevent the pool water from filling up the tank. My pump has 4 rollers and the tube...

I'm using full strength muriatic acid and these duck bills are constantly going bad within months, creating flow restriction. I got them on Amazon last year (search B00HEAW2ZU), but I realized that all of these prime sellers, including the one I bought from, are 3rd party with only 100ish...

The kitchen/bar was built using only 14ga welded steel with 12" spacing and hydrodefense cement board (fully waterproof rated rather than standard stuff). Then, instead of standard stucco, I used a stucco repair product that is loaded with polymer hardeners sort of like how modified thinsets are...

Thank you! I was a little nervous about that, but the fire pit has been finished for almost 2 years now (two full winters of doing fires) and we've had no burning or staining of the screen or surrounding area. I think it's just too tall to be a problem (about 16ft at that point?). Depending on...

The amount of space we gained back with each rack type thing we added has been huge - I'm a big fan of solutions that don't take up too much room! Not sure if we can post Amazon links here so I'll just give you the ASINs (search for it and it will pop up): B01DWSH1I0, B0CTKGXHSJ, B0817LN9QB...

So true - I had a friend build a house that was subject to the latest code so which included GFCI breakers... caused problems on fridges and power tools, anything with a compressor or motor. The electricians couldn't fix it in a code compliant way so he ended up just swapping the breaker on his...

Definitely! I didn't want to bomb the thread with boring detailed photos any more than I already did lol When we built the pool, I put in a separate 20a home run that also feeds the hanging LEDs and TVs. The circuit itself is not a GFCI breaker. Instead, the hanging lights and TV receptacles...

Hahaha - the wife made fun of me for saying that too. But we've got a baby boy due on Thanksgiving which means there's way too much other stuff I have to knock out! So the backyard IS done... for now lol

6 years have come and gone since some great people like @kimkats @Dirk @JamesW @MyAZPool and too many others to name first helped us plan and eventually bring a pool into reality. The pool has been in for 3 years, trouble free for literally all of them: We've never had algae or scaling, and it's...
