This light flashes on-off-on-off-on-off during the relay "toggling" process (supposed to remain dark), and will not change to a different color selection. Just checked and it is on the same relay as the other 3 lights that are working properly, so it has to be the electronics in the light...

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with one of our Pentair microbrite pool lights. When I go to change the colors, this particular light flashes on and off as the relay resets, and will not accept a new program. Does this sound like a bad relay or a bad light?

Thanks for replying. The auto leveler has worked quite well with the exception of the leak caused by the crack in the PVC fitting. What a ridiculous amount of hassle caused by one small part that isn't replaceable without major destruction. I think they're going to have to remove at least one...

Hello TFP readers, we built a pool which was completed last summer, and signed off on taking possession of it on 8/16/2019. Less than a month later, we found that the pool was overfilling and I discovered that the built-in autofill had a crack in the PVC fitting. I posted about it on TFP in...

Yes. I added an entry under pumps for “cleaner.” Now I can run pump at 2700 only when I’m running the suction cleaner instead of at 2700 all the time. Probably save me a bit on electricity since I can toggle pool down to 1800-2000 now and even run for more hours. As for circuit function...

One more quick question, if anyone has a moment :) Does it matter in SLConfig if I use "floor cleaner" for the circuit function or "generic"?

Well, I accomplished the swap. It was much easier than anticipated. I am not sure why the pool builder originally thought the bubblers needed a motorized actuator to toggle between the bubbler line and the dump line, when that valve is basically a set and forget valve. Now, I can easily schedule...

I had a thought today... Does anyone ever put actuators on their valve between their skimmer and suction cleaner, so that they can have their automation system go into a daily "cleaning mode" for a couple hours a day (25% suction to skimmer & 75% suction to cleaner) and then switch over to full...

Found it. It may have been getting some extra sun due to the current sun angle, or the heat is reflecting off the wall behind it. Right now it’s shady at the panel and it’s reading 72 which is pretty accurate. An easy swap though if necessary now that I know where it is. Thanks for the help!

Quick question. We have an Easy Touch panel with Screen Logic interface on iPhone. Recently the air temperature has started reading high by about 10-20 degrees. Is the temp sensor for the water also the air sensor? I can’t locate a separate air sensor. Water temps seem correct.

Pentair replaced the switch under warranty. All good now.

That's what I gathered. I'll contact the Pentair rep.

Our pool was just refilled and our SWG is reading 0 PPM salt and the red “low salt” light is on. The proper salt level in the water has been verified. Our pool is 11,200 gallons and 8 bags of salt have been added/11.2k gals. Thinking this had something to do with the cold temps (water is around...

Thanks.... I will reach out, if for nothing more than to document it on my end for future warranty claims. It was plastered on a very hot day and I suspect that contributed to it.

We just had our pool built last summer, and the color was mottled and somewhat uneven... not severely but I wasn’t thrilled. The builder called the plaster contractor to have them work on the plaster. This week the pool was drained by the plaster company and, as it turns out, the entire pool...
