    Leslie's Salt Update?

    right?? not a fan of the "new and improved" salt from leslies. i don't go through a ton of salt here in texas typically...so i still have 2 bags left of the 3 that i bought back in june. i won't be buying any more from leslies. the removal of the perforations on the corner made me SMH as...

    Intellivalve Dilemma

    interesting! thanks for the pics, those are awesome. i'm hoping mine will be ok installed face up now that i have the whole pad under a cover. very little rain gets in there at all anymore. i built the cover for it back in spring of 2023. i just took off the intellivalve on the suction...

    Intellivalve Dilemma

    original install was november 2019. both intellivalves were replaced under warranty in 2022. warranty is from original install date, which has passed. when i run it while it's off the 3 way, it stops at the same spot. just shy of where it needs to be. i also tried re-programming the...

    Intellivalve Dilemma

    And here it is back together..showing the little bit of water that's making it through to the spa side.

    Intellivalve Dilemma

    Here is a video explaining my issue. Figured it would be easier to do that than try to type it out. Basically...the intellivalve when stopped at the limit for the right side going to the spa, it doesn't quite come far enough. So a little water is going to the spa when in pool mode. Not...

    Is a 7' bench in the deep end over kill if i already have a sun ledge? 20x45x36 L shape

    up to you and how you think your family will use the pool. we have a wrap around bench all along the deep end. i opted for lots of seating because our pool if basically just for recreation and relaxing. we do not "swim laps".

    Looking for Microbrite Alternatives

    theoretically, yes i would agree. i have yet to find any threads on here from someone who has actually done it. i'm trying to get someone with first hand experience in replacing the microbrites with a different, non-pentair microbrite, light.

    Looking for Microbrite Alternatives

    Looking for someone who has actually successfully replaced their microbrite lights with another brand. Pool was built in 2019 and I had 2 of the 4 lights replaced under warranty before it ran out. I'm down to 3 lights working now. These things are seriously a POS...I rarely ever even turn...

    Leslie's Salt Update?

    I have always used Leslie's bags of salt and have had no issues over the years. We have gotten a metric ton of rain over the past few months and I've gone through all my bags. I went up and bought 3 more bags to have some on hand for the next inevitable deluge and noticed the bags had changed...

    IntelliCenter2 Migration to Pentair Home

    I migrated to the new app the other day and I totally regret migrating. I realize that they will likely force everyone to move over...but at least I could have stayed on the old app a bit longer. It's not intuitive to navigate at all. I find just simply touching the right area to navigate or...

    Speakers are in the ground. Minor issue.

    Thanks, the runs should be short enough. I'll give branching off for the new speakers a try and see how it does.

    Speakers are in the ground. Minor issue.

    Meaning you ran a separate 2 conductor wire for each pair, using a wire nut connecting them all to the sub? May have to re-think adding 2 more speakers, if that will be what I have to do. It would be a major PITA to do that with my set up. I was hoping I could wire the new satellites off of...

    Speakers are in the ground. Minor issue.

    @Cephrael how do you have your other 2 speakers connected? I have the same system, but just 2 speakers and the sub. i'd like to add 2 more of the satellites. do each of the sets of 2 speakers wired back to the sub?

    Intellivalve disassembly

    So in case anyone is curious.. this is what it's doing. it's like it's slightly open to the right, when it's all the way over to the left...letting water and from the sound of it, air, through. that is not the suction side...but i imagine some air is getting through if water is.

    Intellivalve disassembly

    Has anyone here ever taken one of these apart? Any tips or things to look out for? Both of mine have previously been replaced under warranty, but now one of the new ones is acting up again. I think it's allowing water to come through both directions somewhat, even when it's completely closed...

    Intellivalve Trouble

    We were on vacation for a week and upon our return, both the intake and return intellivalves "seem" to be dead. No lights on at all. I have checked the wires and both seem intact all the way into the intellicenter board. I killed the power and unplugged them and plugged them back into the...

    very nice.. I'm liking that circle design, very unique for sure. Good job on the different height benches in the spa. We did that as well and it has been nice.

    Can you please measure the minimum seat height at the back of the seat? I'm trying to see if the seat will be in or out of the water on my tanning ledge. :unsure:
