I sent him the link so he can see some of the opinions. I told him that this was a great resource for all things swimming pool related. He gets a little busy with work kids and the new home but I think he will pop in.

These were my thoughts as well, but I am not footing the bill. Other than the intellicenter, what other options are there? The easy touch seems similar but without the touchscreen interface. Maybe he can save a little money going this route? Pentair seems to have a pump now that has some type...

Greetings! Thanks for chiming in. His pool was running old style timer and no SWG. No spa, just the single pool. He does like the idea of control via the phone app but there doesnt seem to be alot to control. Lights color/schedule - SWG - pool pump (which could be programmed on the pump itself)...

My good friend is finishing a concrete pool remodel (pool is originally from the 70s) for his new home. They added a shallow step and a bench, updated plumbing, and installed a proper skimmer. He will install 2 leds on the shelf and 3 in the pool. He is planning on installing a pentair...

I vote 1 yet as others have stated, both interfaces need some work. I have flipped back and forth depending on needs or if the app is acting up. Would love to see Pentair put some work into polishing it all up. Get the bugs fixed and lets add some more bells and whistles!!

Still waiting on the tech guy to come “check things out” will report once I have more info.

I reopened my ticket (or opened a new one) with pentair. Guy I spoke with said he didnt know of any incompatibilities with iph and ic60 (or 40). Lets see what they do this time around. I need a solution that will last amd not one that will just linger until the warranty runs out. @Dirk do you...

At 30% im dropping from 19 to 12 in 3 days time. I picked up some OT at work so I had not added any liquid chlorine. I still have to try a sample from the jet to compare

Morning! I saw no noticeable drop in FC this morning vs last night. Levels were pretty high as I usually add liquid chlorine at the beginning of the week. I work at the Fire Dept on a 24hr shift so In case I get stuck at work I added half a jug. Since I have to add manually the FC fluctuates...

I will solder and heatshrink that connection. connections in the intellicenter are made with the same molex connector that the original pigtail used. The matching connector to the small pigtail that comes out of the surge board. I used 16AWG copper which is what the intellichlor wire said on...

@Dirk thanks for all the suggestions!! they have swapped out intelliph control board 3 times counting the burned out one. The surge board was only swapped out once after it looked damaged as well. I can run a few OCLT in case they ask, good idea. I thought about the wiring but I checked my...

Current surge board

Created a new post explaining as best I could. Thanks again! https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/intellicenter-ic60-intelliph-problems.255696/

I run an intellicenter with intelliph and an IC60 which have been giving me trouble since pool was started 18 months ago. I am running into 3 issues which may not all be related but I am suspect as Pentair seems to have been having issues with Iph and larger cells. I run my pump 24/7 which...

I will start over and try to explain it in first post

I should add, my pool is only 15,000g. At 100% running 24hrs/day that IC60 should be making large amounts of excess chlorine

I can create a new post if you think thats best. I figure its related to this issue though. Perhaps the iph trouble causes some damage to the surge card? Or could it be the opposite and the surge card causes the damage to the iph? Maybe its totally unrelated and it was just coincidence? I do...

@ogdento is there a way I can test the surge board to find out whats going on with it? My cell acts like it’s working fine yet it is not creating (or not creating the correct amount of) chlorine. It was easy to isolate it as a problem when it had shorted or overheated components but as of now it...

Your right I painted it backwards. There is still no continuity from vdc to communication. Actually I tested between all four points to each other and there was no continuity on any.

No continuity between either dc pins with data pins. At least not on this iph board.

Got it! Im comfortable using the meter just wasnt sure where to probe. Let me pull the faceplate off to get to the board

@ogdento can you explain where to test for continuity? I unplugged the iph for now and just plugged the cell directly into the port I wired to my jbox. I can easily replace to run some tests. I can test inside the intellicenter low voltage compartment right on the surge card also.

I love soldering connections! I did this to make swapping out a bad valve easier. I wasnt sure what the longevity is on these intellivalves. The terminal block also sits inside a sealed jbox. All wires were crimped with ferrules as well which should further shield them. I am not even sure...
