    How to perform firmware upgrade on Pentair* controllers

    Seems it would be doable if you had the correct chip libraries installed in the Arduino IDE and could connect from the Arduino board to the Pentair board. Is there a pinout available for the Pentair side? Would I be safe in assuming the pins would be the same as other 6-pin programming...

    Has anyone tried (or even better, been successful) using an Arduino as ISP to flash new firmware via the Arduino IDE?

    Swg cleaning stand

    3" Fernco Cap (The rubber one with the hose clamp) and the female threaded part of the union. I got mine from a plumbing supply house but if you've ever changed your cell, they come with extras. Grind/sand/cut the nubs off the union portion and press it into the Fernco. Tighten the clamp and...

    Cleaning tile

    There are products available at your nearest home improvement or tile store for cleaning up dried on thinset/grout on tile and stone. I've always used a mild acid solution myself. Typically 1 gallon of water and 3/4 to 1 cup of acid. MAKE SURE TO POUR THE ACID INTO THE WATER, ***NOT*** THE...

    Mastertemp 400 E05 error - cheap fix

    Yeah, it looks like water may be pooling at that particular edge of the board when it rains. I may pop the top off again and see if drilling a couple small drain holes might help.

    Mastertemp 400 E05 error - cheap fix

    I know there are a bunch of threads about E05 errors in these heaters but I just went through this whole exercise and what I discovered might help someone else. My E05 error started about 3 weeks ago. I swapped the SFS out, cleaned all the Crud out of the heater and put it back together...

    Intelliflo 4x160 stopped responding

    As soon as the kids get out of the pool (summer party) I'll nuke the config and start over. Hopefully that will rectify the problem. At this point, I'd be happy with just knowing for sure what the problem is with something more than "try ....."

    Intelliflo 4x160 stopped responding

    A quick Google search lists a bunch of drive failures pages and the same frustration I'm having with Pentair in getting parts/info to rectify the situation... Again, the drive will run the motor just fine, I have to turn it on and off manually as it won't "talk" to the EasyTouch panel.

    Intelliflo 4x160 stopped responding

    I've been looking for literally weeks for a solution to this problem and my frustration with Pentair in general is growing... I've got an EasyTouch panel talking to an IntelliFlo 4x160 pump.. Well, it *was* talking to the pump. The pump stopped responding to the panel about 5 weeks ago and...
