Moved from here.. IntelliConnect review/warnings - Seeking an alternative Hi, I am using the Pentair Home app. I had no trouble connecting my lights that are connected to one of the 2 relays. However, the lights don't seem switch to the colors I select on the app. Since the pool has only been...

I apologize in advance if this is posted in the incorrect area. Since we are having a screen enclosure erected around the pool, it seemed like it would be a good idea to have a hose bib inside the enclosed area. This way instead of having to run the hose through a screen door when we want to...

I spoke with one of the workers and he told me they will repair the pipe. It is in the corner in the shallow end. Does the pipe need to be re-routed? I am waiting to hear back from the PM but the worker made it seem like they will repair and have it run at bottom of pool.

Hi, We are getting closer to breaking ground on our pool. Our pool finish will be hydrazzo and the deck will be travertine pavers. I would appreciate feedback on the following, and any other similar items. I have discussed the umbrella holders with the PB and having them bonded but not the...

Hi, Hopefully I am posting this in the correct area. we are getting 6x6 waterline tiles and my wife wants to mix in some decorative tiles every few tiles. The ones she liked from the company our PB uses for tiles is ridiculous at $28/tile! They told him they have to be done in Arizona and take...

We are getting close to zeroing in on hiring a builder. Trying to work through a few questions: The builder said with a sun shelf he doesn't usually add an overflow line as it sits at the back of the skimmer and will mess with the water level of the shelf. I let him know I'm concerned as there...

So if i look on a website such as INYO and see a heat pump listed at $4k (free shipping) the exact pump the PB is quoting at $6.4K is there any reason not to buy it myself after the PB is finished? I relize I need to hire a certified installer but that still has to be a lot cheaper. Am I missing...

I like the one with the straight edges vs the rounded edges. does each type have a specific name?

Not much info when I do a search on here except one older thread. I asked one of the PB's I'm getting quotes from for a smoother interrior fininsh and he mentioned Aquabright Eco-Finish. Today he said they are doing Alpha Pool Systems with the Ec0-Finish since it is smoother, etc I was...

We are in the planning stages of adding a pool with a screened in enclosure. I have a Kamado Joe that burns lump charcoal which produces ash. I would prefer to keep the Kamado Joe under the screened in enclosure. At the moment it just sits on the stand it came with. Do you guys put a pad under...

Moved from HERE. Hi, so I have questions concerning simple automation. I plan to build a pool with no spa and the only water feature being a bubbler (no light) on the sunshelf. I plan on two colored LED lights inside the pool, ichlor swcg, and maybe a heat pump. can I use the intelliconnect...

We have 2 designs from different PB's that we like but I'm sure can still be improved upon. Pool is to be 16 x 28 with a sunshelf that sits outside the 16x28 swim area. It will be a sport pool and thinking one shallow end (one by the shelf) 3.5' and the 6' in the middle and 4' in the other...

Searching on here and online I only see 16x28 listed for oval and free form pools. Is there any reason a gunite geometrical pool couldn’t be this size? Is it just that rectangular 2:1 ratios look better optically? mouth house is 34 feet wide so we don’t want to go longer than 28’ and leave 3’...

Hi, We live in Tampa and are in the process of speaking with PB's and plan on building a screen enclosure. Call it 34' wide and 30' deep. I know we need the smaller ratio for the tiny no seeums....have seen people say 17/14 or 20x20. (Any thoughts?) We also have oak trees all the way at the...

We are renting a vacation house for a week. The pool has a finish with what looks like tiny black specs. It is tearing my youngest sons feet up and has cut me once. Not a finish I want! Just curious if anyone knows what it is?

Looking to build a simple rectangular 14x28 with no water features. The PB that came y said he would provide a 3d design etc. However, he simply put some quotes together in excel and forwarded it :rolleyes:, and not very detailed at that. I suppose i should go back with additional questions for...

Hi, Had my first PB visit this morning and waiting on formal estimate. the next couple of weeks have more consultation appointments. In the mean time was hoping to get some ideas/thoughts/suggestions on a few things. We have a wood deck that is 16x16 out the sliding glass door that will be...

Hi All, I have been lurking for a bit and reading. We are open to fiberglass or concrete. We are in the process of calling builders to setup quotes. I came across one builder offering "specials" of course these sound good to the novice but feel like there must be a catch. Is it the pentair...
