    My Pentair Mobiletouch 2 screen is starting to die. Like with all Pentair equipment expensive, $1400 to replace. Is there a newer type of control available for around the same price or can I get the screen somewhere?

    IC 60 reports 0 salt

    Hi, I have the same issue. The Screenlogic app shows IC 60 reports 0 salt, but CAN change the % settings. But my power center doesnt have a Com port connection. The Intellichlor plugs right into the Com board in J7. See pics. Am I missing something? AFAIK, the Salt level never worked. The...

    Pentair IC 40 Intellichlor Communication troubleshooting

    Ok, got a new flow switch, it had 4 wires. There was a wiring diagram that showed how to connect 3 wires to it. However, this didnt fix it. In fact, on the Amazon page, it says "This part will not fix low salt readings" .

    Pentair IC 40 Intellichlor Communication troubleshooting

    Hi Jim Yes, I can operate all lights, pumps etc from the ScreenLogic app, so the RS-485 Bus is working. I have internal board Pentair Water PCBA 521593. The antennas plug into that as well. Sure seems like all pins of the 4 pins of J20 are connected. I just jiggled all the wires that were...

    Pentair IC 40 Intellichlor Communication troubleshooting

    Hi I have a Pentair IC40, and it seems to work, lights are all solid green, it just doesnt communicate with the Screenlogic App any longer. I know it did at one time but cant say when.

    Pentair GloBrite Light issue

    I'm sure Ill be giving Pool Tone a try. I have NO faith in these GloBrites. My question was really more about what could cause it to turn brown like that? Did it explode? Was the pool water too warm? I've had others fail with the seal broken and water is in it, they didn't look like this...

    New Pentair Protocol adaptor doesnt report telemetry

    Success!! Jim , One you got me dialed into how to troubleshoot, it was easy to see what was going on. There was a wire plugged into the J1 com port that didn't connect to anything, causing the whole thing to fail. The J2 port connects to the serial antennas. That being said, someone had also...

    New Pentair Protocol adaptor doesnt report telemetry

    OK, SO, I've disconnected everything except the "Filter Pump" and Power to the board. Note that is this seems to be a secondary board on top of the one with the buttons form the front panel. Semi-pro tip, label your wires when disconnecting so you know where they go back to. I set the panel...

    New Pentair Protocol adaptor doesnt report telemetry

    So I see where the wires from the antenna and pump all come into the "Surge Board" (Pentair Surge Board PCBA 521218) , there a green light on it that's lit. From that there's one wire to the comm connection on the main panel. I assume when the green light is lit, it has power. So, if , say, I...
