bigdav160 I recently had the same problem with my 1st IntelliPH installed about 14 months ago - pH was increasing and so was the water level in the reservoir. While the valve rattles around it lets water pass. Three months ago I installed another Intelliph at my rental property and noticed...

Tucsontico, I have 2 EasyTouch systems (home & rental) with IC40's and Intelliph's. The home system is about 24 months old. I was so pleased with the home setup I recently installed them in my rental. The Intelliph works so well 3 of my neighbors have installed them this spring. During the...

Turbo, I think your tile choices are great. Good luck with them! Just to reinforce your decision on the spa size, during dinner last night the wife asked about going in the spa. I told her it would take too long to heat and it was too cold to walk the 15 feet from the MBR! Now I know I'm...

Welcome to TFP from a few miles north of you - Saddlebrooke Ranch. Right by you are a few of our favorite hangouts (Amarsi, Harvest Moon and Ace Hardware). Good luck with the build. Who are you using? The coping and tile choices are terrific. Is the water line tile real or the ceramic look...

After a week of running, I have found a couple of funnies. One of the new great features is the ability to calibrate the temp sensors from the Autelis. Since I operate a weather station (see sig), accurate temperatures are easily available. My ET has 3 temp sensors (air, water and solar)...

Jtech1 - It is a web interface to the series buss. It does not initiate any control operations unless told to do so. Each time a screen is opened it queries the ET to refresh. Alarms can be set to notify you via email when things occur - pool on, spa on, pool temp, spa temp. To the best of...

Hulla - you have 2 choices: 1. The ET should have a GFCI outlet on the side. Get an outside outlet cover from HD or Lowes or 2. Hard wire it into the Control Panel relay in the ET. I chose the latter because I don't like plugging things in outdoors. In either case, it needs power 24/7.

I realize this an old thread but I thought an update with my experience to date might be useful. The Autelis system has been running flawlessly now for 7 months. In late March the solar panels were installed. At the same time I reinstalled the IntelliChlor 40. The infloor cleaning system...

MITS, Please stop posts like this. We don't need anymore snowbirds! :-D

BTW, how did you get yours to send text messages?

CraigMW, This thing is slick! I can't believe how easy it was to set up, other than the WAN. The user interface is really self explanatory. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I also use my iPhone/iPad for controlling my HT system. But I've found it not conducive to old eyes and big thumbs...

CraigMW, Never mind! I figured it out. I was trying to make a simple problem difficult. And, I succeeded for awhile. Everything works according to Hoyle. Thanks for the offer to help.

The ET8 and Autelis have been up and running now for over a week. I must say I'm delighted with the finished product. I have tried accessing from my 3 computers, 2 iPads and 2 iPhones. Everythings works fine. The only thing I don't like is its wants to be accessed via Chrome from the...

Chris, Thanks

The repair man fixed the pump today. He called me ahead of time so I could disconnect the Autelis. He wanted to be sure the pump fix solved the problem. Apparently, Pentair is very strict about not having 3rd party hardware connected to their systems. Having run a large manufacturing...

CraigMW, Many thanks. I'm trying to educate myself so I'm not an "unconcious incompetent" - you don't know what you don't know! Today the Pentair repair guy showed up with the new MB. No go! It seems its the pump controller. Later I confirmed it with the Autelis. After he was done...

According to my pool repair guy, who does warranty work for Pentair, connecting any non Pentair equipment to the ET will void the warranty. He knows I'm going to use the Autelis system. Maybe he's trying to scare me. However, even if it does void the warranty, the price difference between it...

CraigMW, Yeah, the motherboard is a bummer. While the ET is not straight forward to program, I didn't think it was all that hard. Until I contacted Pentair I thought I was loosing my edge. The repair guy will be here next week once he receives the new board. In the mean time, the VS pump...

I bit the bullet and purchased the last wireless Autelis system in inventory for my Pentair/iPhone. Originally, their website said the wireless kit was out of stock. When I inquired about availability I was told they had one left. If that sold, they could help me with a DIY solution until...

Yes. That's the 2nd one I replaced in 3 years.

I had similar symptoms last week. Does the motor hum before tripping the breaker? If so, check the starting capacitor. That's the big hump on top of the motor near the rear. They have a tendency to short out when they fail - tripping breakers.

CraigMW, Very cool. I think I'm sold!

CraigMW, It appears Autelis is updating the firmware with some of the features we requested. That maybe enough to push me over the edge. I'm going to talk to my PB today.

Just-a-PB, That seems just like the Autelis approach. True?

CraigMW, Thanks for you insight. Did Autelis ever give you any feedback on the IntelliChlor or Intellflo features? As I alluded to in my post to Just-a-PB, this is no a simple decision. With your Andoid, you didn't have much of a choice. Do I go with a complete, all one vendor, complex...

Just-a-PB, I appreciate your point of view. A decision hasn't been made yet. My PB is looking into the Autelis system. Until now he has installed the SL2 exclusively. If it were not for this thread the SL2 would have been a no brainer. The major pluses to the SL2 are it can control almost...
