Ive had our pool up and running for 6 months, it took almost 3 years to build. I don’t have anything other than a heater, pump, cartridge filter and a light. I turn everything on manually with the exception of the variable speed pump that runs 24/7. Looking at SWG it looks like you need some...

Yes I currently have all Pentair equipment so would like to keep that all the same. That being said, I assume I need a power center with the salt cell. If I choose to purchase automation, do I still need the power center or does the automation take care of it? Also what type or automation? I...

Ok thanks for letting me know your thoughts. I was thinking the same thing and just wanted a little reassurance. Thanks again

I am done with my build thankfully after almost 3 years. The only pool contractor that would travel to my location and build it would not install a salt water system. We have been using pucks even though I have been on here for a while and know of the high cya levels, it is the only way he would...

Does anyone have any experience with Sutro vs the Sense?

Do you have the sense 1 or 2?

Thanks for the reply. Other somewhat glitching, is it close when comparing it to your Taylor kit?

Thanks for the update. I am still on the fence with this or maybe Sutro. I really like seeing numbers instead of trying to determine colors of drop tests. Let me know if you have anymore information or if it is not working properly. Thanks again!

Ok thanks. Every time I fill it runs 3 hours or so to get to the fill mark. Didn’t know how long the aeration would take to make a difference but now I know not to worry. Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply! If that is ok to do then great. I’m glad to hear that doesn’t make the ph increase. I’ve been reading about high ph and read a discussion about aeration rising ph, so I didn’t know if I was doing that accidentally. Thanks again!

Hi Splash! In ground vinyl lined.

Hello everyone, I just now got our pool up and running from just being built. I have a question regarding pool fill ups. I might have mistaking filled up the pool with a hose splashing from the top of the deck down to the pool the whole time causing a constant splash. I now have really high ph...

Are there any updates on this now that some of you have had this a while? I was looking to possibly get this or the Sutro. Thanks!

Thanks again James, I really appreciate your insight. I will set the max for 2450 and go down from there. Just curious, and maybe it depends for each pool, but at say 2450 will you see a lot of water movement visually?

3 days is about right Jim! We always say there is 2 seasons, winter and road construction. 😁

Jim, I have read several of your posts on various threads. You have helped literally thousands of people. Also, I too plan on running mine 24/7. I think we will have around 30,000 gallons, so hoping running at a low speed all the time generates chlorine all the time and turns the pool water...

Thanks Jim I appreciate all of your help and how with your vast knowledge, you are able to relate your words to my new pool owner language. Thanks for helping to ease my mind. Thanks again!

Thanks for the response! This is for a brand new install so will I still need the flow gauge? What size of pipe do you have?

Well I ended up finding the only pump around that I could get in the next week or so. Everything else was a minimum of 8 weeks out. I need one before then. I ended up getting the pentair intelliflo VSF 011056. Hopefully it’s ok. I’m somewhat nervous that it is 3.95hp with my 1 1/2” lines…. I...

James, Would the pentair i2 be a good option? I can’t find any other models in stock.

Thanks. I think I understand the setups now. Thanks again for all of everyone’s help

So am I looking at this correct? Is that system $3500?

Ok thanks for the reply and why I was confused. Looking at all the options, I thought there was a all in one option so to speak. So I need a intellicenter to do both automation and mobile control. Thanks!

Good Afternoon, Can someone please explain the pentair automation to me. I’m a little bit confused. To use my phone to control pool equipment, do I need intellitouch and screen logic both or just the intellitouch? Thank you in advance!

I’m having trouble finding a place that has the XF in stock.

James, I understand what you are saying now. Sorry I’m still learning quite a bit so I appreciate your patience. Thank you! Below is what I was looking at on there website.

Ok thanks. Any thoughts about the Pentair VSF model?

Ok I will see if I can get ahold of them tomorrow. Do you happen to know what the difference between intelliflow XR and the regular intlliflow is? Also was doing some reading on the vsf model. Would that be too much for my needs?

Thanks again James. Would you be able to post some links to where to buy the pump and intellicenter? I have googled both but several versions come up. Also, with the intellicenter panel, can I feed a stand alone hot tub out of that as well with a breaker? I don’t want it automated I just...
