Thanks, Jeff. Yes, for sure they designed it to turn off when the spa or spillway is turned on. That makes sense, since the system doesn't know where you plumped the cleaner pump intake. However, when my scheduled Spillway program finishes running, the system reverts back to running Pool (same...

Unfortunately for me, that might not be the worst case. When we went to 2.006 and started having problems, we had pumps drop completely when reverting to 1.064.

I haven't, and wouldn't be surprised at all if that worked. I will probably give it a shot. I'm just trying to find out if this is a known issue with the master cleaner and if it's considered a bug. It would be a piece of the puzzle in deciding whether to upgrade to 2.017, or stick with 1.064...

while you may be right about overlapping schedules (although I have several others without any problems), that doesn't seem to be the cause here. I can manually start the cleaner, then manually start the spillway, and when I turn off the spillway, the cleaner does not turn back on, even though...

Question for any master Intellicenter gurus: Why does the cleaner not come back on after the spillway runs in an overlapping schedule? Here's the schedule scenario: Pool: 12pm - 6pm Cleaner: 1pm-6pm Spillway: 2pm-3pm Pool turns on at noon; Cleaner turns on at 1pm and turns off at 2pm while...

Nevermind! Solved. I updated my admin password from the default, and next time I looked Chemistry history was showing. Not sure if the two are connected, but my issue has gone away. Now, if someone could tell me how to delete a post! Anyone else not able to see Chemistry History on the...

Thanks everyone. Nesting the schedule took care of it, and I also now have a better understanding how my panel is wired. Jim, in my case it's wired differently than yours. The relay in the upper LEFT corner (when facing the panel) is the pool/spa/spillway relay, to which they've also wired...

The installer just did what I asked, which was to have a way to run the pool at a different speed. Unfortunately, I cannot stand the equipment/service company owner and don't want to ask him questions. But the installer is actually pretty good. I just don't have access to him. I can see that...

I had the equipment installers add a "pool high" feature circuit so we can have 2 schedules with different pump speeds ("pool" and "pool high"). When we run "pool high", it is not triggering the relay that provides power to intellichem, which is wired to the top left relay (we have the 10-relay...

Sorry, slight misnomer in the subject, as we have not yet added salt and are currently "fresh". We are just past start up (in second month), but have not added salt because we need to drain 1/3 of the water soon to do a small repair, so we did not want to have to correct the salt twice. But we...

They dont say it specifically. As I said, it's kind of ambiguous. The start up page says: "After the 4th day, the Calcium Hardness level should be adjusted slowly over the 28 day period not to exceed 200 PPM." There's nothing specifically saying to raise it afterward. But maybe that's just...

Appreciate the replies, but I'm not really worried about start up. For sure, we'll be following guidelines for the next couple weeks. It's after startup that I'm wondering about, where it seems like Pebble Plus is saying keep it under 200, but Pool Math suggests a much higher level.

To me, the Pebble Plus start up page makes it sound like I should keep it under 200 going forward, but it's a little ambiguous...

Just recently filled a new pool with water and am kind of looking over the shoulder of the start up company. Was checking calcium hardness with the TF-Pro test kit, and came out to 150. Pebble Plus start up says 150 is good (Start Up | Pebble Plus), and to keep it under 200. Went to enter...

Thanks for the info. The installer working for my PB is adamant that "the only problems I've had with ETI heaters is when there's a bypass". I can't generate a good argument to the contrary, so letting him plumb without a bypass.

Getting ready to set equipment for pool with spa with a shared Pentair ETI 400 High Efficiency Heater (BTW, this thing is massive compared to the Mastertemp, at least twice as large). The equipment guy indicated that it would be plumbed such that water is flowing through the heater anytime the...

The hole is 12“ deep, so there’s something like 18 cubic feet (a bit less due to the drain displacement). You think a hydraulic cement is the right solution here? Thank you!

Hello concrete experts! We shot gunite 2 days ago and the PB decided to leave a 3’x6’ hole around the deep end channel drain because it had not been set parallel to the wall. They wanted to come out later and straighten the plumbing. I think they are planning to use some kind of Quikrete type...

So, it does need (or would benefit from) UV of some kind, right? Our schedule will not allow for consistent opening/closing of the cover as your recommending. Would a UV system help in that case?

bingo... there's my answer! we are doing an auto cover (although the vault is in the shallow end), so having the outlet at the deep end, where the cover stops, is what I would need. didn't even think about that. thanks!

Hi all, I have read a lot on here about UV systems; enough that I eliminated the UV system on a change order with the PB. We are installing 50'x16 w/spa, SWG, 2-tank Intellichem and auto cover, and I have no problem adding UV back in if it will provide any benefit at all. I understand that our...

The pool will have an automatic cover, so less than normal evaporation. Besides the look, I also would like a rounded edge/corner to reduce wear on the cover. A decent radius bullnose easier to achieve on a 2" thick slab than on a 3/8" tile. We would use something hard and as smooth as...

Just finished digging a 50x16 pool with spa. The spa will be within the pool rectangle, and the two inside spa walls will be spillways, so in constant contact with saltwater (partially submerged even). We would like to use double bullnose coping stones on top of the spa wall, instead of tile...

We just finished digging and are about to lay out plumbing and electrical. I will be installing a pressure-side pool cleaner for now, but we are setting everything up for a robot as well, in case we decide to make a change. I'm familiar with pressure-side cleaners, but not robots. My pool is...

We are spec'ing out our pool equipment and am wondering if IC60 is enough. We are not trying to save money, we're already into it for well over $150K. What I don't want is my pump to run 24x7. As I've read here, I'm asking that the SWG be sized for 2X pool volume, Pool will be 50x16, 7.5-8'...
