Now that seems like a viable alternative if I had a dedicated suction line. Unfortunately I do not have one. Wish there was a way to add one but it seems like it would be an expensive undertaking as there is no way to access my pool plumbing because of the concrete decking. What I meant by a...

That's a lot of money per year but looking at the big picture, it makes sense even though I don't like it one bit. My personal experience has been that with my pool, equipment, and frequency of use, I run the Dolphin several times a day, and by the time I get home, I at most have to use a net to...

I hear you Steve, and I have had very good experiences with them as well. They have replaced the control unit 2 previous times where they just sent me a replacement, however when it was suspected the cable was at fault on the 3rd warranty claim they said it needed to be taken to a local dealer...

I was hoping maybe there was a plug and play option. I hadn't looked closely at the existing white joint that I thought was the swivel. I was hoping perhaps it could be disassembled from there and a swivel screwed in its place. If it requires cutting the cable, I agree with you, probably not a...

Apologies if this has already been asked and answered. I searched and could not find. I have a Dolphin S300 pool robot. About 4 or 5 months ago I had a local pool supply company repair it under warranty. The 2 year warranty has since expired. They replaced the power supply/control unit and the...

I am sure most of you with Maytronics pool cleaners have dealt with this at one time or another. Its my turn now. My Dolphin S300 has stopped working yet again for the 4th time. Three times it was the control unit, once the blue cable, and now its out of warranty. I don't think it would matter...

No it does not have a salt test on it. I got a little digital tester pen looking thing a while back to test against the Pentair equipment accuracy. They are usually within 100 ppm of each other.

The salinity I measure once a week, usually Wednesdays via a Poolmaster 5 way kit and of course what my Screenlogic app reports. The last time I measured with the kit it was in the 3800 range. That was last week and yes, its a little high but with the cell not working I thought it was perhaps...

Thanks for the reply Jim. I did reach out to Pentair via their online form but haven't heard back yet. I am sure calling them will probably be faster but they are closed by the time I leave the office. Checked my paperwork and the "in service date" actually puts the age of the cell at a year and...

Yes, the salt level is fine, maybe a little high but all chemicals are within specs. I suppose the cell could have died prematurely. It is literally a little over 2 years old and only 40% used.

Yes, all equipment was registered. Pentair has repaired LED lights recently under warranty.

I apologize in advance as I imagine this has been asked and answered a thousand times but I could not find an answer after searching the threads. My setup - 18k saltwater fiberglass pool with Pentair Intellitouch/Screenlogic automation and of course the IC40 salt cell. So recently during my...

Thanks buddy!

I have the Pentair Easy Touch panel with the Screen Logic 2 automation system. What I am wondering is if its possible to program into the schedules for my variable speed pump to run at different speeds? I have learned through YouTube videos how to use most of my equipment, but that one...

Hey, thanks for the reply! So my lights are actually the Microbrites. Pentair did in fact send out a crew but they weren't actual Pentair techs, just a local Pentair authorized repair company. They initially arrived to repair "one light" even though I described to Pentair the fact that one light...

So I started some threads recently looking for help syncing my Pentair pool lights. I have 3 lights in my 16x35 Barrier Reef fiberglass pool. Its been in service just over a year. Recently, maybe 3 months ago one of my lights started looking yellowish when it should be white. Then a second did...

At 350 bucks each, they should last a few years, but do tell about these Florida Sunseekers. Is that a direct replacement for a Globrite?

Yes I have a contract that shows everything but it doesn't show model numbers of the equipment, but it's all legit Pentair equipment. As it turns out that isn't so great because the lights didn't make it a year, lol.

Thanks for the reply! Well I didn't get a special tool but that doesn't mean a whole lot because my contractor as it turns out didn't do a whole lot right. I have 3 Pentair lights, plus all my equipment they installed is Pentair so I guess I should qualify for the 3 year warranty. I just hope I...

I have LED color lighting in my roughly one year old pool that I am having issues with. I previously posted asking for help in synching the lights as they were appearing to be out of sync. Whites were looking a little yellow at times. Well since then I have discovered that it isn't a sync issue...

Thank you for the suggestion. Just making sure it isn't a typo but you say 31 times? Is that counting the initial "turn on"? Do I have to wait for the lights to actually turn on or off? I ask this because I am doing it from my phone using the Screen Logic 2 software and have the Easy Touch...

I have a new fiberglass pool as well and coming out of my first "off" season I noticed brown spots at the bottom and steps of my pool. Looking closer it looks as if something metal was left on concrete for months and allowed to rust and removed but left a stain behind. I brushed it with my...

I presume it should be under warranty however the waters are a little muddied so to speak. We had a falling out with our pool contractor. We had to get a lawyer involved over some construction issues they came up short on so we have no relationship with the company and do not want them on my...

Here is the gas meter and lines going to the heater.

I noticed recently that my Pentair LED pool lights are not quite as "white" as they used to be. Two of them look a little yellowish. Upon closer inspection wearing googles and getting up close I can see that two of them have a couple of red led dots lit up within the many dots that are within...

I did end up replacing the thermal regulator valve (thing that looks like a car thermostat with spring attached). When I removed it to inspect it it had some rust or some other kind of buildup on it that looked like it was restricting the opening and closing of it. Put in a new Pentair kit with...

When I got home I did check to make sure the temperature was set to the maximum on the actual unit. It was actually at 99 so I was hopeful that was my whole problem. I changed it to the max of 104 and the problem persisted. I tried to post the pictures you requested but it says the uploaded...

I will get that information when I get home later today and some pics. It seems it should not have issues being relatively new. Thanks for the feedback.
