    Pentair Stickers?

    Anybody know where I could purchase another sheet of the Pentair stickers that come with the EasyTouch controller. These are the stickers that say "Pool Light", "Pump", etc that you can stick on the AUX buttons to label them?

    Pentair SWCG Disabled?

    I added salt to my pool, and wanted to turn off the SWCG until it dissolves. I have an EasyTouch, IntelliFlo, and IC20. Under Settings on the EasyTouch for the IC20, it shows an "Enabled" Yes/No setting...along with the swcg percentage. I was assuming if I changed "Enabled" to No under...

    Final Payment due - leaky valve

    Our pool build is finished, and the PB is coming out this week to review and collect final payment. However, I noticed today that one of the return ball valves leaks when I "partially close" it. When we run the pressure side cleaner, I partial close the returns to divert more pressure to the...

    Running pump for first time

    PB is nearing completion of our build. They will be running the pump for the first time in a week or so. During the build, it was rainy quite a bit, and I saw mud and even a stray rock or two get into some of the plumbing. Also, the main drains had quite a bit of dirt and tree debris fall in...

    House downspouts routed next to pool?

    Our pool is currently being built, and we have 3 house downspout drain tiles that had to be dug up. The PB has not mentioned his exact plans for re-burying, but I have a feeling he is going to use part of the pool overdig to run the drain tiles. If you look in the attached picture, you will...

    Skimmers and Returns all on one side?

    Our PB will be starting soon, once the weather clears up. His foreman came out last week and looked the site over. He seems really good. However, one thing he mentioned seemed odd. Our pool will be a 18' x 35' freeform lagoon shaped pool. He said for the last few years, they have started...

    EasyTouch Mounting

    Getting ready to have an EasyTouch 8 installed on the side of our house. PB indicated he could fasten to our vinyl siding or put on a separate post next to the house. Was leaning towards having it directly on the house for maximum stability and protection from the elements (roof overhang...

    Sand really this good?

    We have signed with our PB, and had our first visit with the foreman. He seemed really good and knowledgeable. He strongly recommended the Pentair Triton II sand filter instead of our current selection of a 420 cartridge filter. He said with all the spring pollen of the midwest, we would need...

    Color Swim?

    Our PB is getting ready to start our build. We will be having a VS pump, EasyTouch 8, 2 Intellibrite 5g LEDs, and 1 Intellibrite Landscape LED. I was reading the EasyTouch manual, and it mentioned a "Color Swim" feature when using 2 5g led's in a pool. Sounds like the controller will give the...
