    Moving to automation from old mechanical Internatic clock

    Does NJSPC work with the new Intelliflo3? It appears it only has wi-fi on board?

    Review: New Pentair IntelliFlo3 VSF

    How different is the plumbing from the older version? Is the suction side entrance in the same location?

    SLAM for almost 2 weeks

    I need to remove my lights (they need to be replaced) but I can’t seem to figure out how they come out. They are PAL Treo, I think they should just screw out. Also, I’m starting to wonder if my capped off booster line where my Polaris used to live could be the culprit. If I connect it, would...

    SLAM for almost 2 weeks

    I have my stenner pump runnig 10 minutes every hour during the night and 15 during the day. I check it 3-4 times a day and add if needed during the heat of the day. The only time it's gone below SLAM is when I was out of town for a day or when I turned off overnight to check loss. CYA was...

    SLAM for almost 2 weeks

    I am currently in the SLAM process and Thursday will be two weeks. I have kept my FC at 14 with a few dips to about 10ppm for the entire time. I still have visible algae and am having 6ppm overnight loss. What should I do other than stay the course? Do I need to raise my CYA? I use the TFP...

    Jandy Pump Protocol

    Ariel by Solar-Breeze

    Does the company have a statement/stance on the battery issue? Seems like something they might want to address before shipping more units.

    Glass Tile

    I have a glass tile "negative edge" spa and lost a lot of tiles during the unprecedented freeze we had this winter. I'm looking for some advice on a good adhesive so that I can reattach them and then also some guidance on the best grout (black) to use for glass tile. I know there have been...

    How to deal with a frozen pool

    I'm no expert, but I would try to take it apart and assess the damage. If it's just that plastic flange that cracked, that could be repaired for a few dollars via a quick amazon search. A new pump will set you back quite a bit.

    All jokes aside, does anyone know if the Maytonics are smart enough to know they’re out of the water on a beach entry?

    I have been having a lot of sporadic issues with my Pi shutting down randomly and then corrupting the SD card. I think I isolated it to the POE adapter. My guess is it wasn’t providing adequate power. Just an FYI in case anyone else experiences same issue.

    Controlling Rs485 slave devices (heater, pump, SWG) directly with Pi

    What is the advantage of using the 3 wire method if controlling via an external source?

    Pentair IntelliCenter Pool Control Dashboard Instructional Guide

    The time is correct on the pi, and actually when I mess with the dash panel, the terminal prompt on njpc updates with the correct time. I'm not really that concerned with the time part personally, as I intend to run schedules via node-red and Home Assistant, but that will require me figuring...

    I have MQTT up and running and can see all the topics in mqttexplorer. What is the best way to control the speed of my standalone VSF pump via mqtt? I can't seem to create features or circuits, so is there a way to directly control the RPM?

    Honestly, if I can figure out how to automate the pump via node-red/home assistant, I'll be very happy. I don't really intend to use the web dash panel.

    I understand how that works. However, as shown in my screenshot above, I only have the available list to pick from and when I try to add more in circuits, I get the following error: So I'm clearly missing something simple on how to add the additional speeds.

    Here are the options I have...none of them directly change the RPM's: I use Home Assistant, so there doesn't appear to be a direct integration at this point.
