    suction or pressure side cleaner without booster

    Thanks for the reply. Can you go into why this would be preferrable over a suction side cleaner? More powerful? Less filter cleanings? Thanks again.

    Are all pool returns removable?

    Can someone confirm that my pool return is removable? I can't undo it by hand and didn't want to use a wrench until I get some reassurance that it is ok. Picture attached... [attachment=0:2kts0qaj]IMG_20130526_172054.jpg[/attachment:2kts0qaj]

    suction or pressure side cleaner without booster

    I recently got a variable speed pump for energy savings since my electricity rate is 33 cents/kWh and am now thinking about getting rid of my polaris 280 and booster pump for a new cleaner that doesn't use a booster. I figure the energy savings would pay for the new cleaner in just a few years...

    Android/iPhone control of Intellitouch and Easytouch

    Out of stock for a few weels. But meanwhile I was reading the installation instructions... It says to plug it into a standard wall outlet. I have a few outlets on my easytouch panel but not sure if they are water resistant enough with the outlet cover lifted and something plugged in all the...

    Pentair Easytouch water temperature err

    Thanks for the reply. I'll ask the installer to check it again. Though I had a similar problem with an older Intellitouch system before. Even had the Pentair rep out. The system didn't give a salt reading. They just told me I had to wait a few days or few weeks. Lived with it for a year...

    Easytouch wireless controller vs Screenlogic

    Just got an Easytouch system installed and trying to decide which wireless controller to get. I already have a bunch of networked computers and Android tablets/phones (and an old ipad the kids are using). Is there any disadvantage to the Screenlogic system over the regular wireless controller? Mike

    Pentair Easytouch water temperature err

    I just got a Pentair Easytouch control system installed. When I try to check the water temperature, the system reports "err". The air temperature function seems to work fine. I see one of the temperature sensors is dangling in the air and another is sticking into the pump outflow pipe. Is...

    Energy efficient pump upgrade

    The formula in the "Hydraulics 101" sticky suggests that I can save an additional $200 per year with the Intelliflo over the 2 speed 1hp. So, I just ordered the Intelliflo. I'm hoping I can just leave it on low power even when the Polaris is on. I can then order the swg with or without the...

    Energy efficient pump upgrade

    Thanks for the replies. If it makes any difference to any answers, I also plan on getting the IC40 swg. Few more questions... Will there be any issues using a new Intelliflo pump without an Intellitouch/Easytouch control system? I don't care about indoor controls since my pool is relatively...

    Energy efficient pump upgrade

    I currently have a single speed Whisperflo 1 HP pump and am thinking of upgrading to something more energy efficient. What should be most cost effective; 2 speed motor, Marathon Impower, or Pentair Intelliflo? Or other better option? Stats: 20k gallon pool, no spa, de filter paying $0.32 per...
