Thanks. It may be that Pentair is making it harder for the DIYers...

Thanks for the file and installer. This one seems to have everything that were available in the three separate zip files and the files to run the programmer. Now to order a $12 programmer from eBay. Did you get this file from Pentair or did you put it together yourself? If from Pentair where did...

Hi Tom, Yes it has been. What can I say the darn thing has been running smoothly with no issues :) Thanks for the info. Looks like then I will need to get the IntelliTouch Only firmware Zip File. Interestingly, the other file (the one for the easytouch which included the trainer FW files) has...

Hello All, Long time lurker, infrequent poster here. I was poking around in my Pentair system and noted that we are running FW 1.170 where as the latest firmware is 1.190. I have already found and read through the thread telling me how to update the FW (including the programmers needed, the...

b Well glad to hear I am not the only one. I am going to start looking at resources for the Rabbit board and see if someone has posted the files for a Rabbit board.

PC, No, the two programs I want are there to access the brick directly w/o the fluff. If you DL the Pentair FW file and unpack it you will find a file called: Pentair Update.TXT which has "Procedure for updating Pentair bricks". In it states: AS you see the two files are essential for...

Unfortunately, I don't have a spare PC they could use and frankly disconnecting 65 devices from the network is a bit on the ridiculous side. Frankly, they don't need remote access. They could just email you the program and walk you through it. Hades, companies have been doing this forever by...

Hi Jim, Thanks for the quick reply. I agree with your assessment that there is a valid IP. However, the Pentair guys were convinced it was an IP issue. I personally think the firmware/flash maybe bad. I have tried the update procedure for FW you linked too previously and that fails as well. IT...

Hello All, Long time lurker here looking for some help - MODs if this is inappropriate for this forum please delete with my apologies We finally got our all Pentair system setup last year. Everything has been working beautifully until a few weeks ago when we had a few power surges/outages in...

Thanks everyone for the information and the advice. He was able to locate one locally in LA (otherwise had to get one delivered from SD) so we installed the ASME version. It might not make any difference in the long term but I got to believe if something is built to run continuously it probably...

Just a quick survey from the experts: We have an 18K gallon salt water pool being put in. I had specified an Pentair MasterTemp 400,000 BTU HD Heater - ASME for the heater but the PB brought the non ASME version. I can still get the ASME version or get a $300 credit on the price difference...

O.k. guys thanks for the info. You would think for $500 Pentair would build something smarter/better designed to prevent water damage. While remotes are nice having a permanently attached control, which you can access w/out getting out of the water and never misplace, would be very nice. Oh...

Hello All, We are now in the midst of our pool construction (shotcrete is in and work on coping is beginning). Originally I had requested a spa side controller for the spa (a Pentair Spa Command Spa-Side Remote Controller (521178) installed using a Pentair Mudbox Accessory for SpaCommand...

The pool man is not because I think it would be particularly hard to take care of the pool but more of a time constraint. I am holding off on the acid pump for now. I may put it in, in any case but not a high priority item. Can you point me to a good thread where people have discussed why the...

I was originally going to go "fully automatic" with an IntelliChem unit and IntelliPH. However, after reading on the forums here I decided against that. I saw many people recommend the Stenner instead of the IntelliPH. I am still deciding on that as I will have a pool man who will add acid...

Brian, Interesting. I figured most of these guys did not do their own engineering but I didn't think it all got farmed out to one company. We are signing our contract tomorrow and I want to make sure I am not missing anything as far as the shotcrete goes. Good to know the shotcrete can't be...

Hi Brian, No idea on who is the Shotcrete contractor. Engineering I assume is by the local company doing the pool. Unless they all farm it out to one place? I will certainly ask for the tickets - if the mix comes from the plant I am less concerned then if they are mixing at the nozzle. Firm...

Thanks. So how do I do that? :P Do I have the PB pour a cylinder on the day the Shotcrete is being shot? And is there a list of qualified labs?

Hello All, We are finally starting our new pool and as many know the number of choices and differing advice is staggering. Our pool will have a shotcrete shell and I have been told by one builder that he recommends a shotcrete inspection w/ cores while others have said it is unnecessary. The...

Hello All, We are in the final design stages of our new pool build. I have a builder that I like and many of the issues have been worked out however the details remain. One such detail is automation: I am not a fan of the cloud, or cloud based management specially if it comes to equipment in...

Thanks for the info. I will check out their forum for more details. Please update me if you successfully get the iAqualink to communicate with the MCV. You guys are a bit far out of the way for your PB to come down here. We are in the SGV. I will be looking at some Pentair stuff more closely...

Hi and thanks for the info. Interesting bit there. I had too look up MCV to learn about it looks impressive. The programming looks brain dead (at least based on the you tube stuff). One question, is there an account associated with it (i.e. just like aqualink do you have to go through the...

Living in southern CA I never even thought about the fact that people have probably shut down their pools for the season! Thank you for this info. I guess both the Hayward and Pentair systems meet my needs (as far as automation). I'll have to do a careful feature comparison of the two and see...

Bumping this as I am surprised no one has commented on the system. Are most people on the forum shunning automation/network integration or am I posted i the wrong subsection? TIA!

Thanks I figured as much but always good to get the opinion of people in the know. Then can anyone who owns or knows about the Pentair Intellitouch system can fill me in on the specifics of the system? Specially if you need to have an account of any sort with Pentair before it can be used? I...

Hello Everyone: I am a recent reader and a new poster to the forum. I am here, I would guess as most other people are, because we are in the process of building a new pool. We are in Southern Ca and are putting in a new in ground pool. While my better half and the architect are doing the...
