Any TFPer tried these Globrite replacement bulbs? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D7JLKTCR/?coliid=I1EH2V8FOQGWT8&colid=SS2IAK2I2DLB&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Any idea how old the 10% liquid chlorine is? Liquid chlorine rapidly deteriorates in heat and sunlight. It will lose up to 50% potency in the first six months after production. Always double check the date code stamped on the package/bottle. It is usually a Julian date, i.e., a 2 digit year...

I am not familiar with the product you linked. However, the English translation of the web page says it is Sodium Bromide powder. That is what you need to establish the startup bromine level in your spa. The 2 kg package would last a VERY long time as most spas require only about 50g at start...

Here's the best advice on using bromine in a spa: https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/how-do-i-use-bromine-in-my-spa-or-hot-tub.84/#post-504 The MOST important point in the linked article is to have a good test kit. Using test strips is a recipe for failure. Good luck!

Just checked and the Intellicenter app is showing another "Lost Communication with IC40" warning. This seems to be due to the system switching to in-floor cleaning and IC40 is off during the floor cleaning cycle. Appears this notification is normal operation for the IntelliCenter phone app and...

Thanks for the input. Never had this issue with 1.064 firmware. I do not run my pump 24/7. The pump is set to run approximately 8 hours per day. Since I have an in-floor cleaning (IFC) system, the pump switches from 1500 RPM to 2300 RPM once a day while running the floor cleaning jets and the...

Upgraded my Intellicenter firmware to 2.026 via USB on 1/24/2025. Went very smoothly and rather fast. Estimate total time for upgrade after USB stick inserted was less than 2 minutes. All seemed well after reboot. However, yesterday began getting warning on app (both on iPhone and Safari...

I usually get 3-4 years out of a 12 mil (heavier than most) cover. A couple of things to consider to get a longer life out of thinner ones: 1) As pool stored and hombrewale mentioned, when not in use it should be covered or in the shade to prevent heat deterioration. 2) Do not use the cover...

Like you I've had duckbills deteriorate fast when using "full strength" (31.45%) MA–even the Santoprene ones. This year I switched to "half strength" (14.5%) MA and have not had a problem with 3rd party duckbills wearing out quickly. Of course, the dosage amount has to go up, but I've had...

Here's my observation: I've owned both vinyl covers and a Sunbrella fabric cover for my spa. The fabric cover didn't repel water well enough and over time (2-3 years) the supposedly water-proof plastic wrapped foam insulation became water-logged. It was so heavy at the end, it took 4 grown men...

In order to login, I had to delete the cache from my Safari browser for that web page. I was then able to get to the login page (intellicenter2.com/#/login) without redirects and connect to my panel. This problem has happened before about a week ago. I suspect that Safari is caching the...

Is anyone else getting redirects on the web-based Pentair Intellicenter2 login page? I'm running an iMac with Safari as my browser and every couple of days my bookmark to the intellicenter2.com/#/login gets redirected to intelleticenter2.com/#/installations. The redirect produces a blank blue...

Here's a chart that relates to 12v AC landscape lights. 12v AC pool lights are essentially the same. If the calculated voltage drop in your case is greater than 1.5 V, you need to bump up the transformer output connection to next higher tap. Another possibility is the lights have been set to...

Thanks for the information. Any good sources for the newest GloBrites?

T1T, Based on TFP experiences, I'm also going to try the MicroBrite lights to replace the crappy GloBrites. Seen a couple of videos where folks have slathered silicone caulk around the MicroBrites before installing them as a protective layer. Might try that technique. Good news is I only have 3...

JimR & Turbo1T, Finally, I believe I understand the dyslexic logic of the Pentair Intellicenter. I've got my pool pump working as before with an AM & PM skim/SWCG and a midday Floor Cleaner run. :D Greatly appreciate the help getting me pointed in the right direction. Next project is to...

Turbo1Ton, Very helpful screenshots. (y) Was having issues with web-based GUI. Had a corrupted cache file that wouldn't let me login so I was working with the iOS app. Not fun! Got that sorted out and will now work on getting the system up and running properly today. :cool: Cheers, Tico

As of right now the pump and SWCG are running as I needed. The actuator is connected to Valve port A. I will work on getting my system configured properly today. Not an intuitive GUI. Thanks for your help!

JimR, Thanks. I've checked my current configuration. I've got the Pump type set to VS; I've got the Pool Circuit assigned to the Pump and 1600 rpm set; the display on the pump says: "Display not Active"... . OOPS! I just discovered that the Pump was "somehow" assigned to the "Lights"...

I've had a "Rube Goldberg" automation system setup for 6+ years using an Autelis controller. Since Autelis is no longer in business, I opted to finally upgrade my legacy (circa 2011) EasyTouch panel to an Intellicenter panel. The install went fairly smoothly with no big issues with the remove...

Glad you got the debris out of the lines. Bad news about possible heat exchanger self-destruction. Good luck on solving that mystery and repairing the spa.

Just saw this post. Can you upload a picture of the spa and pump/blower equipment, not just the clogged jets? Maybe one of our industry experts could help if we knew the make and model of the equipment. I'm no expert, but the debris looks like pieces of PVC pipe. If the debris has "recently"...

Go to iPhone "Settings"> "General">"Language and Region">"Region". Even if the correct region is showing, reselect it. If that doesn't give you a dot instead of a comma, select "United States" for your Region. Unfortunately, you'll have to switch back to the proper region since your location is...

(y):cool:

I suggest checking the flow switch for proper function.

OK. Disregard my post! I din't see the answer that you have 120V to the transformer. Good luck!

Is the breaker feeding the EasyTouch panel a GFCI? If so, some GFCI breakers have a built-in test mode that trips the GFCI after a press time and all you need do is reset the breaker and it should run normal. However, if the breaker is not a GFCI, your ET panel could've gotten surge damage. How...

What is the outdoor relative humidity level where you live? It is not uncommon to lose ½" - 1" of water per day due to evaporation in dry climates. That is considered "standard" loss rates in AZ. The bubbles you see coming from your returns are most likely due to the SWG.

Please carefully read the Pool School article: SLAM - Shock Level and Maintain. DO NOT worry about your current pH, it is fine. That is NOT your issue. Killing algae is your only task. If you follow our advice, you'll have a clear, sparkling pool in about a week. Please remember, the TFP method...
