Hello everyone, I'm moving into a new home and embarking on a complete remodel, including upgrading the existing pool setup. The current pool equipment includes a DE filter, an old single-speed pump, an old booster pump for the vacuum, and a single pool light (likely not LED). Notably, there's...

Built our pool almost 2 years ago. Turned our pool lights on last night and noticed that a few of the colors are dim and not bright like others. We purchased and installed the Pentair Intellibrite 5g LED Pool light which has blue, green, magenta, white, and red colors among varying color shows...

Our pool was just finished, ~12,500 gallons. We have a Pentair IC40 salt cell and 125K Heat Pump. Our builder has already (on day5) put salt along with all of the "chemicals" into the pool. After reading the get started forum on this site, it makes me concerned because it appears they should...

I appreciate the help on this one in advance. Pool builder installed EasyTouch 4 Pool & Spa with 4 Relays. As the electrician was wiring he and I both realized that I'll need 7 relays to achieve what I want - aka the EasyTouch 8 Pool & Spa. I called the pool builder and they wanted to charge...

Pool construction is underway - just finished plumbing today! Need suggestions with lighting. We are having two lamp posts installed in two of the four corners of our pool/deck area (away from the house). The two corners closest to the house need light and the lamps would look awkward if they...
