    Pentair GloBrite Issue

    Hi Everyone, I just remodeled my pool, and we are having an issue. We installed 3 Pentair GloBrite color changing LED lights. They look amazing - at first all worked great. After about 1 week, when I clicked the switch, 2 of the 3 lights turn on simultaneously. Then, about 1 or 2 seconds go by...

    Best IG nat gas pool heater brand?

    Actually it depends if you have a saltwater pool vs. Chlorine. Hayward is better for saltwater...its internal parts are deigned to resist corrosion from saltwater. If chlorine then Raypak is slightly better but not worth paying an extra $200...if you can get the same btus with Raypak for under...

    Hayward Heater Auto Standby?

    It was in BO operation and working perfectly. Could be controlled by my phone with iaqualink. However, guests would mess with the heater to try to increase the heat, etc. So i had my pool guy put a cover over the panel so it couldnt be played with...worked great. Then, we had no guests for about...

    best RPM speed for priming?

    I guess i am asking if there is a benefit or reason to have a high rpm speed when priming. Or will having it too low break the pump or something?

    best RPM speed for priming?

    Hi All. I have an intelliflo VS pump. I also have iAqualink pool controls. When the pump turns on, it first "primes" then it goes to whatever setting I have it on. I can set the RPMS for when it primes...right now it's set at 2350 rpms for priming. Is this good or can i set it lower? Basically...

    iAqualink Question

    It actually is the opposite. It doesn't read temp at all until the pump turns on. When i turn on the pump, Then the temp will rise 3 to 5 degrees in a matter of minutes. Then if the pump is on for an hr or so, that's when i check and notice the temp is reading 90 or higher degrees.

    iAqualink Question

    Hi All, I have a newly installed IAqualink 2.0 system and i noticed a weird thing: i have it on a maintain heat setting (basically it samples the water every 3 hrs and if the temp is lower than what we set it at, the heater kicks on). The water temperature showing on the iAqualink app is all...

    Lowest GPM for Aqua Rite SWG?

    Thanks for the info. I thought i should get at least 1 (or close to it) water turnover per day? Its a vacation rental meaning it has tenants renting it and using the pool every day... but you think i should cut it to 5 hrs per day at 1000 rpm? Trying to optimize the electricity savings and keep...

    Lowest GPM for Aqua Rite SWG?

    Hi everyone, Does anyone know the lowest GPM needed for the Aqua Rite SWG to still work? I am trying to run my Intelliflo at the lowest possible RPM, outside of when heat is needed (which goes to 2350 rpm). Soon, the weather out here in the desert will require no heat source (other than the...
