    Pentair iCHLOR Question

    Moved from here... Pentair iCHLOR - Page 2 Hi, I have a question to clarify the iCHLOR standalone mode. Will I need the PC110 power center in order to wire the ichlor to my intelliflo or will the PC100 work? If the PC100 works do I just strip the connector on the COM cable and screw it to...

    Pentair IC40 Comm Link Error

    charbaugh, did you ever resolve the situation? I have a new setup and am experiencing the same 'com link error' shown on the intellitouch display. The salt cell itself does who it is on and working but the intellitouch does not seem to be able to read it.

    Skim Doctor 2, good or bad?

    Quick update - I did install both and both solutions work. Not surprisingly, both have their advantages / disadvantages. Skimdr. seems to be able to create more suction and a stronger swirl effect with the movable opening. It also fits my skimmer much better. The downside is that cleaning it...

    Difference between Pentair Mobiletouch and Mobiletouch 2

    Thanks a ton for the thorough comparions, @MyAZPool. I will call my contractor Monday morning. I did call a couple of pool equipment warehouses and while they had the i10+3 in stock they had not even heard about the IntelliCenter. I totally agree that I won't need the automation week one but...

    Difference between Pentair Mobiletouch and Mobiletouch 2

    The plaster date is set for the week after next (krystalkrete) and that means I have to have the equipment installed and running by then. Also, I have renters soon after so the project has to land in the next 3 weeks which gives little wiggle room. I wasn't able to find a version of this item...

    Difference between Pentair Mobiletouch and Mobiletouch 2

    Again, many thanks for the clarification, again! To be precise about pool and spa I have pool and spa with 2 independent sets of equipment and both will need to run at the same time. The pool has a vanishing edge so the pump needs to be running during the day. If I want to use the spa at the...

    Difference between Pentair Mobiletouch and Mobiletouch 2

    I am intrigued. Looking at the manual it seems like I would need the i10D personality kit. I cannot find any pricing on this. One caveat - I need to purchase this equipment sometime next week (Sept. 24-28) as it will need to be installed the week after. Not sure how readily available this...

    Difference between Pentair Mobiletouch and Mobiletouch 2

    This is an awesome tip. Thanks much - it actually sounds like the best solution given that the MobileTouch2 reviews are pretty bad and it seems like a nightmare to try to distinguish them. I browsed through the IntelliTouch pool and spa control system user guide but it states that the iLink...

    Kudos for clarifying! One more question - the Screenlogic II comes with an antenna. Will I need a second (different) antenna for the MobileTouch or will the Screenlogic antenna suffice?

    Difference between Pentair Mobiletouch and Mobiletouch 2

    Jimrahbe, the system is for our vacation property that we also rent out. While I will be using my phone I don't want to give guests access to the mobile app but rather provide a wireless remote to operate pool, spa and lights. Wireless b/c I don't want to have to put conduit throughout my...

    Skim Doctor 2, good or bad?

    I got a skimdoctor2 a couple of days back and installed it. It certainly is creating the desired swirl effect inside the skimmer but it is too early to tell if the skimming is improved. I will receive the skim-around today or tomorrow so I can compare the 2 solutions. So far Skimdoctor seems...

    Difference between Pentair Mobiletouch and Mobiletouch 2

    I know many of you own a wireless controller for their Pentair setup so I wanted to ask if somebody can help me understand the difference between the Pentair Mobiletouch (#520340) and Mobiletouch 2 (#520906). I am getting a Pentair Intellitouch i5+3 installed with screenlogic2 and while a...

    pool monitor

    Update on MySutro: I have been trying to get an answer from their twitter account and from Ravi himself via email but <crickets>. After pre-ordering almost 2 years back it more and more looks like the device is not going to happen. Last year they would at least still keep people posted but by...

    pool monitor

    I just learned about Sutro and the little detail there is on TechCrunch. If I understand the premise correctly the system should work with the BBB method. Any word from Ravi if the BBB method is encouraged/supported and if they have a subscription for BBB? Additionally, does anybody have...

    Maytronics M5/M500 Power Supply Part Number

    I did leave the remote close to the battery pack. but the fact that the robot immediately starts tells me it is not the remote sending the signal. Also, all remotes - the original and the pro model - switch off after a few minutes of inactivity. One difference I noticed between the original...

    Maytronics M5/M500 Power Supply Part Number

    I actually just found an ebay listing that shows which power supply fits which robot. However, this does not explain why the delay start does not work on my Triton Plus. 9995670 - Power Supply fits the following pool cleaners: Advantage - 9999301 3001 - 9999321 SCP - 9999301-SCP...

    Maytronics M5/M500 Power Supply Part Number

    Hi, I am trying to investigate why the delay function of the Maytronics Pro Remote (99954226-ASSY) is not working on my Dolphin Triton Plus. I had confirmed with Maytronics Support before that it should work with my power supply (part no 9995678) but after receiving the remote it definitely...

    Maytronics (Dolphin) advanced function aka PRO remote on a Z5 - my testing results.

    Great post @mrcarcrazy and thanks for posting the video. I received my pro remote on Friday and can confirm that the 'ultra clean' cycle works with my Triton Plus (robot ran 3.5h when selecting that cycle). However, just like in your case the delay function is not doing anything. This is...

    Swimquip 8428-7 inlet jet conversion kit

    I just learned about the new venturi jets from infusion and want to convert my dated swimquip jets to these new jets. However, the swimquip are screwed into the pool wall with a face plate and I cannot screw the infusion jets into the wall after removing the face plate. Is there a conversion...

    Anyone tried the M5 advanced remote on other Dolphins?

    @mrcarcrazy - did you have a chance to try the remote and see if timer/delayed start/programs work?

    Anyone tried the M5 advanced remote on other Dolphins?

    I just reached out to Maytronics asking if when pairing the advanced remote with my triton plus I will be able to run a 'heavy duty' cycle as well as the delayed start. Waiting to hear back from them. If anybody has tried to use the advanced remote with a Z5 or Triton Plus please let me know...

    Looking for the Dolphin M5/M500

    Re: Dolphin M5 vs Dolphin Oasis Z5 Absolutely true - if anybody cares to compare the features I found this dolphin site very useful: http://marketing.maytronicsus.com/product/compare?cid=3&cid=1578&cid=1602 The link shows the comparison between Oasis Z5, M400 and Triton Plus

    Looking for the Dolphin M5/M500

    Re: Dolphin M5 vs Dolphin Oasis Z5 I did more research and discovered the Triton Plus which comes with all the features of the M400. Since it is $400 cheaper than the M400 offer of the closest local dealer I am going for that one I guess. I confirmed the 2 year warranty to be valid even if...

    Dolphin Triton Plus experience

    I will be buying the Triton Plus on Monday so I was wondering if anybody had some experience with the new model. It is now top loading as well and basically comes with all the features the M4 has plus 2 years of warranty even if bought over the internet. I confirmed that with Maytronics today...

    Looking for the Dolphin M5/M500

    I am looking for the M5/M500. The timer as well as the extra brush seem worth it to me but I cannot find an (online) dealer. I contacted Maytronics and they referred me to using their website to find the closest brick'n'mortar. Not my preference but I guess I will cave if I have to. I also...
