    Pentair Intelibrite/globrite replacement board or Sunseeker Aftermarket?

    @vjc103 I'm in the multiple failed Globrite pentair family. I've got two more out right now after having 2 replaced previously. Things are just Crud. Are you saying that micro and Globrite are interchangeable? I don't care if I lose color I just want something that will last longer than the...

    Intellicenter Upgrade kit - yes or no?

    I am using screen logic. Well I don't have to "log in" but every time I go to another app or the phone closes the app basically reloads and goes to the local/remote section and then after second will show main menu. It basically re-connects every time instead of just keeping it open. It's...

    Intellicenter Upgrade kit - yes or no?

    We have an ~3 year old Pentair intellitouch controller - originally i5+3 but had some expansion board put in so I think it's equivalent maybe to i7 or i9+3 now. The app is kinda annoying - you have to login from scratch anytime you ever open it. And things like changing pump speed make it...

    Screenlogic I changed out new routers but locally it will not connect

    No the change in DHCP was several months ago. Screenlogic was stable on the 10.0.0.1 network for months. All I did was relocate wiring and add a new switch, no router changes when this happened.

    Screenlogic I changed out new routers but locally it will not connect

    Appreciate the replies - I know a little more than average about networking but I'm NOT a CCNA for sure. I changed my network to class A primarily to get an entirely different range of IP addresses when I moved so as to see easily anything left from my old network which was the more typical...

    Screenlogic I changed out new routers but locally it will not connect

    All I did was add a new managed switch and rewired most of my network (moved into rack in a network closet). Router remained the same. IP range is 10.0.0.1 / 255.255.255.0. router is Firewalla Gold into unifi managed switch network. IP of Screenlogic is within that range (10.0.0.214) . IP...

    Screenlogic I changed out new routers but locally it will not connect

    Did this get fixed? I redid my network and now I can't connect to my screenlogic2 interface (same as seen above). It has an IP - I can see it on my network / router. My switch confirms the same IP. I have a red light on hte bottom of the interface. Pressed button 3 times nothing seems to...

    Door Sensors

    Just keep in mind it is highly unlikely that any of these door chime systems meet code. In almost all locales it requires either a barrier or an alarm. I know it’s common practice to remove the alarms as they are annoying but these little magnetic contact switches are not a replacement.

    Pentair IntelliCenter Pool Control Dashboard Instructional Guide

    I have an Intellitouch I5+3, it has communication to my network via the wireless Screenlogic wireless protocol adapter. I assume since it was not mentioned that this is not a substitute for running a hardwire. I assume I will also have to buy the communication port expander board - i.e. you...

    EasyTouch - 4 valve limit? Crazy?

    Sorry I didn't f/u until now have been out of state. I'm mad at pentair because a non-expandable design like that is just poor engineering IMO. But you're right that the pool builder did not anticipate nor educate me. They actually pushed me away from the IntelliCenter when we had our...

    SCREENLOGIC HELP

    I would love to learn more about this as well. I've got a pretty robust firewall on my home network and I've never had any remote access issues so I have assumed the communication is going through pentair and its connection to the unit at my house. I never had to open any ports or change any...

    SCREENLOGIC HELP

    That is just nonsense. There is no such thing as “too fast” internet. And a switch will not slow it down either. Ethernet communication is independent of speed. Are you talking about the wireless interface that goes onto the network or are you plugging Ethernet directly into the pentair...

    EasyTouch - 4 valve limit? Crazy?

    We have a pool less than a year old. Built by highly recommended pool company and (we think) was built well. They only use Pentair, so that's what we got. When we built they discouraged intellitouch and installed Eztouch for control. We have an infloor cleaning system that doesn't get...

    IntelliCenter Home Automation Integration and Control

    I'm so excited that once I get some other projects done I can start in on this one! Looks so good. I hate the delay that happens each time I start up the pentair app and really want an Ipad on the wall with pool control available all the time. Really appreciate you all who have this level of...

    Pentair Screenlogic and Mac Catalina

    Sent an email to their tech support and got back a response that basically indicates they don't care I can use my phone. PLEASE take time to email or call them and ask them to get this updated, only if enough people complain will it get fixed.

    Solar Pool heater...

    Why do you think you will only use a pool heater for a week or two? We live in Florida where it's warmer than you are and we use a pool heater a whole bunch more than that!

    Adding a gas heater to a heat pump setup

    I'm not sure what you mean best of both worlds. If it's under 65 and heat pump not working efficiently you probably won't be in pool anyway it will be too cold! We have gas and heat pump in our pool in Florida but mostly to rapidly heat spa if we need and honestly it wasn't worth it. It costs a...

    Pentair Screenlogic and Mac Catalina

    So yah, still cannot run Screenlogic on a Mac. Amazing a multimillion dollar company can't afford to have one guy get this ported over. It's not like he is even writing a Mac specific app. Pathetic.

    Temporary pool fence or "My Daughter's Labrador is insane"

    Oh we let him swim. But last time he was there he would jump in after his toys, bring them back and then jump back in again for hours and just swim around. His paws were bleeding and raw. He just wouldn’t stop. We were hoping we could have him back there and on the Lanai with us for dinner...

    Temporary pool fence or "My Daughter's Labrador is insane"

    He’s actually well behaved, if there is a fence he won’t get past it. He is invisible fence trained and learns boundaries quickly. A leash is not an option for when we want to be hanging out and just letting the dog be free - he has to live and have a space to exist.

    Updated -- Passive solar heating system - real-life experience? -- Heat Pump installed

    Doesn't matter how the heat gets into the pool (gas, solar, electric), it will cool down overnight. We heat ours up to 86 during the day and by next morning it's back down at least 6-8 degrees, more if it's cold. It depends on how cold your nights are but we have a heat pump and it will raise...

    Temporary pool fence or "My Daughter's Labrador is insane"

    We chose not to get the drilled in pool fence when we installed our IG pool d/t not wanting to see the little plugs on our expensive travertine. Then our daughter came to visit with her Labrador retriever. The dog literally would not come out of the pool. Swam for HOURS and ended up with...

    Best way to clean rocks from pool from neighbors pool build that rained gunite shrapnel in my backyard

    Small claims court I think is up to $6000 or so. You could get an estimate for someone to clean it up and then take it to small claims on your own. No doubt they are liable. no way I'd be cleaning up their mess and if something happens to your pool equipment and you haven't documented the...

    Oh my gosh that was one of the funniest videos I've ever seen and then the comments are awesome too. Literally tears running down my cheeks from laughing so hard. I needed that, thanks for posting!

    Pool Cooler

    I saw someone say if you have solar heating system you can run the system at night when ambient temps are cool to draw down temperature and cool a pool. Is this true?

    Kiddie pool powered by aquarium equipment

    :unsure:“Detritus” in a kiddie pool...lol. Keep in mind none of those things are rated for human use or for what you’re using them for. A cracked aquarium heater and short could kill a few fish, or your kids.... I’m probably being paranoid but the heater part worries me.

    Hybrid Heater for N Mexico Pool

    We are building a pool and looked into this hybrid heater. The price ended up basically the same as a separate gas and elec heat pump so it didn’t save any money. our pool builder didn’t seem to like it and had no reliability data. Given they didn’t feel comfortable we ended up with both a gas...
