Just did a bunch of wire testing on the Mastertemp. The Heater has it own power wire at 115v. The fireman switch is basically a jumper wire that can be use as a switch. Its an open or close circuit depending if the jumper wire is there or not. Fireman switch operates at 24v. So if you...

hey wow. after year and a half. I finally have to get on the equipments to troubleshoot. Manual start no long worked either. I got a E05 massage and the heater just stops. I did do some research and got all the sensor just in case. I popped the top cover off and looked at the LED's went...

Hello, My Mastertemp 400 will no longer auto start with intellitouch spa setting. It use to be automated start when SPA switch is turned on with remote now it wont Now I can only get it to manual start and stop after I use the fireman switch jumper - disconnected the fireman switch with...

Fixed. open the panel tested voltage. apparently the light curcuit power source was connected to the a/c Power outlet on the side of the Easy Touch panel which had a GFCI breaker on it. Reset the power outlet and its fixed. GFCI breaker must have tripped when I used that outlet for some...

I cannot get both my spa nad pool Pentair LED light on. They are controlled by a Pentair EASY Touch 8 panel. I have reset the panel and the light breakers, didnt help. Is there another breaker somewhere for the lights. LED's are about 3 years old they are not turned on often. Hard to...

they are 1.5 inch. Yeah unfortunately, But I think the panel is where most of the bottleneck happens. 2" header or not. Those are very small diameter channels.

finally got the solar control working. Its actually pretty cool. Easy touch will turn off solar valve when you have the "Cleaner" and "Spa" program\circuit running. Easy Touch will turn on solar when the Panel Temp is above set temp of 3 - 9 degrees of water temp. Easy Touch will turn...

service mode let you control the pump AT the pump.. So the Intelliflo's own control panel will work. Otherwise the Easytouch take over the control of the intelliflo.

How much automation can I get out of the solar control from the easy touch 8 control box? I have install the solar sensor and Actuator for the diverter valve. doesn't seem to do much. except i can push the solar button and the actuator valve moves. I could have did that by hand. Solar is...

Thanks. I would never have know that. The instruction manual on the actuator is very lacking. I will open up the actuator to do some research.

Can I configure the Actuator to move only 90 degrees rotation? Do I actually configure the diverter valves movement to limited the rotation? or do I configure the actuator? I installed solar panel and the Pentair 3-way diverter valve was provisioned in place when the pool was built. to go...

I have the smartpool sunheater panels from costco. 2'x20' Looks like I have to do a Vertical installation. That part of my roof is not 20' wide.

Pipe question. I have 2 inch pipes for the pumps, However my Solar panels are 1.5". I have a pretty long run to the panels. 1.5 inch would be easier to work with since weight and cost is lower. Should I run 1.5" pipe up to the roof or use 2" pipe then reduce the diameter at the panel...

have your electrician check the power ?

Thanks. wont be concern about leaks now. Since the Pool is only 3 months old.. didnt know about evaporation rates.

my pool is losing about 1" of water every 2 weeks or so. I have 14000 gal in ground just finished in Dec 09 Been using the spa in the weekend. Pool is mostly in the sun and it is somewhat windy in my area. Do you think the evaporation and water lost is normal?

Ouch. I totally feel your pain. I suppose you dont have a Gas line to get a gas heater in your area?

thanks.. my over baseline rate is # Therms x $0.96737 so about $3-4 an hr to heat the spa.. is not too bad.

just wondering how much does it cost to run the Mastertemp 400. Our Pool/spa just finished and we have been heating the spa a few times. Takes about 40min to heat the spa from 55 to 95 degrees.

California Peeps... I have a guy for you on Glass.. Akmeglass.com. They were very reasonable. Here is my pool just finished.

Cancelled AHS.. 3 service calls - not satisified. 1- water heater leaking.. Tech came and gave me all kind of additional cost to get up to todays code. It would cost me over $1500 to replace a water heater. i had home depot do it cost about the same but i upgrade to a larger capacity one...

found this at about $11 each. but they are only about 4" deep.

how deep do you set in the PVC pipe?

There is a 20 feet setback code too.. Basically you can build anything that is closer than 20feet to the sidewalk. so now I have to place my fence 20 feet away from the sidewalk. I dont think it is ever enforced but to pass inspection they make you comply. Basically I have to place the...

Pedestrian access gates? does that mean gate accesible from outside of the property like a side gate? or just gate that a person can go thru

Building a pool is like learning how to be your own contractor. Just researched on fence requirement. pool fence requirement for LA county california Please correct me if Im wrong. Reading building code is confusing Fence needs to be 60" high and no more than 2" off the ground. 4" above...

Im getting the Pentair Easy touch with 8 aux for my new build IG pool. from the instuction manual there seem to be controls for Solar valves. There is a solar sensor input. Where do you find the sensor. cant seem to find it even on the pentair site. Anyone has experience with the easy...

Can you give me more detail on this part? Trying to lock down the spec for new pool with PB. thanks

We had a PB that introduce an idea about installing a bubbler on the baja step. However we are choosing a different PB that had a better overall design. How would you install the bubbler. Is it like a spa jet installed on the floor of the baja step? How deep is the baja step is it like a...
