Update: Got my IC60 from Polytec today, less than 24 hours after ordering it. They are my new go to. I am back in business thanks to great TFP members. Again. Gary

Thepoolguystore.com canceled my order and refunded my money. Very fast and unexpected. I wonder if someone in their company saw this post on TFP and took some action. Thanks again, guys!

Thanks everyone for the great info. I guess I am going to learn a very expensive lesson. Never purchase from an on line store before: 1. Checking with the great people at TFP to see if they have any comments. 2. Seeing if they will answer a phone call and verify that they have the item in...

Thank you, Tim. That makes me feel better. Hopefully they were just busy today. Will reply back when I find out something.

Thepoolguystore.com Has anyone used this outfit before? I purchased an Intellichlor IC60 from them last night and even paid for overnight shipping. My IC60 crapped out and I was desperate to find a replacement as soon as possible. They sent me a email purchase receipt right away. Anyhow, I...

A 1/2" loss in a week is not bad. In my Riverside, CA desert environment I have lost as much as 1" per day when the temp is 110 degrees and a wind is blowing. I have a pool fill valve as part of my sprinkler controller that adds a few minutes of fill each day, but I sill have to look each...

In theory, you can connect up to 256 devices to an RS-485 bus depending upon the electrical characteristics of the Transceivers. I have a VS pump, Screenlogic wireless antenna and Intellichlor IC60 all attached to my EasyTouch J20 connector. I find that the easiest way to connector multiple...

Yes, I change it before I fire the heater up. Easier than going out to the pad to manually change it by hand.

I installed a CVA-24 Actuator on my heater bypass plumbing which existed with a manual valve on the pool when I bought the house. With my setup, using my EasyTouch 8 I can set the valve to partially bypass the heater which is my normal mode to reduce head pressure, or run all of the water...

I did not want my loop to stick up any higher than necessary so I made it shorter than recommended. My SWG runs great, no issues I have seen. Gary

I think the loop you have for the vertical mount SWG is a little larger than you need. I have been running my vertical install IC60 as shown for a year and a half now with no issues. Gary

Hello all, and happy new year! I will be doing some electrical work in my Compool to Easy Touch enclosure. I was going to use wire nuts as usual, but happened to run across the Wago wire connectors on a U-tube video. These connectors appear to be much easier to use than wire nuts and have good...

I did the upgrade a few years back on my ancient LX-10 Timemaster. Very easy to do. Did not have to change or adapt any connectors, Without Screenlogic I would not consider the Easytouch. With the Screenlogic, programming is very easy. Gary

Check all of your connections inside the junction box where you connected the light to be sure they are secure. Make sure there is no moisture inside the box and that the gasket between the top and bottom of the box is in place. Gary

If you mean bags that go into the skimmer, then hairnets (100 from Amazon for 6 bucks) are what a lot of people use.

Ditto on what Matt said. I replaced my spa side remote and ran into the same problem. A small cable in a 3/4" conduit all by itself should be easy, or so I thought. Soap and a helper on the other side helped a bunch. Good luck!

I have 2 Intellibrite lights in my pool on 1 Easytouch relay, and 1 Intellibrite light in my raised Spa on another relay. I usually have the lights in my pool set to blue, and the spa light set to red. Super easy to set any color combination on the lights with Easytouch and Screenlogic.

Yes, but use only a Silicone lubricant. Silicone will provide a good seal and protect rubber.

The jig worked well, all holes in the correct location. One tip, do NOT go by the published dimensions. The two upright sections that go into the sockets are listed as being 8" apart. They were more like 8 and 3/8" apart. Use the actual sockets and rail to mark locations on the jig. Very happy...

Because I use hair nets on my skimmers and also use a Robot, very little stuff ends up in my filter. It has been a year since I last cleaned the filter (Pentair Quad 60) and the pressure has not risen since the last cleaning. I will soon do my yearly filter clean, but not required yet. I just...

I do have a heavy duty hammer drill and a couple of brand new DeWalt masonry bits. Being that the holes are only 5/16" and not very deep I don't think I will have any trouble drlling. I just wanted to use the jig to insure I don't get one of the holes off (as usual with me). Getting my rail...

As like others I too have selected the Saftron Rails and Mounts because of the self install and no bonding requirement. I bought the dip rail as like Jim's photo and the 6" surface mounts which are due soon I hope. As others have stated, I am a little uneasy about trying to drill six holes in...

You can find information on the Mounts at saftron.com They are available at Amazon, and are sold in pairs.

Jim, one last question if you wouldn't mind. Did you use the hardware supplied with the railing mounts or did you upgrade to something more robust? Thanks, Gary

Also try running the ScreenLogic program as ADMINISTRATOR. This sometimes helps.

Thank you, Jim. What I have to figure out now is if my robot (Triton Plus) will hit the rail when it tries to clime the stairs. If so I will have to go with the straight across version versus the dipped down one. My wife and I are in our seventy's, so I would really prefer the dip down version...

Jim, I am in the market for a hand rail to add to my existing pool and am looking at surface mount to avoid having to drill 4" holes in my deck. I kind of like the Saftron units because of the grounding issue. Do you find that the coating on the Saftron rails to be cooler to the touch than a...

You could also just pull the two wires from the heater to the ET HEATER connector and twist them together. The relay on the ET board does the same thing (connects the two wires together). If the heater will then fire, it tells you that the wire connection to the heater is good, and something on...

This seems to be quite a common problem for non Microsoft applications. My ScreenLogic would not run without signing in as Administrator, same as a WiFi irrigation controller, a thermostat app and a few others over the years. Even though I am a Microsoft Certified System Engineer (MCSE), I have...

The 10 button spa side remotes have a terrible reputation. Seems they only last for about a year. For the price, they are more expensive than a Screenlogic setup.
