    Globrite Stuck

    I tried pulling from the J box, it still doesn't budge. Of all the things that could have gone wrong when I tried to replace it, I never expected it to be stuck like this. Am I missing something?

    Globrite Stuck

    Here’s what I did. Figured out which of the 4 lights was the one that was out. Unhooked the two wires from the J box and attached a pull line to that end. Then I used the removal tool and unscrewed the bulb. There was enough slack for the light to come out 5 inches or so. I then pulled on...

    Yes. I pulled on the wire. It didn’t budge.

    Globrite Stuck

    I'm trying to replace a Globrite bulb that burned out. I can unscrew the old bulb easily, but once out, I can't pull the bulb out any further than a couple of inches. I pulled as hard as I can, but it doesn't budge. There is plenty of slack on the other end. Any ideas? Am I missing...

    IntelliCenter2 Migration to Pentair Home

    I gave a 1-star review too, and just received a more promising response: "Hi, Thank you for your valuable feedback. Your input is important to us, and we're actively working on enhancing the Pentair Home app to provide an even better user experience. The Apple watch app for IntelliCenter will...

    IntelliCenter2 Migration to Pentair Home

    I migrated over. I'm super bummed that there is no longer an Apple Watch app. I used it a lot when swimming or when in the spa.

    Intellicenter 2 App problem.

    Yeah, I get that. The app has two choices when you try to connect. You can Login (that connects to their servers via the internet), or you can Connect to Local System which lets you connect directly to your panel without going through their servers. Sometimes, their servers are down. When...

    IntelliCenter 2.006 Firmware

    I'm still on 2.06. I never reverted back. It works ok for me. They are so sloooooow to release updates.

    IntelliCenter 2.006 Firmware

    Ditto. The two issues I had (can’t end a schedule with a SPA run, pool must be on for spillover) have easy work-arounds. I’m going to stick with 2.006 and not revert back. Sounds like Pentair is planning on releasing a new version soon.

    IntelliCenter 2.006 Firmware

    Pentair software team is very disappointing. I feel like Pentair is missing an opportunity to be a leader in automation. So many cool things they could do. Not sure why they don’t invest more in software. Maybe not enough competition in the pool equipment industry

    Make sure your pool circuit is on when you run the spillover.

    I just created a 2.006 change log thread IntelliCenter Firmware 2.006 Change Log The thought is to use this thread for discussion, but keep a clean thread of all changes in the other.

    IntelliCenter 2.006 Firmware

    I discovered an issue with my schedule as well. My daily schedule ends at 6:30 with a 30 min spa run. At 6:30 instead of completely shutting off like it should, it switches back to Pool. It then runs indefinitely until I manually shut it off. I just added a 6:30 - 6:35 pool run with the hope...

    IntelliCenter 2.006 Firmware

    Kinda. I noticed my 30 min spillover program wasn’t running, the pump was on but just going to pool. Turns out, in this latest software rev, the spillover feature requires you to be in pool mode. My schedule just had the spillover feature on, pool mode was off. Your issue sounds very...

    IntelliCenter 2.006 Firmware

    Just wanted to report a bug I submitted to Pentair over 3 years ago was finally fixed in this release! I might be the only one this affects, but wanted to report it here for others. The bug is for those with IntelliPH WITHOUT IntelliChem. IntelliPH is supposed to not dispense acid if you are...

    Heat Pump or Gas in Austin Tx

    We stop using our pool once the weather gets cold. We then only use the heater for the spa. How many hours a day you’ll need to run your heater to maintain your preferred temperature is highly variable depending on climate and pool characteristics. And even then, your weather is different...

    IntelliCenter 1.064 Firmware and New Mobile App IntelliCenter2

    I did get my Apple Watch to work. I wish I could post my exact steps so it can be helpful to others. I really just tried the same thing over and over again and it eventually worked.

    IntelliCenter 1.064 Firmware and New Mobile App IntelliCenter2

    I‘m disappointed that this release was only bug fixes/changes to support the move to AWS. I feel like there is a lot of opportunity to add/refine features. They are still on version 1! You seem more plugged in to Pentair than most. Do you know if they are working on a more substantial...

    IntelliCenter 1.064 Firmware and New Mobile App IntelliCenter2

    Good point, although I think the issue is Pentair is a pool equipment company, not a tech company! I got mine to work after the 1,000th time (ok, maybe it was only 15).
