Quick update on the changes to equipment that I discussed with the pool builder. He had never heard of issues with the Globrites, said he puts them in all the time, but had no issue swapping them out for Microbrites at no additional cost to me. So that was fine.
For the EasyTouch vs Intellicenter that was a different story. Their in-house Pentair account manager basically said they've had nothing but issues with the Inellicenter and have put it on the "do not sell" list for now. That's why they are sticking with the EasyTouch. They called their Pentair rep while we were there and she said similar. That not only were they still seeing a lot of warranty issues with them, but they are also seeing lots on supply problems with the Intellicenter. While I do like the latest and shiniest tech, I decided to just leave this one alone.
