    Thanks for the nice video. Ques - I have a Pentair with Intellitouch panel inside the house that mirrors the outside panel. How do I know this is compatible? I asked a pool guy who says installing this is $1700. I checked and it looks like it is stupid simple with Amazon selling the antenna + board and housing for $750. If you add a surge protector it is maybe $800 tops. So I'm trying to find out if I can just buy the equipment myself and have him install it for the professional setup. So how do I know this is compatible with my system?

    • @fr9714
      @fr9714 2 месяца назад

      I bought it from Amazon and installed it. The wired indoor panel was already plugged in to J20 com port of the Pentair Compool To Easytouch Upgrade system I have. So bought the Pentair Serial Com port expansion board. So the expansion board is plugged into main board and the indoor panel and wireless transmitter is plugged into the expansion board. So it’s kinda sharing the same bus. Seems like it should work Will update how it goes.

    • @PoolProfessor
      @PoolProfessor 4 месяца назад

      If you connect to your System on the all via the local config then no password will be required. Because it knows you are on your own home network. Then you can enter settings and change it for remote access. Connect via Local into Config. You can then set up a new password for Remote access.

    • @PoolProfessor
      @PoolProfessor 4 месяца назад

      Go to page 80-83 of this PDF manual linked below and try that. If that does not work then would I delete the device from the app. Press and hold the reset button on the screen logic box 3 times within 5 secs like the manual say. And start over. Make sure you enter that number from the box to the app so it can't find it at all times remotely.

    • @PoolProfessor
      @PoolProfessor 4 месяца назад

      Dang it! That must be so annoying. Honestly if I got to that level I would reset the device and start over as if it was new and add it again to the network. Sounds like you did that already. I can't see why a modem change would cause this but you must have one of those mode/router all in one devices. I bet the new one is spitting out a new IP address such as 10.x.x.x.x vs. the old one running as 192.168.1.1. You will have to tell the new router to run on the address scheme of 192.168.1.1. It is not as hard as it sounds and that is pretty standard addressing. Google search your exact router model and watch a video on how to change that over.

    Very good video, thanks! I purchased one about 2 weeks ago but am having one significant issue. Everything was easy to set up and the communication was a snap because I have a short distance and a powerful WiFi. I have an Easytouch system where my remote eggtimer board had gone bad so I decided to try the SL2 setup. My Easytouch panel displays all my info, such as the Intellichlor settings/readings. However, the Screenlogic software shows Intellichem, and "not" Intellchlor, which again, does show just fine on the panel on my Easytouch box. I guess I'll be calling the vendor I purchased from tomorrow...

    Pentair is the leading pool company for several reasons ease of automated and wireless control is definitely one and they do have superior equipment on average.But if you go beyond the surface and break the water tension and dive deeper into why its because they were the 1st to partner with energy star and governmental EPA program all about pushing the green new deal scam and climate sustainability agenda. They are a "woke" "inclusive " company that works with and has members in the world economic forum(huge group of globalist dystopian elite business owners who lobby and run the show for private rich interests who get free public tax money and subsidies to push their power grab transhumanist agenda) so sorry yall the worlds a business and the product ro be used and dusposed of at the businesses discretion IS YOU!

  • @billiehicks1864
    @billiehicks1864 8 месяцев назад

    The main reason to run your pool longer is to keep it cleaner so it really just depends on the pools bather load(frequency and quantity of swimmers)/ and organic load(amount and frequency of biological debris entering the pool). Dogs and critters like birds in the pool will definitely throw off and use up the chemicals much faster pound per pound than people. Rule of thumb is one dog in the pool is like having 3-10 swimmers in a pool. Ive serviced pet spa pools before and believe me trying to dial the chemicals in and keep the ballanced in a shallow pool full of dogs is a nightmare and requires far more work and attention to chemistry than a pool for people.

  • @billiehicks1864
    @billiehicks1864 8 месяцев назад

    One secret most people dont know is an obvious chemistry one. Like any solution that has different soluable compunds in it the more frequently and quickly it circulates the faster things will dissolve/mix and be used up. So running your pool at lower speeds durings the day and higher at night will definitely save you chemical costs and prolong your chlorine retention aswell as create a more stable environment for less fluctuations in range chemistry meaning your pool chemicals will be more stable, predictable and evaporate slower.

  • @billiehicks1864
    @billiehicks1864 8 месяцев назад

    As a pool technician this may be fun for a little while but I can garuntee you it wont last if you leave it in your pool and use it frequently. Exposed wires are always a hazard especially in water. Most of these kind of things are just cheap gimmicks that Americans love to waste money on. But you guys can waste money on whatever you like right cause its yo mula not mine.

  • @billiehicks1864
    @billiehicks1864 8 месяцев назад

    There is no easy break down of pool costs every pool is unique and climate and location varies drastically but you can get a ball park estimate.

  • @billiehicks1864
    @billiehicks1864 8 месяцев назад

    In short owning a pool is a money hole that never ends so dont buy a house with a pool thinking its better than one without or will automatically add value to your home being a better investment. Also most pool sercice guys dont really know what theyre doing and will cost you alot more money that way and be slowly but surely damaging your pool with improper maintenance education. If you own a pool take the time to understand pool chemistry and your equipment because the service guy only comes so often and youll need to know what to do in several situations they cant come that could cost you a ton of money if not!

    • @lauriekobor8513
      @lauriekobor8513 8 месяцев назад

      I have Starlink and my pool tech just phoned Pentair Customer Support because our Screen Logic system is not working. They said Starlink is incompatible. It is too fast and because of the changing IP addresses of the various satellites, the Screen Logic system is unable to connect. They recommended getting a slower wifi connection (🤪). Apparently the alternative is to get a new non wifi system with a remote control to control the Pentair equipment.

    • @PoolProfessor
      @PoolProfessor 5 месяцев назад

      I searched around the forms for any help on SLL and there’s other people reporting the same problem. As of 21 weeks ago, I did not see anyone find a resolution yet. It’s probably because the IP address is changing too often and the ScreenLogic system cannot keep up. When I read the Starling website, it says that Starl Link network is a dynamic network and the IP address will change from time to time for resilience and as the network capacity increases. They do not currently provide any static IP option. With that said normal home Internet is also dynamic, but it doesn’t change very often. Maybe once a month. You can probably patch this by adding a VPN such as tail scale, or tard, or setting up a dynamic DNS. So that the DNS name stays the same, but is always monitoring and forwarding to the dynamic IP address. For the DNS name you can go to no ip.com. I have used them for years and it’s been great for other applications.

      Yes. There are two different ScreenLogic interface kits that you can buy. The non-wireless one is part number 520500. It retails for around $545. The other one you see in the video is the wireless one and that one’s only $100 more or so, but has the wireless feature and 2 boxes.

    • @PoolProfessor
      @PoolProfessor 11 месяцев назад

      Oh, I misunderstood you. In order to do that you need to create different “circuits”, which is an item inside the menu. For example, create one for high flow and create another circuit named low flow. Inside the circuit to find the pump speed. Then on the schedule page like this video run, that circuit for has many hours as you need. and then run the other circuit for as many hours as you need. I’ll try to make a video on that in the next few days if I get time.
