When I first started out in the pool business in 1982, there were only a handful of choices one could make in regards to what equipment to use. It amazes me when I read all of your posts in this particular subject posting, just how far the technology has come. The choices can be overwhelming. Alot of guys like me tend to stick to what has been best for us in the long run. It has been my experience that: Sta-Rite used to be considered the best until they started having problems with their hair and lint pots. Hayward stepped up in the 90s, re-tooled and re-invented themselves. They took a big chunk of the market and then pi__ed it away by not honoring their warrantry on any of their product. Pentair stepped in and changed the market from there and in the process, they backed their product with an unsurpassed warranty. Now they seem to question every warranty. Everyone has had a different experience which of course will shape their views. Here is the question I have of all of you: Do you do the right thing? Do you take care of your customers and do you honor your word? Whether you are a builder or service person or manufacturers rep, do you show by you actions that you have integrity in a business that has been known to be full of thieves,liars and cheats? I love doing what I do, and it is always so rewarding when you have a client that has had a bad experience with somebody else that has done work for them, tell you how much they appreciate someone that did what they said they would do and did it when they said they would do it, for the price they said they would do it for. You can argue all you want about what equipment is best or what computer software is best but the most important thing should be to set yourself apart by doing the right thing by people. The homowners in this forum look to all of us as professionals to steer them in the right direction before, during and after their pool or spa experience. Let's concentrate on that above all else. The one poster that should be crowned King for all of his insight and help to homeowners and professional alike is "repair guy". You are the man!!!

Apple has said that all 150,000 iPhone apps should work without a problem on the iPad. I will report in on Monday after I get mine. Pesh - you can create a macro in the ScreenLogic PC configuration setup. On page 2 of 5, you can create a new Feature Circuit and call it Lights. Then go into the Feature Circuit Configuration button and check off what existing circuits will come on when you activate Lights. After this, assign it to show up on the Water Features/Main page. Then it will show up on the Circuits page of the iPhone interface. Note: for a circuit to show up on the iPhone circuits page, it has to be assigned a location in ScreenLogic (Pool, Spa, or Water Features).

Is the MobileTouch remote still turning on? Does it only turn on when it is plugged into the wall charger? I would contact Pentair's Technical Support. They should be able to help you troubleshoot it. It could be that your system's address has changed and the remote just needs to be locked on again. See the section on SET HOUSE ADDRESS and MOBILETOUCH in this document: http://www.pentairpool.com/pdfs/intellitouchQSG.pdf Here is a link that might be useful: IntelliTouch Quick Start Guide

2. Is there anyway to go lower and have the spa spillway look nice without having to buy a dedicated pump for the spa? Yes, program a SPILLWAY so 100% of the water goes into the spa. Right now, you are cranking up the flow to get the desired effect but some is going to the pool. Try that. SPILLWAY is a circuit function. 3. I want to use feature 1 to tell the pump to kick into high speed when spa mode is actuated, but I can not figure how to do this. Nope, you can't program FEATURE 1 or 2. Assign the speed to SPA and when you hit spa it will kick up. Nope, same as above. Set it to any FEATURE (3-9) and call it SWEEP or whatever. You can make a custom name and call if George if you want, otherwise us the generic names available. 5. Does the pump programming override the indoor control panel, or does the control panel override the pump? The pump was supposed to come on this morning at noon, but did not. It seems like I have to use the controller to do this. Do I have to program the indoor controller too, or does the pump let it know what programs that I type in? You can program from the pump and as soon as you plug in the pump on the RS485 cable and are in AUTO, the pump display will indicate not active. It is then under control of the IT. If it is not coming on, you need to check the assignments and the programming. Make sure you have a POOL assignment. Keep in mind, most of your issues are in your IntelliTouch set-up. This is not a pump issue. It will work on its own. If you do not program the IT properly, it will take awhile to dial in but it will happen.
