Pentair Pool Automation Upgrade

It was a Great Day for another successful Pentair Pool Automation Installation.

The following pool automation project is one that took place in Oceanside, CA.

Pool Automation Before:

Pool Automation After:

This was a very nice pool Automation upgrade from a hybrid pool system using Hayward and Compool pool automation. We used a Pentair EasyTouch upgrade for the legacy compool automation system with a Pentair Screen Logic 2 web interface for mobile devices. The reason for the upgrade was to give the homeowners total control over their pool automation system needs. After the upgrade they could control all of their pool features, spa features and spa jets, pool/spa lights, valves and pool chlorine production from their Pentair IC40 salt cell system. This amazingly now all can be done by the touch of a finger from their iPhone or android mobile devices. We also installed an upgraded 4 circuit EasyTouch indoor control panel for in house system changes.

The owners of the house at this particular project wanted a good variable speed pump, so swim care pool services installed a top of the line trade series Intelliflo 2 VST variable speed pump from Pentair pool systems.

The current pool filter was a Hayward Diatomaceous Earth pool filter. The homeowner who cleans his filter frequently, wanted to have a cleaner system installed to avoid the messy and health hazardous DE from his pool system. So on this particular job we installed a Pentair Clean and Clear 420 pool filter. Yep, problem solved! No more messy and health causing concerns over the old Diatomaceous earth pool filter. Oh, and it looks a whole lot sexier too I might add.

The current pool salt chlorine generator was a Hayward T Cell system and wasn’t working to produce chlorine for the pool to keep it well sanitized for the homeowner. We upgraded the old Hayward pool salt system with a new top of the line Pentair Intellichlor salt cell system. The customer now has piece of mind that their pool is indeed producing chlorine to keep the pool optimally sanitized.

Unfortunately, The last pool equipment installer didn’t install a check valve on the return side before the pools salt system. The problem with not installing a check valve is that when the pool equipment turns off, the chlorine that sits in the salt cell can flow back and corrode your heating elements and exchangers in your pool heater. This has a negative effect and gives you less life out of your pool heater. By installing a check valve in these everyday setups we save customers thousands of dollars on a $100.00 item, yes it’s a no brainer for sure!

Lastly, we upgraded the customers old incandescent pool lights in the pool and spa with the highly innovative and efficient Pentair Intellibrite 5G underwater color LED lights. This upgrade gave them several color choice options to set that special mood.

Pool Skimmer Leak Repair

On this particular project we had used our highly sophisticated leak detection equipment to pinpoint one structural leak in this customers pool. We also located a bad skimmer box for the pool that had shifted with the movement of the earth. It’s very common in Southern California and swim care pool services understands how to locate these underground leaks. See in the photos below on this project how we were able to blend the color of the concrete with the previous color dye. This was one of the customers concerns since we had to saw cut the entire skimmer box out. We also noticed there was a structural pool leak in the old skimmers throat.

La Jolla Pool Leak Detection

Today Swim Care Pool Services tested, the pool, spa and auto fill valve water networks on one of our great customers in La Jolla,ca. The return side and suction side for both the pool and spa held at 5-7 PSI for 10-15 minutes. Swim Care Pool Services tested the pools main drains with our electronic listening device and heard no indications of main drain leaks. The pools dedicated auto cleaner line was pressure tested and held a consistent 5-7 PSI over 10-15 minutes. Swim Care Pool Services also tested water rise and loss using a leak analytics device, old technology refers to this as a bucket test that takes 24-48 hours to perform. Swim Care Pool Services also dye tested in several areas around the skimmer boxes and the pool and spa light fixtures, we heard no indications of water leaving the pools return network while performing this test. Swim Care Pool Services of San Diego cut out a faulty ball valve over at the equipment pad for the auto fills main water feed line. The current one was faulty and the water was not shutting off as a result. Upon further observation on the pools auto fill, we found that the auto fill was cockeyed and not vertical as it should be. It could have moved in the past do to faulty construction of the original builder. The auto fill box per technical instructions are supposed to be filled with sand around housing so they do not shift or move without natural weather condition causes, earth movement, etc. The pool auto fills 1” inch drain pipe was also clogged resulting in the water returning to the pool through the 1.5” inch equalizer line. Filling the pool and exiting over the wall by the pools automatic pool cover. Until further notice, now that the auto fills ball valve is now working we have left the valve shut to save unused water until a repair is agreed on. Swim Care Pool Services recommends having the irrigation company test and look at all irrigation stations for any other possible leaks on the premises. We also recommend replacing or fixing the current auto cleaner, it is not working correctly.
