Great video! Just what I needed. My spa temp is reading 197 degrees and obviously needs replacing.

I have to replace a Pentair solar sensor. The wire goes under a wall and a concrete walkway. Can I just wire nut the wires where it's convenient and avoid the whole wire routing fiasco? Thx!

@@tomcat9177 oh I don’t know, I’m sorry I don’t have a solar sensor on my pool. I hope that you can… best of luck.

Is it possible to calibrate the sensor? After replacing my broken one with a brand new one, it seems to work, but the reading is off by 8-10 degrees.

[@averagejoesjimshomeprojects]

There is a way to calibrate it, in the Pentair SLConfig App, under General Settings, there is a “sensor calibration” setting. Should be fine for a sensor only a few degrees off like yours.

Don't have a pool. But good to see a video from you. For me, pyro = a ton of messy scab wires, mini hubs, cables and networking chaos at times. You actually ended up with a fairly clean box! Good job. Impressed.

Thanks for the kind words! Yes sorry for the long wait for a project. Planning a few soon to get going on, I’ve just been putting them off too long. Thank you for being a supporter of the channel!

Great video. I have the same pump and filter. Just installed an Intelliconnect and found this video helpful.

Glad you enjoyed the video! I hope you never have a problem with your new system!
