Greetings all,

I'm looking for some advice regarding an ongoing issue with my pool installer. In the fall of 2009 we had an in ground fiberglass pool installed (San Juan Mandalay Bay). This pool has an attached spa. We have a full Penatir set up with heater, IntelliClor, 2 speed pump, cartridge filter, EasyTouch panel and remote. We have three Nexxus Savi lights installed with two in the pool and one in the spa.

Our main concern is that we can never get the lights in sync, so the pool is in a different colour or mode than the spa. The EasyTouch panel can only cycle through the light settings by turning them on and off. However the panel can specifically assign colours and modes if the lights were IntelliBrite.

After the entire 2010 season I was finally able to identify why the panel could not properly control the lights. When I asked my installer why they used all Pentair equipment for everything but the lights. Their response was that the Savi lights are far better than the Pentair lights.

I find it strange that there would really be a big enough difference between the two brands of lights that would justify giving up the integration with the panel and the full functionality of the lights.

Can anyone verify this statement before I make a stink and have them replaced when we open the pool?

Thanks so much!

David
