Is the Pentair EasyTouch a good controller?

My PB just finished the re-model Friday. I am running my IC20 at 55% and it seems to be okay. My water temp right now is only 81. What kind of water temperature do you get in the summer? How long have you had your IC40? Do you supplement with liquid chlorine? Do you use the IC40's shock feature to shock your pool or do you use regular pool shock? Thanks for any info.

I have had mine since 3/2007. I live in Houston so my water is pretty warm (92+) in the summer. What chlorine levels do you plan on running? I run about 3-4ppm with 50 ppm of stablizer. I have only shocked once and I used the super chlorinate feature from the IC20. How well the IC40 will work for you also depends on your runtime. I have a 2HP pump for 18,500 gallons (somehwhat overkill) but only run 6-8 hours a day (half at night to load the chlorine with none getting used from the sun). This gives me 2+ turnovers a day and can maintain my chlorine in the summer with the IC40 set to 40-50%.
