I posted a while back that my intelliflo vsp loses its internal clock whenever the power goes out for more than 10 seconds (it resets to 12:00). The issue is that there are times that my booster pump will wind up running when the pump is off due to the power reset (the booster pump runs off a intermatic time (the yellow circle ones). whelp my booster pump burned out due to this (was away for a week and house had a 30 minute blackout).
To fix the intelliflo would cost somewhere north of 1,000 (thats how much the drive costs).
I am thinking of ways to bypass the clock issue with the intelliflo and I am thinking that sometype of automation system would be best.
Does the intellisync or intelliconnect bypass the clock on the intelliflo? Meaning if the power goes off, then on, would the intellisync or intelliconnect fix the clock once the power goes back?
Also, I think getting a system that I can connect the booster pump and the vsp pump maybe best, but I have a budget for it. I was thinking of doing a intellisync and a digital intermatic in combo but the price is about the same as the intelliconnect.
I am not interested in running the pool pump 24/7 due to the electrical prices lately.
Any thoughts?
