    Pentair Mastertemp 400 controls

    Thanks. I've had them set the same and seems my ET's water temp was off a couple degrees. So I adjusted that but then was wondering why heater would kick off. I figured that would be the work around. Sad that I spent all this money for automation, and still have to improvise settings. Maybe I...

    Pentair Mastertemp 400 controls

    I am noticing that my ET is not controlling the heater in a funny way. I can set heat to 92* on the ET settings, but if the heater is set at 90*. It will shut off. Only way to hook up heater to panel is by fireman's switch. No other connections are available. Am I right in guessing that the...

    Dolphin E10

    Been having it a while. Noticed today it doesn't want to move. Inspected it and came to the conclusion the drive system is shot. Main drive wheel hubs are nearly gone. Scrubbing roller is sloppy. Gears will not catch as they should. Is it worth fixing if I have to buy all new drive parts and...

    Pentair SL PA

    Here is a pic while it is connected directly to my PC. That light indicates ethernet is connected. Other light is off because I cannot directly communicate to the PA. Taking that same cable and removing it from PC and connect directly to ATT modem, right next to it, that light does not come on...

    Pentair SL PA

    New router will be here tomorrow. I did have to change the IP range and DNS on the previously meshed router that I tried for now. I do recall ip range being 192.168.1. So I did set that up. Still nothing firmware is 5.2.738 The thing that stumps me is the lights indicating ethernet connection...

    Pentair SL PA

    Read a ton of posts but nothing really mentioned my issues. Over last weekend we had a lightning strike that fried my main router. The SL PA was on a meshed router opposite exterior wall where panel is. Everything worked fine until that day. So I could run my wifi items on the mesh routers side...

    Heater settings

    That makes sense in the event it was on a schedule. If I turn it on, then it could. Either way, the pump could start up 1st to get water flowing, then have heater start up "IF" water temp is below set temp. Likely would only need a bit of programming.

    Looks like the upgrade panel would cost about $1k.

    Heater settings

    To be fair, I didn't know the difference between ET and IC at the time. I never had a system like this. Guess I should have done a bit more research on what equipment I was getting. Came from a Hayward SWG and single speed pump system on Intermatic timer. Well, even moving SWG, the system will...

    Heater settings

    Here is how my panel is wired. Yes pump/IC is on Aux2, but behind mb the connections are swapped with 1 & 2. And, @ajw22 , as you can see, I do not have GFCI CB on pump or heater. Not sure why they didn't add that. I will look into adding those 2 GFCI breakers. OAN, I see the heater is not on...

    Heater settings

    Yes. I have. User manual says 40gpm min. I have my pump set just above that. So at this time, if pump/IC circuit is on, I can turn on heater and rpm on pump will slow to the specified gpm output. I find that the slower I pump water the better it is heated. Faster flow and water doesn't heat as...
