    VSP issues

    Is there any way to test the breaker? Right now it wont stay on long enough to test. It tested fine by multimeter a few days ago. Also tested fine at the pump.

    VSP issues

    So I flipped the breaker on to count the flashing alarm lights. The breaker immediately trip but the light flash for a few seconds. The Alarm light just keeps flashing. The On light flashes 7 times which is the "Power out alarm". So the tripped breaker is getting me a Power Out Alarm...

    VSP issues

    So I check out the voltage at the motor and it is fine. I unplug the controller cable. Nothing comes on. I flip the breaker one last time and it comes back on. It ran yesterday fine. Today it keeps tripping the breaker after a couple of seconds. The "On" light flashes green and red and the...

    VSP issues

    A new Intelliflo costs at least 2x what I am looking at. I just found out the 3hp version of the pump I want is on backorder. May have to go the 1.5hp route anyway.

    VSP issues

    I will check that out when I get home this afternoon. Will a 1.5hp VSP be sufficient? I have a Hayward 6020 DE filter system. Two bubblers and no other water features.

    VSP issues

    Thanks for the help. What is the RS-485 connector? Is that the round black cable coming out of the controller on the top of the motor? I have the correct voltage leaving the breaker. I didn't wand to unhook the wiring on the motor yesterday to check it at the motor itself.

    VSP issues

    I have a Pentair Intelliflo VS3050 that was installed in 2010 (model with control pad but now LCD screen) controlled by a Suntouch. It stopped working over the weekend. When I flip the breaker off and then on again I hear a thunk at the pump but nothing happens. Impeller spins by hand. There...

    Generating too much chlorine

    right now the chlorine level seems to be in line. Took the some water to get tested and they said everything was in balance. The chlorine was on the high side of normal but they said that should go down since I adjusted the SWCG down the day before. I realized Saturday that I've been running...

    Generating too much chlorine

    Turns out I had a Pentair test kit. The reading was brighter yellow that the scale went. The only numerical demarcation for the amount of chlorine was 3CL. I don't know what that means. The test strips I have say its around 10ppm. I turned the SWCG down to 10%. On top of that it's been...

    Generating too much chlorine

    I'll get a kit and test it. I just figured the strong chlorine smell and "high" reading went with the stinging eyes. Didn't have the smell when I was just running on one speed and chlorine was in the "ok" range. I just recently figured out the suntouch and got the schedules to run the way I...

    Generating too much chlorine

    I don't know the actual number for the Chlorine. On my test strips it is dark purple, which correlates to high on the bottle. You can smell chlorine on your hands after dipping them into the water. The kids complain about their eyes stinging pretty quickly.

    Generating too much chlorine

    I have a AquaRite generator for a 40,000 gal. The pool is roughly 21-22,000 gallons. I have a Intelliflo VS-3050 run by a suntouch and a hayward DE filter. I run the pump at 1200 rpm for 18 hours and 2700 rpm for 4 hours (to boost my cleaner). I have turned my generator down to 30% and I am...
