The actuators in the EasyTouch system are DC --- not AC -- so, you need a 24vdc spdt for the EasyTouch relay. I'm not clear on your setup, but wiring 2 actuators together would not have helped me at all -- I need to control each of my 3 actuators independently - having them operate together...

I've done some searching and while I have read a lot of posts from people who have had GFCI/Pump issues, none seem to be identical to what I am experiencing. I'm hoping others can shed some light as to what might be making my breaker trip. I have a Pentair EasyTouch 8 Panel with a StaRite...

Re: Wiring Intelliflo Pump to Easy Touch panel OK - I completed my re-wire yesterday based on everything I read on this site and in the Pentair Manual. Previously my VS Intellipro pump had been wired to the Pump Relay -- I have removed the connection to the relay and wired the pump directly...

Finally got it correct --- here is the correct wiring for the IDEC SPDT that I purchased in case others follow a similar path: Top section --- 1) RED wire is spliced and connected to BLACK wire from Actuator - NOTE: for The Pentair/Compool CVA24 Actuator, the BLACK wire is COMMON; the RED &...

Post removed to eliminate confusion for any future reader of this thread..... See my post below for the correct wiring photos and description.

Re: I have a need for a third valve for my system Thanks Jason - I played with it for way too long today and couldn't get it to work... what you said makes total sense -- I'll test it out again tomorrow. Right now I have the 'red' 24V wire from the EZ touch breaker spliced into the black...

Control third valve with Easytouch 8 OK - I spent most of today trying to get my actuator working... I think I'm close, but it is not quite there. I thought that I had followed the wiring diagrams from the previously linked thread perfectly, but here is my result: When I hit the 'Aux 7'...

Does anybody have wiring pictures they can post of an EasyTouch with a VS Intelliflow Pump and an IC40 transformer? My dipole 20a GFCI breaker is tripping on an almost daily basis. It looks as if the original electrician for my pool has the IC40 transformer and the pump wired sharing this same...

Hi all, I've been reviewing this thread as I have a need for a third valve for my system. I purchase and received the IDEC 24v DC SPDT (http://www.alliedelec.com/search/produc ... u=70172638) and base (http://www.alliedelec.com/search/produc ... U=70174848) from Newark. My actuator is a...

I originally posted this in 'pumping station', but probably should have started here.... I do not think it is possible to move the original post, so I am creating a new one here. As of today, our Pentair UltraTemp 'thinks' the water temperature is 105 degress --- it is really only 75 degrees...

Related to my earlier post -- why is my UltraTemp is reading the actual water temperature at 105 degrees while the EasyTouch is reading it at 78? What would cause this error and how can I correct/fix it?

We have owned our pool for just over a year - we have a Pentair EasyTouch and UltraTemp heater. The installer originally configured the heat pump to be controlled directly from its front panel - not from the EasyTouch. This was not really a problem for us... until today... Somehow, the...

Ouch - very sorry to read about the issues you are having. We had our FG pool installed late last year and I can confirm that they took a VERY long time to set the pool initially on the ground. Furthermore, they did not finish setting the pool (e.g. it was still hooked up to the crane) until...

Re: Looking for Robot Rec's for FIBERGLASS- Got the Polaris Here's a quick video that I shot - note that my water temp was pretty low this day ~58 degrees. Anyhow, you can see the 9400 easily climbing over the toe kick and cleaning the waterline...

Re: Looking for Pool Robot Reccomendations for FIBERGLASS Po So - my new 9400 arrived yesterday and my initial impressions are "WOW!" We had a couple of bad wind days and my pool was pretty dirty. I thew the 9400 in and watched it work its magic. I did not expect it to be great on the walls...

Re: Blue Hawaiian Olympic Bay 41x16 FG Build - SE Pennsylvan Thanks for the feedback harleysilo. Here is an up close pic of the umbrella holder with the screw-in plug installed. It screws down flush with the deck and you barely notice them at all. I can't think of any reason NOT to do this...

Open for the season! We took advantage of our anxiousness as well as the unseasonably warm weather over the past 2 weeks to open our pool for the season. Using the heat pump, I was able to raise the water temperature from 49 up to 82 in a matter of a few days - the weather helped a lot as we...

Re: Looking for Pool Robot Reccomendations for FIBERGLASS Po Thanks everybody for your insight and thanks BlakeJ for the video/review links. I'm gonna order the 9400 and give it a shot. From all the information I've gathered, there is no 'perfect' robot - all of them require some manual...

I'm not familiar with Lonestar FG, but we just had a Blue Hawaiian FG installed last year and are very pleased. I did evaluate Leisure and probably would have gone that direction, but they did not have a mold that met my needs. I can vouch for the fact that going FG did not save any initial...

Re: Looking for Pool Robot Reccomendations for FIBERGLASS Po BlakeJ - Thanks for the link to the review. I read through that one and some of the others on the blog page. It was good to read some detailed and constructive feedback of a few of the units. A couple more - and probably final -...

Re: Looking for Pool Robot Reccomendations for FIBERGLASS Po Thanks for the information on the Nitro, Ken & Shari. His easy is it to clean/empty the filter cartridge or bag of that unit? The primary feature of the Polaris which appeals to me is how simple and clean this process is with their...

Re: Looking for Pool Robot Reccomendations for FIBERGLASS Po Hey blakej - Any update on the 9400 footage? My pool was opened up last week and I am soon to be in desperate need of a robot (using my PB robot for the time being). Thanks!

Re: Looking for Pool Robot Reccomendations for FIBERGLASS Po blakej, Very interested to hear your impressions on how the 9400 stacked up against the 9300 - can you share your take? Is the 9400 worth the extra $$? Looking forward to seeing the comparison footage. jhav

Re: Looking for Pool Robot Reccomendations for FIBERGLASS Po Thanks for the insight on the 9300 blakej. My pool does indeed have a toe kick -- it runs from around the middle of the pool all the way around the deep end wall. I guess it is impossible to say at this point whether the new 9400...

We had a 16x41 rectangular Fiberglass pool installed late last Fall which we have yet to swim in --- however, with the weather starting to turn, we are hoping to open by April at the latest. Sorry to start such a similar thread when there are others with activity on this same board... but while...

I did some searching and could not locate a response to this one. I have a Cover-Pools auto cover installed with the Accessory Board. My goal is to have the Accessory Board ensure that the actuators for both my laminar jets and my slide are in the 'off' position whenever the pool cover is...

Nice progress. Love the dogs.

My Homemade Umbrella Stands/sleeves cramar - Thanks! It has been a lot of work, but really a lot of fun pulling this project together. Shingar - Here are some close-up pics of the umbrella stands/sleeves that I built: It was really simple to build ---I purchased a 10 ft long, 1.5"...

Looks great! Great call on light placement - ours are also placed on the wall closest to our house and look fantastic at night without the 'glare' in your face. You'll have fun playing with the lights once they are wired in - especially considering you won't be swimming for a few more months...

Re: New FG Pool - SE Pennsylvania While things have slowed dramatically over the past few weeks - mainly as a result of our 'almost' being done our pool build project - there have been a few developments. Mainly, the installation of the auto-cover and the installation of a new aluminum fence...
