How does one figure out how fast to run their pump in the following situations? FWIW, I have a Pentair Intelliflo VSF. 1. Heating the pool through pool solar (I have Heliocor hill-mounted solar). What’s optimal? 2. Just running my pool sweep for cleaning. Again, what’s optimal and how...

Hi folks, I have a Pentair Intelliflo VSF along with Heliocol solar pool heating. I’d really like to be able to measure pool temperature right at the pump, but I dont see any thermocouples or anything else that gives me that information. Is it possible to hook something up to the Intelliflo...

I'm trying to calibrate my solar sensor, as I just don't believe what it's telling me. In the EasyTouch manual, it says to put the EasyTouch into Service mode, press the Filter Pump button, and then go to Settings->Calibration to calibrate the sensors. This works fine when I try to calibrate...

I want to replace my white pool light with the Intellibrite 5G color-changing LED. Simple me thought it would be similar to replacing any old light bulb, but when I try to buy it, I notice it has a 30' cord. What am I supposed to do with that...

Am I supposed to leave the system in Solar Preferred mode always? If I do, will solar ALWAYS run, or will it only turn on when it recognizes the solar sensor is a high enough temperature that it will actually result in heating the pool? I just got solar installed, and I'm still trying to...

I've been having all kinds of problems since getting pool solar installed, and the latest problem is that I can no longer manually turn on/off the filter pump. The only way to do this is to put the EasyTouch into Service mode. The second I switch back to Auto mode, the filter pump immediately...

I just got a Heliocol pool solar system installed, and this morning, I just wanted to turn on the pump to make sure everything was still working. Everything *seemed* fine, until I went in the house and realized there was a loud humming noise that was never there before. The pipes are directly...

We've decided to have a pool party in 24 hours, and my pool currently sits at 62 degrees. I'm turning on the gas heater now (Pentair MasterTemp) and just realized I have no idea how fast I should be pumping water through it. I checked the manual and it said 30GPM was the minimum. How do I...

I estimate I have a 36,000 gallon pool. Recently, I bought a Pentair Intelliflo variable speed pump (to save money), as well as a FlowViz so I could see exactly how much water my pump was pumping. Prior to the FlowViz, I was running the pump at 1500rpm for 6 hours a day, happily counting all...

I just bought a house that has an Intellichlor over with the pool equipment. It appears like it's brand new, but isn't hooked up, and looks like it's missing a power cord. Does anyone know what I need to do to get this working? Is it something I can do on my own? I have an EasyTouch control...

I just recently purchased a new house with a pool, and I'm still trying to learn about it. I just got ScreenLogic working (very happy with it so far), and I noticed my EasyTouch firmware is currently at 1.050 (Controller model is EasyTouch1 8). Should I worry about upgrading? It ain't broke...
