Hello all! I'm on a mobile device so I haven't updated my profile yet--in a nutshell, 10k gunite freeform pool; previously controlled by a mechanical timer (now being used only as power disconnect). Pentair chlorine tab offline feeder, and heliocool (sp?) solar panels.
Up til yesterday, the solar was controlled manually with a 3 way Jandy valve.
My local pool store (who I have a long standing maintenance relationship with) sold me a new Intelliflo 2 pump and the Solartouch controller.
The installer was different than the previous one I've dealt with (it's been a few years since they have done Any work at the house). He basically didn't know anything about the solartouch, so I'm saddled with trying to figure it out on my own and the documentation isn't all that good.
Anyway, the controlling of the pump itself by the ST seems to work fine--When the temp of the solar probe is high enough, the pump ramps up, etc as it's supposed to--but I still want the pump to turn on in the morning, even if there isn't heating available. I have the override feature of the ST turned off, so the pump program should still work, correct? I'm at a loss about programming it all. I'm hoping someone here can help me understand it all.
Also, how do I run my pool cleaner?
Thanks, Scott
