I am planning for an Easy Touch install and am looking for wiring advice from someone familiar with installation.
From the manual: ( http://www.pentairpool.com/pdfs/LoadCenterIG.pdf )
"The EasyTouch and IntelliTouch automation control circuit board requires 120 VAC, 3A
power to operate the control logic circuits and the optional IntelliChlor salt chlorine generator.
This power should be connected to one of the circuit breakers in the sub-panel"
My current subpanel is fed 60 AMPs from the main panel in the house. I intend to replace the old subpanel with the pentair unit if the wires will reach the lugs.
Current panel contains one 20 amp 220/240 circuit for the 2hp superflo pump, one 20amp 120 circuit for the pool lights, and one 20 amp 120 circuit for the floodlights and outlets.
Which one of those circuits should feed the control panel its 3 Amps?
The comment about the intellichlor in the above confuses me because later in the manual it says to power the intellichlor off the load side of the pump relay. This in itself confused me as I am not sure how the easy touch would manage the intellichlor if it keeps getting turned off with the pump (which I realize it also controls).
Can someone straighten me out?
