Hey folks - right now the pool water looks spectacular. But it's a tad on the chilly side. I've got a salt water system and a heater but everything is good right now. But what I'd like to do is set it up so that I have one "function" where the everything runs, one where the heater is off ("Salt Only") and one where the saltwater (Intellichlor) is off ("Heat Only").
Usually the IC runs when the pump is on. I figure though that, if it's possible I could set the IC to 0% and let it be powered on and achieve my "off" function. That way, if I just want to run the heater manually, I'm not throwing my salt/chlorine off. By the same token, I want the pump and IC to run at night, but I don't want the heater heating up water at 2am while we're asleep.
I had a brief call with Pentair and didn't get much out of it. But I was thinking I could do all of the above on different "circuits" and get my desired effect.
Am I on target? Cause my first attempt at doing so failed miserably - clearly I need help there. Or is this just not possible??
Thanks!
Don
