Hi all!
This is my first post, and I'm a complete newbie on pools, but I am enjoying reading these posts, and look forward to learning and helping more in the future.
Today my pool installer and I encountered an interesting issue on my new pool/spa. He'll call Pentair on Monday, but I thought it would I would also check with the experts here.
We have two intelliflo VSF pumps. One for the pool and spa, and one for the water feature. They are controlled by Intellicenter. We turn one VSF#1 on to filter the pool. (Pool setting) We then turn on the other VSF#2 to activate the water feature. When this happens, intellicenter seems tells the actuator/valve control that the spa is on. This causes water to be pulled from the spa, and it drains. The VSF#1 meanwhile is still filtering the pool. We have tried to set the actuator/valve control manually, but it simply causes the opposite problem. (i.e. if we turn off the water feature, then intellicenter tells the actuator/value that that the spa is on, and it drains...) What puzzles us, is that the toggle on/off of VSF#2 should not affect VSF#1 at all, so we are scratching our head.
Has anyone seen this issue? Is there a setting you may know of in Intellicenter to look at? (We have verified the circuits, electric set up, etc..., so we are down to a possible software issue.) We also have the latest firmware.
thanks all for any hints or help
