Pentair Intelliflo VS wiring to Easytouch

[willy17]

Hi Everyone,
I have done my best to research this on my own without asking for more help but I am stuck. I’ve gone through old posts, and tried to search out my solution...
I am getting communication lost and power outage alarms, I am pretty sure this is due to my wiring. I have attached a photo and look forward to any thoughts to improve. If I can clarify anything from it to help you help me let me know and I will get on it!
To clarify wires to the relay that aren’t easy to see on photo:

On relay 1:
2 screw - to the top 20A CB
4 screw - to pump and yellow to SWG transformer
6 screw - to lower 20A
8 screw - to pump and white to SWG transformer

Thanks everyone. As a first time pool owner, this forum has been so great.

Willy,

Well, it could be because the IntelliFlo is supposed to get constant power from the GFCI breaker. That power is supposed to go from the breaker to the pump without going though any relays..

The IntelliFlo is NOT controlled by the Pump/Filter relay, like a single speed pump would be.. The IntelliFlo is controlled by a serial cable between the EasyTouch and the pump.

The pump is also supposed to be powered by a GFCI breaker, although that is not what is causing your current problem.. (Not sure if that is true in Canada or not???)

Thanks,

Jim R.

The easy fix is to just move the pump wires from the load side of the relay to the line side... The SWCG transformer wires stay on the Load side..

I knew I was overthinking it. So simple, thank you. Will update if that fixes errors!! Have a great night. As for the GFCI - licensed electricians did the work and it passed inspections, so I guess I’m good??

Hi Jim, just wanted to thank again. Made the switch yesterday, everything running the way it should, no more alerts.
