I had a SuperFlo VST installed and connected to my existing SolarTouch controller via a communication cable. It has 8 pins and I believe it’s 356324Z. But the pump doesn’t work when ithe cable is connected— not via the controller and not even when I push the buttons manually. The pump display...

I just thought of switching the tubes into opposite connectors so air button #1 goes into switch relay #2, and button #2 goes into switch relay #1. To my surprise, the button I thought was bad works on the opposite switch, and the button I thought was good doesn’t work on the other switch. This...

One of my hot tub air buttons (for air blower) hasn’t worked for years. The air tube comes out of the ground where the equipment is and connects to another tube. If I disconnect the tubes and blow into the connecting tube, then it works— so I know it’s not an electrical issue. Bottom line is I...

Thank you. I’m havint trouble getting photos to upload but I’ll do my best to describe The 2 air switches go to 2 electrical boxes. One box has a wire going to the Intermatic timer and power switch, and another wire going to a small box attached to the pool pump, with another wire going to the...

We don’t have a separate pump for the hot tub. Instead. I have to turn the valves to go from main pool to the hot tub. When my kid pump one button, the pump turned off. Not only did it stop pumping, the whole pump shut down (LCD turned off). Why would pushing one of these buttons do that? It...

It’s a standalone. I don’t know the age for sure

I'm not sure why my post was deleted. I mistakenly made the post in the hot tub water chemistry subforum and then deleted it and posted it here. Now they are both gone Anyway, can anybody identify what manufacturer made this hot tub and what the buttons and dials do? It's about 6 ft across and...

I have the older Max-Flo VS. the program allows a certain number of hours at X RPM, then it either turns off or runs at low speed indefinitely after that. There’s no timer to repeat the cycle the following day, which is what I want; and which is what the Intermatic does. I just was worried that...

My pump is a Hayward Max-Flo VS. It does not have an internal timer that I’m aware of. The solar controller is a Pentair SolarTouch, which can be linked to a Pentair pump to coordinate the time, but it doesn’t do that with my existing pump. I don’t like the idea of using an external timing...

Bump I just want to make sure that it’s common or even acceptable practice to have the solar controller and get powered on and off on a daily basis like this. It’s essentially plugging and unplugging it every day without properly, turning it off from the controls

I just installed a solar pool system with a Pentair SolarTouch controller. The SolarTouch is hooked up to an Intermatic timer that also controls a variable flow pump. That means when the timer hits the “ON” tripper, both the pump and the solar controller turn on, and the “OFF” tripper turns them...

OK, so no particular advantages or design flaws? The slight incline makes sense. My priority is longevity.

Is there any downside to the horizontal Suntrek panels? Their ST panels also use separate tubes
