I just asked Pentair Tech Support about that part # and received this response: "That’s for the old style board that is no longer being produced, I can assure you its no longer needed or used. Its all to the fireman’s switch fuse-" Very frustrating. Does anyone have any other contacts @...

The last reply I got from their tech support: "I am telling you do not use the RS485 on the heaters anymore on the docs provided the unit goes to the fireman’s switch fuse the Rs485 is no longer used for automation- I have spoken with our internal trainer to confirm." This doesn't make any...

I recently purchased a 400K BTU Pentair MasterTemp heater to replace my old Sta-Rite heater. The website advertises RS485 capabilities, yet the heater which I received (with a very recent build date of Feb-2021) does not have this capability. The manual included also has a revision date of...

The existing system has been running well for the past 13 years, and the in floor was designed by Paramount for the pool builder. This is how most of their systems are designed (two pumps) and it requires around 50 gpm I believe (I've tried to read up on them since I inherited this system). I'm...

@JamesW I have 2 pumps because of the Paramount floor system. The pool was installed by a prior owner, but I have read posts from multiple installer and pool builders who say that a dedicated pump significantly reduces problems related to keeping sufficient flow to the heads without having to be...

Jim, Thanks for the replies. The reason I was thinking about running the heater off of the floor pump is twofold - first the heater and floor system both require high flow to work, and second the floor system distributes the heated water very nicely throughout the pool. This would allow me to...

We have a 28,000g gunite IG pool with PCC2000 in floor system, a broken Jandy AquaPure SWG, currently running on 2 pumps. Originally both single speed running on a timer. A couple years ago I replaced the filter/heater pump with an Intellipro. Now we're looking to install a slide, and I'm...

Making me even more confused, for 3 days now everything has been unplugged (running normally), and we've lost less than an inch of water. Could this possibly be a hydrostatic relief valve leaking? I'm not sure if I have one, but I'm going to try to dig up the original pool plans and see if it's...

Please ignore all the weeds...
