For a new system I would go with either a Pentair IntelliCenter or Hayward OmniPL as they are comparable systems for your needs. In a previous posting you mentioned you have Heliocol solar? You should Create Your Signature so we have a full picture of your system.

I've used a basic Orbit Mechanical Timer which worked for me, but I also set an alarm. If you're filling that frequently you might want to look into an AutoFill. https://www.troublefreepool.com/wiki/index.php?title=AutoFill

You've done well by joining this site as there are a lot of knowledgeable people here to bounce ideas off. Regarding equipment your PB will likely stick with a single brand as it's likely they get discounts from the manufacturer they work with. Not necessarily a bad thing but something to be...

You can run a Hayward TriStar or MaxFlo with your Aqualogic. @mas985 might know if there are other models that will work. With regards to the cartridge filter compatibility I don't know. But you would get a new set when you purchase the filter anyway.

You need to check if your Aqualogic board is version 2.65 or higher to support a VS pump. For the cartridge filter you could also look at Waterway. https://www.polytecpools.com/Waterway-Crystal-Water-525-Sq-Ft-Cartridge-Filter_p_7570.html

Would second replacing with a VS pump unless you plan on moving soon. There is a bigger upfront cost, but the energy savings are worth it in the longer term. We can offer suggestions if you give us a ballpark budget for a replacement pump...

The other aspect is how often and how long do you run your heater?

It's fine to leave the heater on 24/7, are you running the heater on a schedule or just manually. Another pump you could look at is the Waterway Power Defender 270 which is a little cheaper. It does also have an AUX relay built in but it will only activate if pump is running over 2100 RPM.

You can also look at the Nidec Neptune, they have a 2.25thp model. vSQ5lkaeNSU

Depending on the condition of the pump body you can get a replacement motor. Take a look at the Nidec Neptune or VGreen Evo variable speed motors. OF62tF8lq0c

I would also look at the IntelliFlo3 VSF from Pentair.

Can you share how you got it working manually? Others reading this in the future with the same problem might need help. Are you able to connect to the power supply using Bluetooth? I wonder if either it or your router had a software update recently. You could also try using a smartphone to...

Do you have a Superflo or Intelliflo pump? What automation system do you use, is it EasyTouch? If so, do you have ScreenLogic? Would recommend that you Create Your Signature with your equipment so that you will get better help with your questions.

I assume most people would prefer using their smartphones, but if anyone has a need for a wireless remote that you can use with njsPC take a look at the thread below. It uses a cheap 433Mhz remote control paired to a RPI Pico with some additional components...

Since the file is named main.py that means that this code will automatically run after boot.py has completed. So by restarting the device using "Stop/Restart backend" in Thonny or by simply plugging the USB connector into a power supply the program will run and listen for button presses from...
