No, did not know this site. I will look into this. Thanks

Hi, I have a atypical request, i seems these valve actuator are hard to find in Europe where they are an easy catch in the US. That's why i'm looking for some friendly person to help me. I would need 3 of them. My idea is that you buy 3 of them and ship to Belgium. Of course i will pay for...

Well that would work for me! Can anyone confirm? So Ahrand that your case, you're happy with it, i see you are from Belgium too? I would love to have more info about your setup (Logo Siemens), i'm actualy looking to "make" my own automation too.

Thanks for your reply, i'm getting smarter every minute! I still don't understant fully the benefits of VF or VS pumps. If i'm correct i have to filter according following parameter: - Water temp under 12°c : filter time = water temp/3 - Water temp between 12°c and 28°c : filter time = water...

Ok, i heard about FC probes, do you know any system that has that?

Hi, In the meantime i have been reading quite a lot, and somewhere they say a VF pump is beter because when your filter gets dirty (sandfilter) the pump will ajust tu keep the right flow. With the VF pump you can also monitor the increased flow and automate the backwash when the increase is...

Do you have SWG or Liquid Chlorine dispenser? I heard that SWG is not the best option with in-water automatic cover (some corosion of the axel an motor), so i will have to go with Liquid Chlorine.

thanks for your answer, are there any downsides of keeping low CYA? and how do you achieve it?

Hello, I'm still in the proces of choosing my pool automation, and i would like to automate as much as possible. So i was thinking about pentair intellitouch and intellichem (with liquid chlorine dosing not SWG), but i read a lot of complains about ORP sensing (for chlorine regulation), not...

Brian, Thanks for the explanation, but i meant AUX INPUT. there are 3 of them on a i5

Brian, Thanks for your advice, VS it will be then. I'll a look at all this and eventually come back to you. Ps: I saw there are 3 aux inputs on the intellitouch, do you have any idea what the purpose and how they can be used/programmed?

Brian, You are probalby right, i will probably start with the basic then, it's just so unbeleavable that in 2016, with still have to use paper strokes to measure the pool water status. I would have think that a couple a sensor would habe been able to do the job. Thank you for the clarification...

Re: Information about Pentair intelli/easy touch & co Brian, thanks for the detailed reply, it's good to hear that the IC does run on itself without needing much care. Since i plan to have an automted poolcover, i will have much less evaporation, so i will hopefully not have to run the...

Brian, Thank you for your input, i took a look al your build and congrats, it looks awesome, what a job you did! I doulc not see much pictures of the technical room, with the pentair stuf... maybe you could post some detail pictures? Are you telling me you don't use you intelliph anymore? What...

Brian, thanks for the clarification, so if i intall the intellichem, i don't need intelliph. I think a saw a kit with intellichem + 1 pump + 1 canister + ORP. combined with intellichlor this is what need then i guess?
