    I didn't use the fireman switch. I connected all three devices to the switch. The only thing the heater has a double pole switch between the heater and the timer. It is working. Thank you everyone.

    Wiring a heater, SWG and pump to an Intermatic timer

    the only problem with the heater not on the same timer as the pool pump is that fire switch will not work. pump can shut down and the heater can still be running. I will have a switch for the heater so that can shut down power to the heater from outside without shutting off the main breaker...

    Wiring a heater, SWG and pump to an Intermatic timer

    I like that idea. I will wire the heater to bypass the switch and use the wire that goes to the switch from the heater to connect SWG. should I have an extra on/off switch on the control panel for the heater o just hard wire to the junction box? What do you guys think? thank you!

    Pentair backwash valve/heater question

    Found another valve. Pentair 261177. Looks like it will work with my filter. Not sure what is different from P/N 263081.

    Pentair 300 DV doesn't turn on

    Thank you. I found this manual. It looks like it could be: 1 d . Dead A. Miswire B. Transformer bad C. Fuse/Circuit breaker bad D. Bad control I will check the transformer. I am getting power before the transformer so it is not circuit breaker.
