@mas985 This is exactly the info I was looking for. I think I will take your advice and maybe leave room for the prefilter in the unlikely event circumstances change. You guys are awesome here. Thanks for your time and expertise. Richard

I am in the process of upgrading and changing some of my pool equipment. Changing from DE filter to Pentair Clean N Clear Plus 520 Efficient Filter. Install new Pentair VSF variable drive pump. Install Pentair Easy Touch 8 Automatic Control with Screenlogic and IC40 Intellichlor Salt System...

Will try both. Thanks so much.

I have a pentair smbw 4060 de filter looking to replace the o ring that sits between rotory valve and manifold. It isn't identified in any parts list. It comes along with a replacement rotary valve assembly but I don't need all that. You can see a peek at the oring I am talking about when...

Thanks for the link. Ran through the rest of the diagnostics in that manual. Guess I'm out 380 bucks. Ouch. Reprogramming the new one should be fun. Richard

So just got a closer look and it appears 120VAC being delivered to main board and there is 10 volts DC from pins 1 to 3. Im no electrician but given that info is it safe to say the display touchpad has gone bad? Took apart display and couldn't see anything obviously out of place but I...

Thanks for the quick replies. Immense help with installing pump yesterday. So far I have it wired up for low speed only. Plan on installing the switch later this week when I have time. I changed out all of the seals for new ones. Initial start up was a little lack luster as far as the pump...

Hope I can get a little help wiring up the new 2 speed motor I just recieved. WFE-8 motor is being switched out for a B2984 AO smith 2 speed 2hp motor. 240V wiring. I have an aqualogic PS4 controller. I know these controllers have the capability of controlling a 2 speed motor. I just need...

Thanks for the replies. I was looking at the B2984 motor you mentioned after reading that I need the same SF x HP rating in order to function appropriately and that is the only comparable two speed unit. I read somewhere I forget where that the impeller in the unit is matched to the SF X HP...

disclaimer: I am tying from my cell phone so please excuse the inevitable typo I currently have an 18000 gallon pool with attached spa, pentairDE filter 4000 series, single speed WFE 8 I believe 2 hp which I think is way overkill for my pool. The one water feature I do have rns off a separate...
