    What thermistor for Aqua Rite Pro (not the non-Pro)?

    I zoomed in on a few board images until I could make out the number

    What thermistor for Aqua Rite Pro (not the non-Pro)?

    The fuse is labeled F3 on the board to the left of the missing thermistor boxed in green labeled R48 on the board. The markings on the fuse show it is rated 250V 2A manufacturer is Littlefuse, you should test it for continuity to see if it is blown, but the thermistor is definitely blown. Looks...

    Natural gas to propane

    Very good advice above to talk to your gas company and get another plumbers(pref gas specialist) opinion. There should be no reason to replumb your house unless the lines are damaged and/or leaking. If your appliances are working well then it's fine (blue flames, not orange) otherwise would...

    jonpcar - no, nothing published for my system, still very much a work in progress. Just last night I added a control to shut off the solar heat when the pool gets too warm as it got up to 89F yesterday. the Milone tapes look interesting, my trouble for level sensing is that being able to get...

    Homebrew automation with HomeAssistant and MQTT - Pentair Maxflow VS Automation pinout

    They are rated for accuracy of +/- .9F and the few times I checked against a Thermapen they matched. I got these but there are countless waterproof DS18B20 sensors listed, I think they are all the same, just different sellers I started with just running them off a GPIO pin with a 4.7k pullup...

    Homebrew automation with HomeAssistant and MQTT - Pentair Maxflow VS Automation pinout

    The easiest way I found to mount the 1-wire sensors was to cut my pipe and glue in a tee. In the tee I glued in a 2" slip to 3/4" threaded reducer. I used a 3/4" threaded PVC plug, drilled a hole the sized of the sensor then glued the sensor in with JB Weld. The threaded plug will make it...

    Homebrew automation with HomeAssistant and MQTT - Pentair Maxflow VS Automation pinout

    I love this guy! I have the same Pentair equip and basically did the same project with different components. I used a 1st gen Raspberry Pi I had laying around to control a 16 channel relay board to switch the pump speeds (built my own cable too, I stumbled on the connector at surplus...
