    Pentair Warrior SE - length of power cord and Aux power control

    There will be no official documentation on it as Im sure Polaris wants you to buy more expensive units. Trust me it works. I wired mine to my AquaLink RS control panel and turn it on and off using timed programs for the Aqualink. Once you get in in Automation Mode it will stay in that mode...

    Pentair Warrior SE - length of power cord and Aux power control

    I eventually got it working after fiddling with it. I think I just accidentally followed your procedure! Just curious If my plan is to set up with Jandy Aqualink would you just schedule an “on” for slightly longer than the cycle time for the warrior se?

    Pentair Warrior SE - length of power cord and Aux power control

    We When mine is off I press the timer button and after 10 seconds the 3 green leds flash about 6 or so times and the power button dimly flashes but this may just be residual light from the three green ones. After flashing they cutoff and don’t stay on. When I unplug and plug back in nothing...

    Pentair Warrior SE - length of power cord and Aux power control

    So I too have a Warrior SE and would love to figure out if this on/off automation works. Ive tried pushing the schedule button from "off" for 10 seconds and I do get the three green flashing LEDs. Should I not be able to unplug and replug it in and it just start up from there? I want to test...

    Source for buying Calcium Chloride

    Source for buying Calcium Chloride. Usually get this from my local concrete plant but they are not allowing retail customers at plant due to Covid-19. I’m in Atlanta so not many local sources for ice melt. Any ideas or online bulk sources?

    Plug wall outlet for Polaris after going robotic?

    Should I plug the wall outlet that attaches to my booster pump since I will no longer be using. I replaced Polaris 280 with a Warrior SE. I do have a floor system and may get slightly better pop up pressure. Not that I really need to as the new cleaner is awesome! Should I also remove the...

    Heater Reccomendation

    The model is a Pentair MiniMax 400 DV so I am assuming it is 400BTU. I have never heated my whole pool nor will I ever. I just use it for the Spa. I value being able to heat the spa quickly and when working use it possibly a dozen times year. I have a JXI 400 NG quoted for $3,850. Looking...

    Heater Reccomendation

    I currently have an older gas Pentair MiniMax Heater. Its not firing up and thinking of just going a full replacement instead of continuing to chase it with repairs. Have a 30k gal SWG pool in Atlanta, GA and will only use it to heat spa not pool. What gas heaters does the TFP brain trust...

    Failing Air Blower Back Flow Valve

    Was not tripping the breaker. Motor would just stop and then if you cut off power would start back up then stop again. I opened it up and the motor has rusted probably from the salt water I got on it. Ordered a new one. This time going with a Silencer motor.
