    IntelliConnect review/warnings - Seeking an alternative

    @J-Ho I can confirm that the IntelliConnect using Pentair Home does allow you to set a pump override speed for each flow dependent device. I have a Hayward SWG, and I can set the override speed to whatever I want. Different speeds can be set for different flow-dependent devices (like your...

    First, a quick word of thanks to all who participate here. I've learned a great deal over the years about chemistry, troubleshooting and equipment selection. == IntelliConnect Mini-Review I recently overhauled my outdoor pool and selected the IntelliConnect to control my new Pentair...
