A couple more photos of the aftermath. Melted everything pretty good.

Not my pool, but very early this morning my neighbors UltraTemp electric pool heater burst into flames! Luckily he had his window up and the noise woke him up, and he went to investigate. Also lucky his pool isn’t anywhere near his house. His unit was probably 4-5 years old. He had a...

Prettier now.

Just tried it from powered off and that worked too. Woohoo

It ain’t pretty at the moment but it’s all working. Solar set in that booster setting and link to a digital input is working too. It’s overriding the schedule program when the solar comes on, and then goes back to normal schedule when it turns off. Still need to try if it makes it come on when...

Since I get the $300 rebate I went all out and got the IO board and the touchscreen. What else could I potentially use the IO board for? Only features I have is colored lights, booster pump for the Polaris, and the IC40. Can I use the IO with any of those things?

So I guess now it really comes down to me deciding to drop the money for both a new pump and inteliicenter, and then finding a good price.

nah is a SuperFlo High Peformance 2HP motor. So the stick says :) That breaker box supplies the power to the lights. The junction point to where those power lines hit the lights is about 20ft or so away, but for the most part it’s a conduit that is a straight shot for the existing power wire. I...
