Hello I have an intellicenter controlling a dedicated intelliflo pump for my laminars and bubblers. I have Valve A turning on and off flow to bubblers and Valve B Tuning on and off flow to laminars. I have having trouble programming this is the intellicenter Circuit Groups.

I tried creating 3 groups
1) Laminar Only
2) Bubbler Only
3) Laminar and Bubbler

But which ever function I hit last obviously overrides the valves setting. Sorry for the long winded message but follow me here. If I press the laminar and bubbler feature it comes on and works great. Then I press the Bubbler only and it switches to just bubblers but the laminar and bubbler feature stays turned on on the screen so now if i turn that off and leave on bubbler only it shuts both valves because laminar and bubbler is going to open both valves when turned on (and closes when turned off).

What am I missing, I have to be overthinking this
 
You are assuming that the IntelliCenter is more intelli than it is.

When you press Bubbler only the system does not know you want it to automatically turn OFF Laminar and Bubbler if it is on.

Just turn off Laminar and Bubbler if it is On before you turn on Laminar only or Bubbler only.
 
I have the same setup, with 4 Laminars and 2 Bubblers, with 1 valve for the laminars, another for the bubblers and on a dedicated feature pump. These are the settings I use for the Valves, Feature Circuits, Circuit groups and Feature Pump. Hope this helps. 2023-01-08_20-04-35.png 1673226732374.png

Yes I was hoping it was smarter or at least let me add the option in the feature circuit to shut one off when the other is selected.

Thank you very much. So if you are on deck jet and bubbler and go back to deckjet only do you just turn off the combo button before you switch over? So I guess is what I am getting at is do you just make sure you shut off what you were previously using before going to the next? Also do you always use the deckjets and bubblers on the same settings? I was thinking of something like this but still a work in progress see pic
