Having solar installed today. Current setup is a Pentair VS pump, the solar touch controller, and polaris 280 with pressure side pump. According to the installer the booster pump will no longer be controlled by the rotary timer, and the pump will no longer be controlled by the onboard programming (prgm 1-8).
I'm curious how this will all work, how I can control my regular filtering and cleaning schedules. I like to tweak them a bit to fit in with time of day power usage rates, when we swim, and to save money. I've looked on youtube for videos but don't see much with regard to the scheduling, what controls what. Sounds almost like when the solar is in heat demand mode it goes back to the timer on the pump, but that doesn't explain the booster pump. Anybody have links I can get educated or insight (i don't fully trust the installers will tell me everything I need to know, kinda why were all here doing things ourselves)
TIA
