Hey Folks,

I'm back again after a somewhat successful first season of pool ownership! I say somewhat successful because I managed to spike CYA up so high that some algae had time to setup shop in the pool but that was taken care of following SLAM. I am now thinking through how I can avoid this in the future with easier maintenance and thought of going the SWG route. I put in an IntelliFlo3 VSF Pool Pump last year and noticed there is an addon I/O board that claims it can power a SWG: Pentair Sta-Rite 356365Z | IntelliFlo3 VSF Speed Pump I/O IO Relay Control Board. My question is, is wiring something like a CircuPool RJ-60 (I have no automations/controller) as simple as plugging in the I/O board and subsequently the SWG to said I/O Board? My pump runs 24/7 at low GPM so I don't think I'd need to worry about when the SWG turns on as there will always be flowing water.

Thanks in advance!
 
O,

If you run your pump 24/7, then you can rely on your flow switch as the only safety device.. But, things change, so having the ability to control the SWCG using the I/O card for the IntelliFlo3, makes the most sense to me.

Thanks,

Jim R.

Thanks Jim. So to be clear, the electricity required for the SWG connects into the I/O board and does not require any other connection to power/run the SWG?

O,

Just to be clear back.. :mrgreen:

The pump itself would be wired to constant 240 volt AC power.

You would also run 120 or 240 VAC to the relay input pins on the I/O card. Then you would wire your cell to the output pins of the same relay. Unless the relay was on, the cell would get no AC power. The relay can be manually tuned on and off via the app for the pump, or the relay can be programmed so that it comes on when the pump gets to some preset speed..

Thanks,

Jim R.

If you are powering the RJ60 from the same CB as the IntelliFlo you need to jumper from Pump L1 to Supply L1 and Pump L2 to Supply L2.

Connect the RJ60 to Device L1 & L2 on the IO Board.

You also need to configure the relay in the Pentair Home app.
