Hi Jim, Main panel cover removed. Did you mean the upper panel (with the low voltage CB's?) The four "relay" buttons top right (4,5,6,7) do not seem to connect to relays, at least I don't hear anything click when I press them.

Hi Jim, Yes, definitely Superflo VS. It is only connected to the ET panel for power. There are instructions for using low-voltage signaling to control the pump. It's under Connecting to External Controls and requires a wiring kit (353129Z). This looks a lot like the cable used for the SWCG. I...

That's an excellent point. The SWCG is connected to the Easytouch control panel via a separate 4-pin connector. Looking at the menu tree it seems I can tell it output (%), and there's also "Run Hours" but I think that's for superchlorination. With the old pump - when the timer was "off" there...

Thanks very much! As a followup, the new pump has its own controller (obviously), but the old pump ran off the wall-mounted control panel. I presume I should change the wall panel pump timing to 24hours so the new pump will have power available all the time?

Thanks. I updated my profile with the info I had. We originally had the IC20 but it just didn't really put out enough chlorine and it didn't last long. Nor did it's replacement, so we went with the IC40. Pool is 12 years old (as is the pump we just removed). We have a waterfall, too, if that...

Hi folks, I live in Arizona, and the local pool shop guy said for the salt chlorinater to have a hope of working I should be running my pump 10-11 hours a day. That was expensive with the old Whisperflo single speed. So, I bought a Pentair VS and installed it just yesterday. Today it's running...

Thanks! Yup, I'm a newbie here but am very glad I found the forum. I have been going to the local Leslie's for about 10 years, and yes I bought the PhosFree + on their recommendation, but they've actually been pretty tame in terms of trying to sell me stuff which is why I don't mind...

The supposed reason our SWG struggles is because of the extreme heat in the summer. I have not run an OCLT. I take my water once a week to Leslie's to have it tested and then follow their recommendations. Seems to keep the pool looking good, but more often than not the chlorine is low. They...

That spreadsheet is exactly what I've been looking for - thank you! Do you know if the SP2303VSP would be different enough to matter? It's said to use a different impeller and is less efficient compared to the 2300. My pool company recommends we run our current pump for 10+ hours a day...

Waterfall is probably about 4' high at most. I do not know what specific flow rate it requires - it's being supplied by a 1HP single-speed Pentair Whisperflo pump currently. My thought was that if and when I wanted to run the waterfall with a VS pump, I'd turn the valve and crank the VS up...

Hi Mark and thank you! Our pool has a waterfall/grotto. It's not very big but it sounds like the Hayward would not be the best choice for that? Or am I misunderstanding? I found these two graphs: Unfortunately, they do not show same rpm, but are they helpful in anyway?

Hi folks, I just joined earlier today. Obviously being in Mesa we have a lot of heat in the summer, so the pool is essential. Ours is about 12000 gallons with a waterfall/grotto and salt chlorinator, but it's ten years old now and, well, I'm interested in bringing it up to par so to speak, and...

Hi, I currently have a 10-year old single speed 1HP Pentair pump and am looking to replace it with a variable speed. The two main choices I'm looking at are Hayward SP2303VSP and the Pentair Superflo VS. Both of these are comparably priced, both are pretty similar, and both are Energy Star...
