    Communication lost on VS pump and Intelichlor... Daily

    I was in the process of writing a response, took photos, even made a diagram since it's hard to follow the wires in the pictures, and as I was writing my comment, I realized I forgot about one very important change I made last year towards the end of the season: I tried using feature circuits to...

    Communication lost on VS pump and Intelichlor... Daily

    Well the pump is operating perfectly now with the IC in control. Thank you! SWCG isn't getting power at all now though, so need to trace wires and see what's going on. I was about to open the panel to look and it started to pour so I guess I'll be leaving a chlorine float in for now.

    Communication lost on VS pump and Intelichlor... Daily

    Resurrecting this thread, Jim and Herman, thank you again for all of the help in the past, hope you see this. I swapped the wires before opening my pool yesterday, pump has power, no power to SWCG, as expected. When I took it out of service mode, the pump didn't seem to be connecting, but I was...

    Hi Jim, just following up to say thank you. Haven't had a chance to fix the wiring inside yet, but I understand the detail you shared and appreciate it! Going to try to fix this next weekend.

    Thank you, I greatly appreciate the help. My only additional question is related to the feature circuits for pump speed. I only discovered the way to set this up last week, but it doesn't seem to actually work. The pump will not turn on if I schedule a pump speed feature circuit. I'm wondering...

    I appreciate the clarification, and the assistance here, truly. Here are the answers to the questions, I just typed this out while testing. SWG stayed on throughout all of this as expected. (Q1) In service mode, without turning on any circuits. Pump is completely off. (Other Q) In service...

    While I appreciate the help, it's not necessary to talk at me like I'm a child. I understood what you were asking. I was providing additional information, until tomorrow, since additional information often can shed more light when diagnosing issues in technical systems, something I do for a...

    Communication lost on VS pump and Intelichlor... Daily

    I'm going to record a video tomorrow of exactly what happens to see if that helps make sense of it. Maybe I'm not explaining it properly. When the pump is running on schedule, it says display not active on the pump. That I'm 100% certain. When the pump isn't running, the Intellichlor is...

    Communication lost on VS pump and Intelichlor... Daily

    When I put it onto service mode, I'm able to control the pump from the pump itself, which came in very handy before figuring out how to use feature circuits to have different pump speeds on schedule. No idea what the electrician actually did, it was the summer of 2020, and I was already...

    Communication lost on VS pump and Intelichlor... Daily

    Have had my pool for three years now. We had an Intellicenter installed with it. When they first wired it up, there was some issue with it where the pump would turn on for a few minutes and then turn off. Electrician "switched the relay" but I am not sure what exactly they meant by that. Every...

    Pentair wifi kit

    I saw the PW one when I searched, but the website doesn't seem to actually let me add it to the cart, so not sure what the deal is there. The PSW link I didn't see, but it doesn't say anything about their stock status, and I don't want to wait weeks to get it if there are better options. Thank...

    Pentair wifi kit

    My Pentair system and pool were installed a few years ago with a buried ethernet cable that worked great but got damaged from the elements during this past winter and now my system won't connect. I've tested the cable with an ethernet tester and it's definitely busted. Instead of digging up the...

    Put in a pool last year, new to a lot of this

    Thanks for the response. Very few if any air bubbles when it starts. They definitely did a good job with sealing things. I checked the manual and a few other posts I found last summer about prime speed and it seems to be set properly. I think I'm just used to the Intex one which made barely any...

    Should I run the robot before the pool company opens the pool?

    NY region. Wanted to open it sooner but I wanted to have someone open it up for me the first time and they got booked out a lot sooner than I expected. Definitely planning to do this myself next year. The pool builder didn't provide anyone to explain the equipment fully, which is my only...

    Put in a pool last year, new to a lot of this

    Hi everyone! I just put a pool in last year (Thursday Pools Aspen 16x40) and had about a month of use before having to close it up. Had an above ground pool growing up, DE filter. Had an 18' Intex pool before getting the Aspen, had the cartridge filter, but upgraded to sand. Not completely new...

    Should I run the robot before the pool company opens the pool?

    Put in a pool last year, so far so good. Had a company close the pool for me and they are coming back in about 10 days to open the pool. I just opened a corner of the cover to drain about an inch of water since we've had some heavy rain and the level is almost overflowing the skimmer. The pool...
