make sure you have a timer on the swg . do not run the swg without the pump running. i had 2 swg blow up because pool people did not install a timer. this situation could have killed. my timer turns on the swg after the pump starts !

have the pentair intellacore 40 electricion to install timer that pool builders gave me then said home builder should have installed it. how can you install timer if its not supplied by pool builder ? would never use this pool builder again. think there is plenty of blame for all involved that...

all you have said pertains to my situation. am now in the process of finding who will wire the timer. pool builders has given me the timer and said builder should have had his electritions wire it in. still can't figure how co. inspectors or anyone else with the pool build would let this...

have had many informative conversations as to how to get the swg to shut off with the pump. pool people did not supply timer when pool was built therefor the builder that had his own electricions were not aware of need to install. now i have pointing fingers as to who should wire timer - have...

have a sta rite super max v s pump, swg is pentair. checking prices find its not necessary to go to easy touch. sun touch in the low 300 range will allow me to wire the pump with the swg . will have to get it wired by knowledgeable people. still go back as to why installers of solar and or pool...

after all the facts i now understand where i am as to what i need to get the swg to shut off with the pump. i am a bit surprised as to such little attention to what is installed and what it will and will not do for swg shut down with pump shut down. changing the various choices of systems will...

have been helped by many parties as to how my swg blew apart along with fittings. one thing i was told is that the swg was not wired properly. have sun touch instaiied by pool builders. before i go back to pool people is this the answer to the fix? have vs with solar panels on the roof. at this...

need to go back a little. when asked if i had easy touch i said i did. i have what is called solar touch. is that the same as easy touch ? solar people are to fix piping on the panel, this will be a chance for me to have a good conversation about the whole system. guy coming is very...

have the easy touch with the solar. what does the solar system have to do with the swg not turning off when flow is stopped by pump shut off ? understand the need for the timer. once a system like this has been known to be able to blow you would think the problem would be addressed by...

Re: swg blow up now fixed to not happen again ? pentair re-plumbed with new vs pump and new swg. swg put in vertical piping - u shaped - looks goofy ! all is correct so swg must have failed causing the blow up. can't believe this could happen with swg having a possible faulty internal system...

pentair did say and did install swg in the vertical position. pool people never heard of any reason new or old to install vertical - - - Updated - - - have phone pic of install just don't know how to post them from phone
