    Black and a red https://www.homedepot.com/p/Klein-Tools-Voltage-Continuity-Tester-ET250/301107517 I assumed black goes to the hot and red is on the ground?

    Pentair Intelliflow VS pump not priming but display has no errors

    I guess I could just unwire it and use my meter lead to touch both wires at the same time too.

    Pentair Intelliflow VS pump not priming but display has no errors

    Sorry it doesnt prime nor run. It doesnt even sound like its trying to turn over either. No air in the filter chamber either

    Pentair Intelliflow VS pump not priming but display has no errors

    Hi all, I have a 4year old Pentair Inteliflow VS pool pump that doesnt prime run. The display is working and does not have any errors. I cleaned the basket and could spin the impeller with minimal resistance. Im thinking my next step should be to replace the 15year old breaker at the pool...

    VSP wiring to mechanical timer

    Finished wiring and install this weekend! Took your advice and wired to bypass the timer. Much better idea. Kept the SWG on the timer. Appreciate all the help!

    Little White Particles Floating in Pool

    I get small white particles as well. Tend to go away when I pour some MA in the pool. Very un-scientific I know. Better to get the kit and post results.

    VSP wiring to mechanical timer

    How did you wire the pump directly to the Line connections? As Im reading the timer controls all the terminals not just some of the terminals? I currently have my lights and waterfall wired to the timer as well but have some sort of x10 wireless controller wired in as well.

    Replacing Failed Single Speed Pump

    The manual for this pump says 3" from the back the motor to the house for ventilation. If youre not in a blazing hot part of the country it might not be an issue, but here in CA it would be pretty rough on the motor.

    VSP wiring to mechanical timer

    I am replacing my old whisperflo 1.5hp with a SuperFlo VS (342001) in the next few weeks. I recieved my pump replacement yesterday and it seems to be wired the same way the old pump was setup (line-line-ground). Can I just re-use the old wiring and remove the "On/Off" metal tags in the timer...

    Bubbles in return, pretty sure it is in discharge side

    Mine gets air in from the SWG a lot of time. I can even see a little bit of dripping on the bottom side. I purge the filter of air every couple of days. Plan on re-plumbing once the rains stop here in CA.

    Visual Flow Indicator

    Thanks Everyone. I plan on putting this in the return line from the solar to the pool. Does anyone see a problem with placing it on a vertical down pipe? The spring is fairly strong so I can imagine it wont have a problem keeping the flap shut but didnt know if anyone had any thoughts.

    Valve Automation Question

    Thats what I thought too. Figure give a 1min delay for on/off on both actuators. Figured I would go down to Home Depot and buy a irrigation panel and test it out. If it works Ill put it up here with pics, just didnt know if someone else has gone this route.

    Valve Automation Question

    Thanks gary3000. I believe I could wire it as timer 1=valve open, timer 2= valve closed. Most timers are 24VAC I believe.

    Visual Flow Indicator

    Thanks Patrick_B and JohnT. I agree it would be really nice to see GPM so I can ensure Im below the point of leaking joints but enough to heat the pool. - - - Updated - - - Ive seen in the pool places that have demonstration pumps plumbed that they have a clear piece of PVC and what looks...

    Valve Automation Question

    Im looking at automating two valves. One Jandy 3-way which diverts water to solar and the second on the return line. Ive found most pool places want to see a very expensive control panel to automate the valves actuators. I read on Amazon from a few reviews that people have simply used an...
