I'll.... do some digging. I have cat6 from control panel to my network closet inside, so wireless isn't really a big deal to me.

Oh, well yeah I guess I muddied the waters there. I installed the link. Don't recall the cable I used. I believe it uses rs485 for the communication protocol but may just be two wires connected.

I wonder if there are settings on the pool/spa dual body ET4 that aren't available to me on my single body pool only ET4?

Well that's definitely an interesting approach I hadn't thought of. By low voltage, you mean one of the rs485 communication wires? And by extra relay, you mean in the easytouch? I need to take a close look at my ET4 again. I have pool lights, hardscape lights, and a valve that turns spills on...

Well, maybe there just isn't a way to do this then in the way I'd like. I had thought from Jimrahbe's response to this question a year ago that perhaps screenlogic exposed some additional flexibility. He posted this pic, and suggested different set point temps could be set for different times of...

Thanks, two good suggestions there to consider and play with. I knew I could shut the pump off, didn't think about turning flow rate down low enough. I can play with pump settings and see just how low that needs to be. Guessing too low to keep spills going, which we like to do into the evening...

Hey guys, taking another shot at this issue this spring. I'd like to program my system so that the heat pump only runs during the day, for increased efficiency. Pentair ultratemp, and easytouch 4. I do not have screenlogic. I'd rather not purchase it just for this purpose unless that's the...

m replacing the motor assembly in my prowler 920 after posting here and trouble shooting without luck. In researching I found threads asking about the difference between 920 and 930, non Bluetooth and Bluetooth enabled model. The motor assembly for 920 and 930 are the same. The control units...

I've thought about suction side cleaner but the way our pool is plumbed and setup that isn't ideal. We have an infinity edge and smaller catch pool. The skimmers on upper pool don't really do anything since the flow is all away from them and over the infinity edge. There is a single skimmer on...

Hmm... well I see the 9995388-EX assembly says it's for the prowler 920. They both look the same visually but this one is just $450. Being half the price of replacing the whole thing (and since the control box is already brand new) I guess that makes more sense.

Yeah, and I'm not seeing a replacement motor assembly (part 360365 for this model I think) for under $600. I hate that but spare parts looks like where this one is headed.

Well, big bummer. Replaced the impellar motor brushes, pretty easy job. But no dice. Behavior both on back and in water is identical as before. To eliminate any other variable I removed extension cord I was using and plugged directly to outlet. Same. The one thing I'm seeing that seems...

Oh, awesome, I'll give that a shot. Cheap so no harm done if it doesn't help. I guess I thought since the current brushes have to spring back a couple of mm for the motor to fit between they were still good. Here's hoping for a cheap win.

So... drive motor still most likely? Brushes don't look bad to me. Anyone think it's worth replacing them anyway, or have any other idea short of the whole $450 assembly?

Yeah that's what I was referring to by control board. I did not see any evidence of component failure but didn't look with a magnifying glass either. I was wondering if that is a known failure mode or not. I've read a lot about motor failures.

OK guys, I opened up motor box, pump and drive motors. No water intrusion. Everything surprisingly clean. Took the back plate off drive motors, brushes are not completely warn down. Look pretty decent to my eye. Some carbon dust present, which I cleaned out well with compressed air and vacuum...

Awesome, thanks. I'll disassemble everything and see what I've got.

Been searching internet and TFP. 2.5 years on robot, it spends most life underwater. Impellar seems to spin free and it churns water above on startup so I think that's good. The robot will move a foot or two, stop for ~10 seconds, move another foot or two, stop. After a few cycles of that it...

Still stumped. In the manual I find some info on setting the heater to run on a schedule by setting the pump to come on at those times, which enables heater to run to set temp. But we are using a VS pump that currently runs continuously, varying speed depending on whether infinity spill and/or...

I do not have screenlogic and that's probably a large part of my difficulty. Navigating the control center menus and translating the manual into actionable steps has made me question my intelligence. I probably just need a dose of patience... this is going to be a learning curve I guess. But...

OK, I have the RS485 cable connected I believe properly, and a 10k resistor across the solar temp terminals (ordered an actual thermistor in case it proves to be useful). Now, just need to sort out programming. Been reading relevant manual sections and browsing through ET4 menu sections, back...

Thanks for that nugget, I had definitely missed that in my here and there reading various sections of the manual.

We have the pentair Ultratemp heat pump and Easytouch 4 for controller. I had been using the simple thermostat based control in the heater, but would like to limit the heater to run only during the day. As the PB didn't connect via rs485 during construction I'll do that. However, reading through...

Thought I'd post an update, it's been 10 days. I've added 7 gallons of MA in that span and TA has crept down to 160. Have some work left to do. When it gets in the recommended range then I will have a little better idea how fast my pH will really rise and can consider adding borates at that...

Ha! In my family, labels and flow directions wouldn't actually help the family understand anything, other than as a landmark... "You see the pipe marked catch pool, main drains? Find the valve just to the right and turn it opposite of whatever it currently is..." But they will definitely help me...

I do not have that yet but will add that to the list of things I ask the PB for. It would definitely help for many reasons, not the least of which is I keep forgetting which pipe is what! Guess I should go put some permanent labels on there. PB crew marked them during construction but that has...

Thanks for the extra info.
