    Intellichem flow sensor issue when a valve is turned 1 way but not the other

    the output, or exit, you can see on the second photo all the way on the bottom of the photo.Follow the exit of the UV all the way down to the bottom of the photo and you will see the black tubing going in. they may be no pressure differential because I'm bypassing the heater and the UV.

    Intellichem flow sensor issue when a valve is turned 1 way but not the other

    this is from the manual : Flow Cell Inlet and Exit Lines It is essential that the supply line be at a higher pressure than the discharge line so the water will flow through the cell at a steady rate in the right direction. Inlet should be installed after filter and before heater. Note: Plumb...

    Intellichem flow sensor issue when a valve is turned 1 way but not the other

    I like having the UV with the assumption I can maintain a relatively lower level of FC. The UV "came with the pool" before I knew anything about pools. I don't mind having it. It turns on with the main pump and I run the pump slowly at night to water is going through the UV all day/night. I get...

    Screenlogic issue with Google mesh network

    Did you try reseting the protocol adaptor? there's a small reset button the side (opposite the lights). if you put in a pin and hold it, it will reset the adaptor and you should be good to go.

    Intellichem flow sensor issue when a valve is turned 1 way but not the other

    I have an issue - and a question. Right after my multiport filter value there is about 12 inches of straight pipe and then a 3-way value that bypasses the heater. Now .... i notice that when i bypass my heater, my GPM on my VSF pump increases. This makes sense as I’m skipping the heater, and...

    How to create multiple pool filter schedules with different pump speeds

    I noticed you have a setting for "either heater" is there a way to make sure the pump speed stays on a certain level when the heater is on? i am trying to make a schedule for the pump to change speeds throughout the day, similar to what you have done. Would love to chat in more detail if you...

    Low Flow when water flows through heater and UV lamp

    When I set my pump for 40 GPM and bypass the heater and UV bioshield system the pump runs at about 1600 RPM. When I open the value to let water into the heater and UV the RPM jumps to 2400 RPM to maintain the same 40 GPM. Is that drop off in flow normal? I have a pentair VS pump. 3HP with a 400k...

    Communication Wiring SWG

    I have a valve on my main drain as well as the 2 skimmers in my pool that go into the same pumps. How should I balance the skimmers vs the main drain? I noticed that the heater isn’t heat the deeper end as well.
