For a new system I would go with either a Pentair IntelliCenter or Hayward OmniPL as they are comparable systems for your needs. In a previous posting you mentioned you have Heliocol solar? You should Create Your Signature so we have a full picture of your system.

I've used a basic Orbit Mechanical Timer which worked for me, but I also set an alarm. If you're filling that frequently you might want to look into an AutoFill. https://www.troublefreepool.com/wiki/index.php?title=AutoFill

You've done well by joining this site as there are a lot of knowledgeable people here to bounce ideas off. Regarding equipment your PB will likely stick with a single brand as it's likely they get discounts from the manufacturer they work with. Not necessarily a bad thing but something to be...

You can run a Hayward TriStar or MaxFlo with your Aqualogic. @mas985 might know if there are other models that will work. With regards to the cartridge filter compatibility I don't know. But you would get a new set when you purchase the filter anyway.

You need to check if your Aqualogic board is version 2.65 or higher to support a VS pump. For the cartridge filter you could also look at Waterway. https://www.polytecpools.com/Waterway-Crystal-Water-525-Sq-Ft-Cartridge-Filter_p_7570.html

Would second replacing with a VS pump unless you plan on moving soon. There is a bigger upfront cost, but the energy savings are worth it in the longer term. We can offer suggestions if you give us a ballpark budget for a replacement pump...

The other aspect is how often and how long do you run your heater?

It's fine to leave the heater on 24/7, are you running the heater on a schedule or just manually. Another pump you could look at is the Waterway Power Defender 270 which is a little cheaper. It does also have an AUX relay built in but it will only activate if pump is running over 2100 RPM.

You can also look at the Nidec Neptune, they have a 2.25thp model. vSQ5lkaeNSU

Depending on the condition of the pump body you can get a replacement motor. Take a look at the Nidec Neptune or VGreen Evo variable speed motors. OF62tF8lq0c

I would also look at the IntelliFlo3 VSF from Pentair.

Can you share how you got it working manually? Others reading this in the future with the same problem might need help. Are you able to connect to the power supply using Bluetooth? I wonder if either it or your router had a software update recently. You could also try using a smartphone to...

Do you have a Superflo or Intelliflo pump? What automation system do you use, is it EasyTouch? If so, do you have ScreenLogic? Would recommend that you Create Your Signature with your equipment so that you will get better help with your questions.

I assume most people would prefer using their smartphones, but if anyone has a need for a wireless remote that you can use with njsPC take a look at the thread below. It uses a cheap 433Mhz remote control paired to a RPI Pico with some additional components...

Since the file is named main.py that means that this code will automatically run after boot.py has completed. So by restarting the device using "Stop/Restart backend" in Thonny or by simply plugging the USB connector into a power supply the program will run and listen for button presses from...

The following software code will listen to signals from the 433Mhz remote and if a button is pressed on the remote it can send a HTTP request to njsPC and take the appropriate action on the automation system. Below are Python files that will need to be saved onto the Raspberry Pi Pico using...

If you're using njsPC to monitor and control your Pentair EasyTouch, IntelliTouch or IntelliCenter and wanted a wireless remote like the QuickTouch II for under $50 then look no further. There are several generic RF outlets and switches that use the 433MHz frequency for remote control and are...

I would recommend buying the Intelliflo3 w/ the I/O board (P/N 011076), but you can add it later with the part you listed. A lot of people here buy from Polytec Pools as they're competitively priced and normally have items in stock...

The beauty of VS pumps is that you can adjust the speed or flow to suit your pool. Also running the pump at lower speeds results in the greatest energy savings and least noise. One benefit of the Intelliflo3 w/ I/O board is that you can control both the pump and two additional devices (via...

Also see discussion in thread below regarding valve cycling. https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/jandy-freeze-protect-cycle-spa-pool.223929/

Do you have any automation like Aqualink? If so, is freeze protection on?

The CircuPool SmartFlo manual has the following description. The B+D manual has instructions for changing freeze settings. https://www.troublefreepool.com/wiki/index.php?title=Calimar/Circupool/BD/Blue_Torrent_Pump

Can you update your signature? I think you have the EasyTouch not the IntelliTouch based on your previous post? Is the switch a toggle switch or a momentary press button? I assume it has a two wire cable? There is an option for a four button spa side remote with the ET, see post below for a...

Yes I doubt that would hold, if you have a VS pump you could try a low speed. If there are no pool stores nearby, you can get a replacement Air Gauge Release Valve online for next week.

Are the J-box and WiFi connected to the same terminal block or separate like below?

Have you seen the wiki for Jandy Aqualink? Are there any lights on the J-box transceiver? https://www.troublefreepool.com/wiki/index.php?title=Jandy_Aqualink_RS#Jandy_AquaPalm_Pro_Series_Wireless_Handheld_Remote

I don't think OP has an IntelliChlor, so it would help if they Create Your Signature to give us their equipment details.

Also might be worth checking the cooling fan at the back of the motor. https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/pump-squeals-when-starting-and-stopping.249590/
