    How to setup a Pentair Valve Actuator?

    Craig, You are correct that Intelliflo will always run the program that is at the highest speed. What I did was to set my filter time, which runs the slowest, for the full time and then overlayed the hours that the pool sweep over the top of those hours. Also I set up my waterfall to run at a...

    How to setup a Pentair Valve Actuator?

    Craig; I got all messed up when I tried programming the ET8 Feature Buttons instead of the Aux buttons. As I read it, that is how you were suppose to do it, but I could never get it to work correctly. Now, I am not feature rich and you don't have to use relay to use an Aux button, so after...

    Installing EasyTouch w/IC60. Any issues to consider?

    Craig, I do not have a spa and do not use the drain/fill feature. Hopefully someone else can help answer that question for you. I have never had a problem with the pool being too hot either, unless I leave the solar cover on during our 100+ days. Typically when it gets that warm, I just...

    Installing EasyTouch w/IC60. Any issues to consider?

    Craig, first I want to make sure I was clear and that you do not need to use a relay to use an Aux circuit, but I do not believe you can use a Feature if it does require a relay, so that might be your point. I just liked having the ability to control everything from my remote control with the...

    How to setup a Pentair Valve Actuator?

    I found out that if you open the Actuator you can set the stop to where ever you like by loosing up the nut on the lever shaft and rotating the cam back. Since I did not want my actuator to open a 100% when it is in the cleaner mode, I could set it up this way and then when it hits the spot I...

    Installing EasyTouch w/IC60. Any issues to consider?

    I fought setup for quite awhile, then reset everything and started over. After doing so, I left Pool=Pool (this is the lower speed when I want it to circulate through the filter and return to the pool through the jets, not my Polaris 360, which uses the same pump). I set up Aux 1 to be Cleaner...

    IC60 reading high salt

    The IC 60 will still operate above 4500 ppm, it was just give you a warning on the IC60 that you are high (it's in the manual). I know because I am having the same problem, my IC 60 was reading 4600 and my test were coming in around 3500 ppm. I did take mine to three different pool supply...

    How to setup a Pentair Valve Actuator?

    Thanks for all the feedback and I now understand that you cannot systematically control the how far the valve opens or closes, but you can with the cams or stops supplies with the valve. What I don't understand is how to set up the valve. In Luna description above, if I set Aux 4 to Valve A...

    How to setup a Pentair Valve Actuator?

    Blake, I know where the switch is on the actuator to manually open or close a valve, but I cannot figure out how to program the Easytouch so I can do it with a button. I have read the Easytouch manual and the Control System manuals and cannot figure it out systematically. Can you help with...

    How to setup a Pentair Valve Actuator?

    Blake, First, thanks for your help. I have one valve that when fully closed directs water to the pool and when fully opened it directs the water to the waterfall. The second valve is used when the return is directed to the pool and I want to either direct it to the pool return (no pool...

    How to setup a Pentair Valve Actuator?

    With help from PoolSupplyWorld, I now have a new Pentair VS pump, Easytouch 8 controller with IC60 chlorinator and Clean and Clear Plus filter. Most to the installation went fairly smoothly taking me about two days to complete, from disassembly to starting up the pump. Now that I have the pump...

    Installing EasyTouch w/IC60. Any issues to consider?

    I just completed my installation of the Easytouch 8 w/IC 60 and VS Pentair pump and Clean and Clear plus filter. I also have a waterfall and decided that I want to to eliminate one of the two pumps and just use the VS pump. Since one pump was used only for our waterfall, I came up with a plan...

    variable or 2-speed

    So does my list of parts look correct or do I have duplicate controllers on the list? Also, if I wanted to switch the waterfall over to VS pump, all I would need to do is put in the actuator, correct. Hadn't thought of that and it would save a little money by not running the single speed pump...

    I don't mind going with the Intellitouch controller, but I would like to have a control panel inside our house as we do today. Can I do that with the Intellitouch? Is Mark correct with the warranty and that I can have my sta-rite and pentair both and get the extended warranty? Can you explain...

    variable or 2-speed

    Blake, No plans on adding any other features to the pool, so we have the pool pump, water fall pump, lights and now chlorinator. Is there a big difference in cost and functionality between the easytouch and intellitouch? Thanks, Bill

    variable or 2-speed

    Hi Dave, Ok, getting ready to order everything and I am starting to get confused as to what exactly I will need to ensure that I have a working system when I am done. Again, I have a 33k gallon pool, plaster siding and I am replacing a Max-E pro pump (1 hp) and sta-rite DE 60 filter along...

    Thanks Dave for the information. Yes, it is PVC piping and I am very familiar working with it. Is the electrical pretty straight forward and what about hooking up the controller? Thanks, Bill

    Hi, new member here and appreciate all the knowledge that has been shared. I have a 20 year old pool, 33k gals, inground, plaster siding with a max-e pro pump (1hp) and a sta-rite DE 60 filter. I want to upgrade the whole system and was thinking of installing the Intelliflo 11018 pump...
