    Wiring new pump and SWG

    Yeah, looking around online it says if it's software version 1.5 or newer, it supports all cells, but only way i know how to check the software version is to have it powered on (and in use). Other threads on the forum ask the same question regarding upgrading software or whether you can swap...

    Wiring new pump and SWG

    Yeah, neither my pool nor his has a breaker panel at the pool pad, only power lines that come out of the ground and into a junction box that then splits to the GFCI outlet/power switch for pool equipment and the light switch for the pool lights. I appreciate you sharing your breaker box there...

    Wiring new pump and SWG

    The pump is the Pentair 3hp Intelliflo (EC-011028). The SWG he got is the Hayward aqr9 (for 25K gallons). His pool is ~19K gallons. The surge protector you linked is something that would be installed at the circuit breaker inside the house? I'm not sure I follow what you mean by "This will go...

    Wiring new pump and SWG

    My brother bought a new home last year that has a pool and he's replacing his pool pump and installing a SWG this year with my help. He purchased the Intelliflo VS pump and the Hayward Aquarite SWG. He doesn't have a pool heater or anything else special, and he has a simple Intermatic T10X (not...

    New Equipment installation questions

    Thanks for that info. I did not update the SWG to pentair, so it will (hopefully) be the only manual thing I have to control. But the Aquarite I have has the same flow sensors and will say if it has no flow. My old Jandy heater also had a flow sensor, so if the MasterTemp does as well, then I...

    New Equipment installation questions

    The booster pump is to support the polaris vacuum we have. I wasn't aware those settings for the circuit would do anything, I just thought it was a label and set it as a cleaner. I've changed it back to "generic" to see if it continues to randomly come on. I've already begun asking about...

    New Equipment installation questions

    I was taking pictures of the wiring and while i was there inspecting them, the booster pump kicked on again for no reason. Because the wiring is a bit messy, i'm going to lay it out in writing too so you can follow the picture. the top section behind the buttons was also a little messy and hard...

    New Equipment installation questions

    So I went to the gym this morning from 8am to 10am. When I got home, I just checked the app to make sure the booster pump hadn't started up again. Somehow the booster pump was on but the pool pump was off. I checked the 'history' section which showed that the pump shut off at ~8:25 this morning...

    New Equipment installation questions

    Thanks, I played around with things some more to test out settings. I will install ScreenLogic on my computer so I can show you those pages you want. but that will probably be tomorrow. I also sent my pool guy an email asking about switching to the Intelliflo pump instead...we'll see what he...

    New Equipment installation questions

    Yeah, it's partially my fault that the automated system isn't automated. We planned on just a few things and then he made some suggestions that sounded nice so we said yes, and I just assumed they'd work together since they're all Pentair. I just didn't do my research ahead of time and it is way...

    New Equipment installation questions

    You can ignore #5. I went through the boxes of 'garbage' and found the instruction manual for the pump, so I see I can schedule each button and times for it to run to make my schedule. Presumably I can time this with my booster pump, just not sure if I can do anything with it through the App yet.

    New Equipment installation questions

    I just updated my pool hardware and plumbing this week and I have some questions that hopefully someone can answer. The pool company that replaced the stuff had a few suggestions but I figured I'd get the opinions here to make sure they pan out with what he said (or not). 1. I got a Pentair...

    Best way to clean cartridge filters?

    Yeah it's worked well, though mine were so bad (and large) I soaked them once, then flipped them over in new water/soap/bleach and soaked again. I sprayed them off really well in between soakings and now I'm doing them a third time in just water/bleach. Hopefully tomorrow the water will run...

    Best way to clean cartridge filters?

    That's what I read on another forum, I just wanted to get a second opinion to make sure that the dishwashing detergent would work the same. Thanks!

    Best way to clean cartridge filters?

    I saw stickies for DE filters and sand filters, but not cartridge filters. So I've just recently purchased my house, and the cartridges for my filter (it's a large filter, so I have 1 very large cartridge, then one skinnier taller one that goes inside that one, model is in my signature) were...
