Hi all,
My pool was built a year and a half ago now and my heater was linked to my pool pump which runs on timer. I soon ran into a couple of issues:
1. The the pool filter (on timer) had to be running for the heater to be working;
2. As I have an electric heater it takes time to heat the pool, so if I need to heat for an extended period the water would be over chlorinated by the SWG.
Recently the pool guys installed a ZZB1635 Waterco Heater Controller which to be honest was supposed to resolve the issue. It didn't as I had the same functionality of the top out temp and operation without it.
Recently they said they would install a second pump so the heater could run independently of the filter. My pool configuration is a centred skimmer with 2 pool returns.
I am currently waiting for this to be done. I just wanted to make sure what they are saying is actually possible with the current pipework. There will be times that the filters pump and the heater pump will be running simultaneously so the skimmer and returns will be shared...Is this possible?
How else can I get my heater to come on without filter operation when required without manually setting it on the filter? I use the pool during the colder months too.
Thanks for any help.
