The Pool Pilot Digital Nano arrived Friday and I installed it yesterday. Up and running today with bubbles in the returns!
The install was pretty straight forward. If you are going to attempt this yourself, make sure you are comfortable doing both plumbing and electrical work yourself (obviously).
My one issue, and this is a minor one, would also apply to any of the Autopilot SWCGs (and probably any other brand too). Getting the unions (of which there are three) on the cell tight enough to not leak is difficult. Especially since the cell assembly is kinda hanging out there attached only by PVC joints. I feel like in order to rough house the fittings tight enough I am stressing all the pipe joints. I took everything apart and lubed the threads with pool lube, which helped, but not much. Is there some tool I should be using?
I still haven't tuned run times and SWCG % (I am at 10 hours and 30% to start).
