Hi All,
I am so very, very confused due to some of the manuals provided with the Pentair Easytouch and IntelliFlo pump. Some of the information seems to contradict itself speaking about individual circuits, and despite reading most of the threads on here(yay search), I'm lost!
I will be using the:
Pentair 520593 EasyTouch 4PSC-IC40 Single Body with SCG Integration and IC40 Cell
and the Intelliflo VS Pump.
I have the pump already... deciding where to buy the Easytouch with the SCG.
Here's my confusion.
I can't, for the life of me, understand how they really want my electrical run.
I have a 30 amp 240 circuit running to the equipment from my panel, which I will be changing to GFCI for protection (and code!).
I also have 2 20 amp circuits running to the area, that I planned on using for lighting and other non pool related issues, (and thus would have GFCI receptacles on the line to protect)
Am I completely off base by thinking that I'm supposed to run the 30 amp 220 into the Easytouch first.
Then into one of the provided relays for the filter pump, to my Intelliflo VS?
And the SWG? Connects to the plug on the lower left side, right? 220 needs no rewiring from what I understand?
Then plug my Pentair Color Led Intellibrite 5g (120v) into one of the aux circuits?
From looking at max loads, I believe 30 amps would be enough. I'm not planning on adding anything to the circuit. (no more equipment, if so I'd consider running 6 gauge and going up to 50 amps)
So, in summation...
1) 30 amps need to be GFCI from the house to Easytouch, right?
2) Run the pump off the Easytouch Relay? (which is included, I believe, into the Filter Pump relay) Not directly to the pump or from another circuit (which may prove to be a challenge).
3) I have enough with 30 amps for the 4 pieces of equipment?
4) Light goes in aux, I think I've gotten that much correct, right?
Thank you for the words of wisdom!
