Time to step away from the gym wall and onto the dance floor with my first post.
Our pool has been up and running for a couple of months now. Punch list items (most minor a couple major) are fixed, water is balanced (thanks to the advice of the great folks on this forum not my PB), and it's time to take full control of what we have. Until a couple of weeks ago my Pentair VS motor has been pretty much run at one speed; high and costly due to the in-floor cleaning system. Several attempts to change the programming and run times/speeds have resulted in frustration and surrender. My goal is to run the pump at the required speed/time for cleaning and then be able to reduce for chlorine generation, skimming and water turn over. My question is not about hours but about how to program the Intelli Touch to do this. I have been able to program to reduce pump speeds and control start/stop properly BUT when the pump goes to the lower speed the SWG seems to turn off. That is the lights on the SWG go out. So apparently I am not using the right 'function' or 'circuit' when programming and removing power from the SWG. Currently I have programmed the second/slow run phase as a 'FEATURE' using one of the provided circuit names: POOL LOW. Circuit function is set for: GENERIC. I have also tried other combinations without result.
TIA
