Anybody know what approach to take with an easy touch system to control a bypass valve ?
The problem is that I need this valve closed when the pump is not running to avoid the spa draining and partially open when it's running in either pool (for spillover) or spa mode.
I have placed the actuator on the valve and set the cams to open and close where I want them too but am unsure how to program it to come on and go off with the pump. The menu options don't include pump. I'm sure there is a simple answer to this but as many of you know, pentair manuals leave a bit to be desired and a phone call will get you a long long wait just to speak to someone who is usually just looking it up in a manual...
Anybody mastered the pentair way of of thinking?
My other alternative would be to rework a bunch of recently installed pipe, add a bunch of 90's and a backflow valve to stop spa drainage. Obviously I would prefer to solve this automation issue instead since I have already gotten this far with it.
I already thought about just using it for spa mode and changing my pool/spa valve to open spa a bit for spillover but my current run settings(2000rpm) are not powerful enough to spillover even at 50/50.
Any thoughts/ ideas appreciated .
Thanks
