Hello,
I'm a new member and a new pool owner. The house I bought has a Pentair SuperFlo pump with a Century V165 VS motor. The SWG is Autopilot Digital Nano. The power to the V165 is on continuously and the run schedule is set at the V165 motor control panel. The power to the SWG is controlled by an Intermatic PE153P three circuit digital timer. The Intermatic powers the SWG to match the V165 schedule. (8 hour run cycle per 24 hr period) . All is well until a power outage occurs. The timer retains the original time settings but the V165 immediately restarts it's run cycle from the beginning once power is restored. So if I have the timer set to turn the SWG on at 0930 and off at 1730 and I start the V165 cycle at 0930 all is well. The other night we had a power outage at 2300 hrs for 15 min. So upon power restore the V165 immediately started at step 1 and would have run for eight hours but the SWG wouldn't turn on until 0930 the next day. So, no chlorine. It's not a problem when we're here but we are back and forth between here and up north. I have a pool service and he is great but he checks it once a week so if we're not here it could be a problem with an outage. The only thing I can come up with is set the V165 to run 24/7 and let the timer continue to turn the SWG on for eight hrs a day. I haven't messed with the pump schedule yet, the previous owner has it set at 3100 rpm for 2 hrs, 2600 for 4 hrs and 1600 for 8 hrs. My plan is to eventually install a Flow Controls FV-C 2" flow meter to dial it in. The pool is about 11K gals. Any other idea's? Thanks. Great forum.
