I purchased my new home and pool in June and have been able to figure everything out by combing through the forums here. Great resource! However, I finally have a problem I can't find an answer to.
I have a Pentair Intellitouch system that controls everything, or at least it is supposed to, and I've managed to get it to function for most items...valve actuators, lights, pumps. My heater however, remains manual. Heater is a MasterTemp 400K. I've done some digging and the jumper on the fireman switch is already removed and a wire is installed in it's place that runs to the Intellitouch. However, the wire ends are twisted together behind the main panel in the Intellitouch. Heater turns on manually with no problem and works great. When I untwist the wires and insert them in J19 (heater) the heater turns off and nothing will make it come back on. Even though the heater light is illuminated on the front panel of the Intellitouch, the heater never turns on. Pull the wires out of J19 and twist them together and the heater instantly turns on.
It seems to me that something is preventing the Intellitouch from activating the heater, even though it says it is activated. Any thoughts on how to fix or some troubleshooting ideas?
