Freeze protection for Pentair Superflo VS

[heath711]

Hello

I bought this pump not realizing there was not freeze protection. I understand the pentair external cable 356324z can be used to connect to old freeze sensor. Can anyone offer any help on how to wire this cable to sensor. Thanks.

Heath,

How old is the pump? Just want to make sure you get the right cable.

Basically the pump provides 5 VDC that is connected to one side of the freeze protect thermostat. The other side of the thermostat is connected back to the pump. So when ever freeze protect kicks in, the 5 VDC passes through contacts of the thermostat and this tells the pump to run. You have to program the run speed using the pump's control panel.

The manual is pretty clear, but I can draw you up a rough schematic is you need it.

Thanks,

Jim R.

While waiting to get it installed, run the pool at night, 2:00AM - 8:00AM at least.

The pump is 2years, there is a reference in the pump manual for rs485, my pump was manufactured prior to 10/15/2020. I'm hoping the cable they sent me will work, it's not the model I ordered. I ordered the brown 353129z and they sent me the black 356324z. I appreciate any help you can provide.

The black 356324z should work fine in your pump. It just has two more wires connected.

The pre 11/20/2020 SuperFlo VS without RS-485 used Pentair Wiring Kit 353129Z with wires in six of the eight pins. Pentair Wiring Kit 353129Z is now obsolete and is replaced by Wiring Kit 356324Z with wires connecting all eight pins.
