Getting ready to start my inground concrete pool . Thanks in advance to all the folks on this forum that share their knowledge on a wide array of pool topics.....really appreciated. I'm trying to decide on equipment configuration now ( No spa or heater so I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible. Pool is 10 x20 rectangle shape 3.5'-5' (approx. 5500 gallons). Pool will have 3 returns, 1 skimmer, and 4 "therapy" jets on a deep end bench. I will switch between returns/ therapy jets when using pool via Jandy valve.
Equipment: Intelliflo3 w/ control panel and IO board (011078), Intellichlor 20, Pentair CCP320, 2 microbrites (white) and an Intermatic 4000 to house breakers, house 300watt transformer, pool switch, and gfci receptacle.
My plan is to use the Pentair Home App to control:
Pump run times and rpm speeds (probably going to run it 24hrs)
Use relay 1 to turn Intellichlor on/off via Home App. If I'm understanding it correctly, the 485 cable will prevent the intelliclor from turning on if pump is not flowing thus eliminating the need for a time clock. Once I dial in my chlorine demand I shouldn't have to adjust % output very often (correct?)
Use relay 2 to turn pool lights on / off via Home App.....I need to find out if I can use regular switch as well or if everything has to go though Home App.
There are not many threads (that I could find) discussing the use of the Intelliflo3 relays but I think it's a great feature ( If I'm understanding it correctly). I was going to purchase the Intelliconnect but don't think I really need now. Any feedback is appreciated.
