Does anyone have experience with using the HLPMPCONV converter board to give Hayward Omni full control over a Pentair VS pump? Yay or nay?
I have an OmniPL controller and a Pentair VS pump. I've programmed the pump directly to run at a higher speed when priming, which it seems to need because the equipment area for the pool is uphill from the pool itself -- apparently not best practice but that is how previous owners did it. Then, after a minute or two, the pump settles down to a lower speed. From the Hayward system's point of view, of course, the pump is just on or not.
Is there any additional advantage to having the Hayward be able to control the variable speed function, or is my workaround basically doing the same thing?
