Old Pentair Easytouch + New Superflo VS

[tooth_tonic]

Hi, I just replaced the old single-speed pump to a new Pentair Superflo VS

My Pentair Easytouch was from 2004 so I can't have the Superflo setting through the panel (I won't have a Superflo item on the meanu) which means I can't control the speed from the panel.

My current setting is letting the panel control the on/off of the pump, I use "Egg Timer - Don't Stop" for 24-hour running.

I use the pump panel to set the Speed 1 speed to 1000RPM.

It works fine.

However, when it is running, the pump will be:

1. blinking the speed 1 LED light;
2. showing on the screen - Auto / 1000
3. showing the Exe. Control ONLY light is off

I can't do 3 things:

1. I can't press the Quick Clean button
2. I can't manual switch to the other 2 speeds
3. Even I set the Speed 1 Starting Time / Duration, Speed 2 Duration, Speed 3 Duration, it doesn't go to the other two speeds as I planned

The question is, is there way to bypass the Auto mode, so that I can quickly switch to other 3 models (Speed 2, Speed 3, Quick Clean) for different RPMs?

Thank you!

TT,

Have you actually tried to control the SuperFlo via the RS-485 com port?

Just set the EasyTouch to IntelliFlo VS pump and it should work assuming the SuperFlo VS is new.

You need the cable that has the RS-485 wires.

Thanks,
