For background, last fall after some heavy rains our heater controls stopped working properly. I ended up replacing the motherboard and I was able to control almost everything. I just wasn't able to get the heater to switch between pool and spa without doing it manually on the heater. But we were ready to be done with the pool for the year so I just left it alone. Now we're ready to reopen the pool for the summer and I'm hoping to fix whatever the issue is.
Here's what I'm running into:
The Intellitouch panel and Screenlogic app are able to turn the heater on and off and set the temperature without issue. However, when I need to switch from the pool to the spa (or vice versa) that is where the problem arises. Say I'm heating the pool and I want to start heating the spa. I can turn off the heater, turn off the filter, and and switch the valve from pool to spa. I can then turn the filter back on, and turn the heater back on. So far so good. However, when the heater comes back on it is still in pool mode not spa mode. The only way I can get it to switch is to hit the pool/spa button on the heater. Again, this happens both ways (pool to spa and spa to pool) and also happens if I switch the Intellitouch to Service mode and try to do everything manually on the panel. Somehow the panel is not telling the the new motherboard to switch modes. With the old motherboard it would automatically switch modes when the valve switched.
I'm hoping someone here has seen this before and can help. Attaching pics of the heater controls and the Intellitouch panel in case they're helpful.
Thank you!
