Pentair Solar Touch Pump Compatibility

[ScoopDogy]

Hi,
According to my pocketbook, I've spent a fortune on this solar pool heater so I'm wanting to buy a used pump for my Pentair Solar Touch system. Besides IntelliFlo and IntelliPro, who is using a different pump out there successfully and which pump are you using?

Hi,

Are you going to use a single VSP for both filtration and solar? Will you be using a solar booster pump? For a single-pump system with a VSP, the Solar Touch will only directly control the two Pentair pumps you have mentioned, using their internal timers for the rest of the programming. For a solar booster it will control a single-speed pump or a VSP that can be controlled by relay inputs. Hayward and Waterway VSPs have relay-control built in, others, like the Circupool/Black&Decker/Calimar, require an adapter.
