I went down a rabbit hole upgrading my pool after the freeze here in Texas. After I fixed a broken valve and top off water line I decided to replace, upgrade or rebuild most of my 2007 vintage equipment. I wanted to do this since the pumps are loud and the pool pad sits directly on the outside wall of our bedroom. Normally this is not an issue since they run during the day however when it's in freeze mode they make noise all night. The pumps are also single speed power hogs.
My TA100D sand filter had a leaky valve so I tried to replace the spider gasket. The gasket was glued in so well that I spent about 1 1/2 hours digging the old one out. When I returned the valve to service it still leaked a little through the waste port so I decided to just replace the valve.
I have parts ordered to rebuild the check valves and jandy valves although they all appear to work.
I replaced my 2 main pumps with Intelliflow 011056 models. At the moment I have them wired up to the relays but will directly connect them to the breaker. I also plan on using GFCI breakers for the pumps.
I replaced the PB40 booster pump with a PB4SQ. The new pump seems very plasticky and light weight, not sure how long it will last. It is quiet and supposedly 30% more efficient.
The Easytouch system was in need of a wiring cleanup and a good re torquing of the connections. While I was at it I added the ScreenLogic2 adapter wired via ethernet directly to my router. My Easytouch has a firmware version of 1.060. I am able to connect via my iphone and computer but have some issues.
I connected the communication lines from the pumps, screenlogic2 and easytouch wireless remote to the com port on the controller. The pumps have an address of 1 and 2. On the screenlogic configurator I can see one pump but not the second. My wireless remote is not functional and the screenlogic can make configuration changes but it can not control the pool. I am assuming that my firmware is too old to manage this configuration. I now understand that boards with the 1.060 firmware are not upgradable. So now I guess I would upgrade the controller to the intellicenter?
Once I have the controller working I am going to replace the lights. I planned on using the PoolTone LED color bulbs from Florida Sunseeker. Will thees bulbs be compatible with the intellibright control scheme?
