Greeting Everyone,
Long time lurker. This is the summer I finally get my pool equipment to function properly. We moved into a new house in 2019 with 2007 pool and it has the following: attached pool/spa with spillover (28K gal), intellitouch i7 with indoor controller P/N 520138 and spa-side i4 remote controlling: Hayward Tristar 3206, 5 valve actuators, 2 fountains, Paramount in-floor cleaning system, Pentair Master Temp 400 heater, spa blowers, Autopilot RC 35/22 Pool Pilot Nano SWG, pool light, spa light and Hayward C4030 cartridge filter.
My question is to automate pump speed for different pool functions which is a better choice the Intelliflo VS 011028 or Intelliflo VSF 011056? I know this has been asked in different threads but I haven’t seen opinions posted based on the floor cleaning system and existing intellitouch i7 automation. My desire is for the pump to increase speed daily for 30 min to maximize the IFCS and for increased speed when using the spa. The majority of the run time would be low speed daily for appropriate turnover. The question becomes moot if there is a way for the Intellitouch to control the existing pump.
Will I need to upgrade to ScreenLogic 2 to complete the programming portion or will my current indoor controller P/N 520138 be adequate?
The resolution of my situation falls on me. I have contacted 5 different companies in my area 50 mile radius only 1 actually came to the house after describing the situation and desired results over the phone. The others either declined or no showed the appointment. The one that actually showed up took notes collected a service call fee and called me several days later to say he wasn’t interested in completing the work.
Everyone thank you in advance for your feedback I look forward to hearing your opinions.
