I have a Hayward salt system and a pentair intellipro 2vst pump
I had the VS pump put in a year ago. The installer took the stops of the mechanical timer, which leaves the salt system on all the time.
I'm on my third salt cell as of this week (the first died within a few days of buying the house) within the last 12 months. Ive read it's best to shut off the controller when the pump is off.
I would like to bypass the mechanical timer that both are currently connected to. What is the best way to do that? Connect the pump to the line terminals, or wire directly to the line terminals with wire nuts and have a short lead leading back to the line on the timer?
(Recap: pump will have power all the time, and salt system will be switched by the mechanical timer).
Thanks in advance.
