    AquaLink RS Buttons not responsive

    Update: Right after posting I saw it had warmed a bit so I headed out to have another quick 'play'. Put it into Auto and BAM .... it worked! Tested other functions in Service Mode and everything seems to be working properly again. No idea what happened overnight (I didn't do anything...

    AquaLink RS Buttons not responsive

    Hi JD, did you find a resolution for this issue please? I have a similar problem absolutely nothing works in Auto. In Service Mode I can run the Pump (which is good) but nothing else responds. Its too cold to spend time on the pad for a few days so I'm just trying to research similar issues...

    Can you program a Pentair Intelliflo with Aqualink RS All Button?

    I found an IQ30-A Wi-Fi connect module on eBay and took a chance. I installed it this afternoon. Everything is working correctly now with added bonus that my Home Assistant can read and control the system as well. Total cost was $700 which is pretty good although there is always a risk buying...

    Can you program a Pentair Intelliflo with Aqualink RS All Button?

    Yes it is. In the install manual it doesn't show anything about variable speed in the All Button section; that info is all under One Touch. Also in Section 3.3.4 of the Install Manual ( https://www.iaqualink.com/-/media/zodiac/global/downloads/0748-91071/6594.pdf ) it says "Note that AquaLink®...

    Can you program a Pentair Intelliflo with Aqualink RS All Button?

    Update: I had the board changed out and there are no options in the All Button menus to select the type of pump or change speeds etc. So it looks like the Aqualink RS One Button cannot program or control a variable speed pump - only the iLink or the One Touch have this functionality. The...

    Can you program a Pentair Intelliflo with Aqualink RS All Button?

    Hi Allen, Thank you for your reply but I'm still not clear on whether the 'default speed table' below, mentioned in Jandy Aqualink RS - Further Reading | Trouble Free Pool under Pumps, VSP Setup and Scheduling will be created when I select the Intellipro via the Aqualink All Button menus or is...

    Can you program a Pentair Intelliflo with Aqualink RS All Button?

    Quick Background: My old Aqualink RS4 cannot control the Pentair Intelliflow installed last year via RS-485 (unsupported). It's a simple single pump system so I have been running the on/off schedule via the Aqualink RS All Button (which basically controls the 240 volt power to the pump). On...

    How Clear is TFP Clear? Let's See (Pics Only Please).

    Last year we bought a house with a pool which is over 20 years old - it was in bad shape - having been maintained with pucks and shock and never been resurfaced - it looked ugly! I had the pool company look after it for for a few months until the end of the season while I tried to get my head...

    Hour 52 post startup

    Hi Wreckem. I'm in north Texas with a pool in sun for most of the day. With a CYA of 30 I was burning through 4 plus FC a day. From information gleaned from the site I raised my CYA to 50 which brought my FC demand down to a more manageable level. I test early evening and add the chlorine so...

    Equipment lower than pool - how to get through winter in future

    Thanks for response MK. Digging might be a challenge with the way it is now but enclosing in a removable insulated box is definitely on the list. I say removable so I could extend to cover heater I think (obviously with gas turned off).

    Equipment lower than pool - how to get through winter in future

    Hi Poolgate, thank you for your reply. The water was around 50 deg on average the last month or so. But of course we do have periods with air temp in 70's or even 80's during winter. So I guess the other part of my question is, what could I do on the return side to help protect it in future if...

    Equipment lower than pool - how to get through winter in future

    Brief intro before I get to my question - skip to the end if you like. I inherited a 20 year old pool 5 months ago - its my first so I'm learning a lot from TFP - thank you! Like so many in Texas, I got hit by longer and longer power outages during the freezing weather - longest 22 hours. I...
