You are a much better man than me... :mrgreen: I have never been able to get it to reliably work on my two rent house pools... Thanks, Jim R.

22, Since you live in AZ, I would recommend the finer filter... Most people don't have pounds of dirt in their pools, like many in AZ do. Thanks, Jim R.

Ben, You obviously know the corrosion came from the leaking shaft seal... :cry: A new pump should be in the $1,600 range... https://www.polytecpools.com/Pentair-IntelliFlo3-VSF-30HP_p_9748.html The control heads do not fail all that often, but... They are the number one item to fail on...

W, Then most likely you don't have an operating main drain right now... Do you have floating diverter valve under your skimmer basket... ?? If you are like most pool owners, you do not.. This mean that your main drain is not operational... I am surprised that your pool contractor, did...

Forest, It is a screw-on connector.. But you should just put the automation into the Service mode and then you can use the pump's display. Also something to check... When in AUTO the pump's display should show "Display Not Active".. If it does not show that, then the automation is not...

W, I'd plug it if it ever fails.. Is your main drain run back to the equipment pad, or does it go into the bottom of your skimmer?? Thanks, Jim R.

17, That is a load of Bull Feathers... Who told you that? The pump and the cell can be on the same breaker.. But they suggest that nothing else be connected to that same breaker. Thanks, Jim R.

77, I believe that to get the full warranty you still have to get a "professional" to install it.. Thanks, Jim R.

John, I assume that was just a test, to see what the EVO could pick up.. :scratch: Or do you plan on manually vacuuming every time? Thanks, Jim R.

7, I think your cell is bad, but I'd want to check that nothing is connected to the com port inside the Power Center.. Show us a pics of the card inside the power center. Sorry, Jim R.

T, You are correct. I recommend these guys.. https://www.polytecpools.com/IntelliFlo3-VSF_c_763.html Are you getting a display or relay card??? Thanks, Jim R.

Adam, The first issue is that you can't open the deck jets valve "half" way.. It will be full on or full off.. You can manually adjust the valve so that it stops at half way, but then it will always stop at half way. Second possible issue.. Have you used the deck jets yet? Do you know that...

David, Thanks for the whole story... I doubt that turning things on and off each day using the timer will hurt anything. Thanks, Jim R.

Mike, If you open the check valve, the pump can not be running... If you open it when the spa water is low, I would expect some water to flow out, but it really depends on your plumbing.. Just take it out, clean it up and stick it back in. Make sure it goes back in the same direction it came...

David, I am puzzled?? VS pumps have their own internal timers and should get constant AC power. I thought the SolarTouch also had an internal timer and could control the pump?? Please tell us what specific pump you have, and why you want to run using an external timer box? Maybe I just...
