I think running the pump 24/7 as slowly as you can is a better idea to make sure there is always flow to the SWG. I can't find any threads here where anyone has ever tried to do 2 flow switches for 1 SWG. Keep things simple and you'll be ok.

What would an additional flow switch do? One is enough to ensure that the SWG won't come on if no water flows through it. A better way to protect your system would be to wire the pump and SWG onto the same timer, with the pump on the Line side and the SWG on the Load side. That way the pump...

Which model pump do you have? Make sure that your pump is compatible with the Intelliconnect before you buy one. You need to be able to control the pump through the Intelliconnect for the relay protection to work. Using an Intermatic pool timer or a wifi timer to turn the SWG on and off would...

Glen - On the Pentair Home app for the Intelliconnect, there is an option in the relay settings to require the filtration pump to run when the relay is active. That should take care of the situation you're asking about. If the Intelliconnect will work with your pump , I think a better option...

Your firmware and software info is under product overview in the Intelliconnect settings on the app. I was told by Pentair this week that this is the current firmware. Sometimes it can take a little bit to get help from Pentair but once you do they are very helpful.

In the past I've disconnected the RS-485 hub in the Intelliconnect to give control back to my IC40 and pump. Be sure to turn off power to all devices before doing that. I would contact Pentair support and see if there are any firmware updates for your Intelliconnect. That solved my...

Can you change the output on the IC40? The cell light is only on when the IC40 is producing chlorine. I would double-check the RS-485 connections at both ends. Be sure to have the power off on both the Intelliconnect and the IC Power Center when you are working on that. If that doesn't work...

You should see the % output change on the IC40 after you change it in the Pentair Home app. There is a slight delay, but never more than a few seconds for me. If the IC40 is connected correctly through the RS-485 cable to your Intelliconnect, you should only be able to change the output in the...

IntelliConnects with host firmware 1.6.2.5 and above now have the ability to control the SuperFlo VST manufactured after 2020, and I’ve seen a couple of members here doing just that. I have an Intelliconnect and it works fine for my simple pool. But if the Intellicenter Lite had been available...

Which model Superflo VS pump do you have? The newer ones with RS-485 port will now work, even though the manual says they do not. I think it's model 342002. If your pump is too old, having an Intellisync and an Intelliconnect seems like a disaster waiting to happen. Better to buy a new pump...

I don't have a color light, but here is what the options are for adding a light to one of the Intelliconnect relays: All Pentair color lights fall under that one category, so it seems likely your light would work.

If you can get it in your area, TWP 100 is the way to go. TWP® Total Wood Protectant Prepping the wood properly before applying any product is the most important step you can take.

I agree that there is little documentation on the Intelliconnect, although it does seem like Pentair is paying a little more attention to it than they used to. But like Allen said, it is automation meant for a simple pool. What pump do you have? Why is it connected to a relay and not through...

Holy smokes! That's way too high to engage the flow switch. When was the last time you cleaned your sand filter? Maybe a deep clean would help, and it looks like Allen already mentioned that the IC40 should be installed with the flow up not down. I think redoing your plumbing will help a lot.

If there is water moving through the system it is safe. What you don't want is the IC40 to be on when the pump is off. That could possibly lead to an explosion. What speed turns on the flow switch for the IC40? I doubt you will have effective skimming at speeds much lower than that. At...

I can't check what is lit or not lit on my system because it's still put away for the winter. :sleep: If the flow light is lit then the IC40 is not generating chlorine. Why do you want to turn off the IC40? Let it make chlorine whenever you run the pump. Tweak the pump run time and the...

I looked at the pics you posted on your thread, and it looks like the 2nd pump speed is set as a timer, not as a schedule. Check on that in the Pentair Home app and see if that makes it run correctly.

Great to hear that it's working! Did you have to get them to update the firmware, or did the Intelliconnect ship with the updated firmware?

That's great news! Glad you got everything working. My first thought is that you have to choose one or the other. But I think it would be worth seeing what happens if you run a line from the pool light junction box to a relay in the Intelliconnect, so commands can be sent from either the...

M - Looking forward to hearing whether or not you can get the Whisperflo VST working with the Intelliconnect. They keep telling us it will work but we haven't seen actually happen yet. That's definitely an updated install manual for the Intelliconnect, so I'm hopeful for you! Let us know how...

I am a part of a beta test group that Pentair is doing on updated firmware for the Intelliconnect. I reached out to my contact at Pentair this morning and this is his response: "342002 pumps made after 2020 are capable of connecting to our automation via RS-485, IntelliConnects with host...

After you unscrew, lift the motor up and off of its connector and then reset it, then screw it back down.

I've had a similar problem with my robot only running for a few minutes. Resetting the motor helped solve that for me. Here's Maytronics video about how to do that.

I had a similar problem with my robot - resetting the motor solved the problem for me. If that doesn't work, I would call about warranty coverage. Here's the Maytronics video on how to do that:

It is frustrating, and hopefully something they are working on fixing. It's hopeful to know they are working on updates to the Intelliconnect. Glad that they could update your firmware quickly and that it fixed your problem! Now that your equipment is all running right, be sure and read...

Does your pump say it's connected to automation? I'm assuming you were able to control the pump from the app before the Intelliconnect was added to the mix. Which model pump do you have - 011075 or 011076? Have you contacted Pentair support? Maybe your Intelliconnect needs a firmware update...

Yes, the pump needs to be controlled through the Intelliconnect in the Pentair app. This is to keep the heater from being turned on if the pump isn't running and to shut the heater off if the pump gets shut off. All of your devices need to be added under the Intelliconnect You will probably...

Sublime - Welcome to TFP! Pictures of how things are wired in the Intelliconnect would be helpful. It sounds like it's wired correctly (after you disconnected it from the relay) if the heater turns on when you hold down both relay buttons in service mode, but let's be sure. Thoughts - do...
