Can someone please do a video on scheduling different high and low speeds. Fine ... we know how to configure pump speeds 1,2,3,4 etc. and assign them to a curcuit, but how do you schedule that pump speed!
This was very helpful!, I've been running my pool in service mode because I could never get this to work, but now I understand it, thanks for the helpful video 👍
What's needed to be done on the pump though? What mode or program would I put the pump in so that the box always controls it? It was helpful to see the screen part. Nothing was discussed about what needs to be done on the pump.
You hook the communication cable to the side of the drive. If it doesn’t recognize it and say “display not active” on the pump screen then cut the breakers off, wait a minute and then it should connect.
@@ChlorineKingPoolService Helpful. Thank you for that man. Since his system is brand new, we told him to have the installer or pentair tech look at it. He was also receiving a "No Comm" error as well on the panel. Much love to you for taking the time to respond!! I have 46 pools now in Austin, I couldn't be more grateful to work for the guy that I do.
@@ChlorineKingPoolService I got it now. Called Pentair and they told me about the other APP I needed on my phone to do it. The guy that set up my equipment wanted to charge me to come back and set it up. So i did it myself finally.
@@ftz2518 I searched everywhere online and couldn't find this info either, so I called Pentair and spoke to a CSR for about 10 mins. Here is how you do that: You need to assign a separate circuit name for each pool pump speed. So go into settings -> circuit names. If you only want a high and low setting (to program) keep your "pool" circuit as your low (or high, but generally it's kept as low) and then rename "feature 1" to pool high (low if you're doing it the opposite). Now go to your settings -> intelliflo and for your VS(F) pump assign the speed you want for the pool circuit (low speed) and then separately assign the speed you want in a different number (1-8) for the pool high circuit. The in your schedules, you will see pool as a schedule option and (scrolling down) you will see pool high as a scheduling option. Set the low schedule to the one named pool, and your high schedule to the one named pool high. The CSR told me that overlapping schedules will always default to the higher speed. So if you wanted to do low from 8 AM to Noon, High from non to 4 PM, and then back to low from 4 PM to 8 PM, then set two (overlapping schedules). Set your low from 8 AM to 8 PM, and then set your high from noon to 4 PM. Because there is a maximum amount of schedules the easy touch will accept, this is preferable (only 2 schedules) to creating 3 schedules for each of the 3 times, since it saves a schedule slot for something else (so you don't run out). You could apply the same logic to create 3 speeds, using pool low (low speed), pool (medium speed) and pool high (high speed), assigning the pool low and pool high to features 1 and 2 and following the speed and schedule logic as explained above. Keep in mind, that the assigned "pool" circuit name (speed) is the speed you will get when you press the "pool" button on your remote, so make that the speed you want when you manually turn on the pool pump. In your pump settings, you should only have each circuit name showing up once (to one speed). If you have multiple speeds assigned to same circuit name, I believe it uses the highest speed for your schedules assigned to the circuit name. I hope this explanation helps. It's seems to be a very contrived system, but at least it should be able to do what you need it to.
@@gregsvaughn Thank you, Gregory, very well explained and super informative. I didn't give it a try yet but it is clear now on how to make it happen. Thanks again --
LOL. It'd be very time consuming to set up every little option this thing has to offer. I tried to highlight the big ones that would allow someone to get the pool running. Thanks for watching.
CK's video was honestly really helpful. He was aiming to help the most people in the least amount of time. How many other real world technicians are taking time out of their busy pool day to share knowledge for Free??? Sorter, go be a jackass somewhere else. LOL
How do you use the 8 programmed speeds you can set? I have easy touch and screen logic and believe I have to assign a circuit or relay to each speed. I can’t use up all circuits or relays (because I use them for other things bcs) so I only programmed easy touch and screen logic for a high, medium and low (regular filter) speed. I guess what I’m asking is how do you activate all the 8 speeds we can set, as shown in this video?

Exactly! Still looking for a video of that.
in the menu go to schedules and add schedules there you should be able to program the different speeds there as well

What about scheduling the times for each program?!

Great video... Is there a chance to actually remove one of the 8 speeds and only have like 5?
Yes you can have as many speeds as you'd like up to the 8.
How do you adjust the _“ramping”_ speed change to “fast, medium, or slow” via EasyTouch?
All I want to do is run my VSF pump for 4 hours at 3000 RPM and then another 8 hours at 1300 RPM. How can I do that? Know one has a video on that.
You just have to set up two schedules and apply the speeds to those schedules.

Yes.

Any way to set up two schedules with 2 different speeds off the easy touch
Yes, in the schedules menu you should be able to do just that. Good luck!
I don't see how it is done - any tips, clues or feedback on how you did it?

Lol all these easy touch videos but none on how to set high and low for pool.
