Wiring an aquarite

[Poolsean]

I would recommend finding out the load capability of the X-10 unit to ensure that you don't over do that device. Most likely you'll have enough amperage on the X10 to connect the pump and Aquarite. Therefore, I would recommend that you connect the Aquarite to the SAME terminals that the pump is connected. Just remember though, that one line is constantly HOT and sending power through it...which means be careful!

I have an electrician( who does all the work for a local pool store that i trust) coming this following afternoon to just take a look.
The ratings for the switch should be one it somewhere would guess.
That said, it wont HURT the aquarite to have constant power on one lead all the time then?
I suppose it is only turned on by the flow switch so it should'nt.

i do appreciate all your input.

BND, no problem. Thats what this site is all about. The flow switch is a UL1081 required safety device. Having one line constantly powered will not harm the system.

All set, seems to be working fine, thought salt levels are a bit low.
Going to have that checked again and hopefully be set !
Thanks for all the help Poolsean
