Autopilot Pre-sales Questions

1. Whoops. I must have had the Pool Pilot cell size on the brain. My pool size is 14,000 gallons, so I'm guessing the smaller size would work if I chose to go that route.
-->Yes, the SC-36 will work, as will any of the three cell sizes. In addition, as you mentioned, you can always upgrade down the road to a larger size if needed.

3. My mounting location would be on the side of the house next to the timer, so it should be okay although I may consider some options to protect it. I assume I would need to maintain adequate air flow if I shielded it somehow.
-->Air flow would be good. It's got it's own internal cooling fan so that it will force ventilate any hot air out of the system. Just don't enclose the box so there's no air exchange.

4. I suppose I would replace my timer since it has that capability. But does it have also have a switch to shut the heater off to allow it to cool prior to shutting down the pump?
--> The Digital does not allow for a "firemans switch", which is the gas heater shut off delay that is probably built into your external time clock. Most newer gas heaters and all heat pumps do not require this firemans switch. IF you're looking to use the Digital, check with the heater manufacturer to see if it requires the shut down delay.

Having someone on this forum is a big plus for the Pool Pilot. On the other hand, prior to posting these questions yesterday, I sent emails to both Intellichlor and AutoPilot. I got a quick response today from Intellichlor, but have yet to hear from AutoPilot. (Having you here to answer questions beats email anyday, but I thought you might want to know that.)
--> I appreciate that Steve. Your feedback is most important, especially if we're not able to respond to your e-mails promptly! I will address this with customer service... how long ago did you send in the e-mail?

I'm not Steve, but I did get a response today. Two days isn't bad, but one day by your competitor was better.

WOW..where did I get Steve from? Sorry.
