Pool Pilot Questions

[jeffvrba]

Hello All,

Sorry for my hiatus from PF. Please allow me to neglict replying to older posts, older than 2010, since I would hope that you have received some assistance and resolved those problems by now. I will be on and checking Pool Forum more frequently, now that I know it's back up and active again.

If you're still having Pool Pilot problems or question, please refresh them and I will get you an answer.

Regards,

I am getting ready to install my pool pilot dig 36 and the instructions tell me that I should place the unit as the last connection in the pool water line. My water flow goes from the filter, through the spa and then spills into the pool. I am planning on locating the unit near the pump before the spa because the lines going to the spa are not accessible, is this ok?

Jeff, is there not a diverter valve that lets you adjust the flow between the pool and the spa? The Pool Pilot manifold should be installed after this valve and on the pool side.
Should you install it on the spa side, or before this valve, you need to make sure that you manually reduce the output %, to avoid any damaged that may result from too high a chlorine level.

If you can send me a photo, it may make it easier for me to assist. If it's not convenient to send or attach it through Pool Forum, send it to my e-mail,

Sean,
Thanks for your help, I have my Digital set up and running and everything is working fine. One more question, right now the external timer is running everything, but I would like to use the PPD to turn the pump on and off and power the heater . Do I need the optional pump relay to do this?
