Poolsean: AutoPilot Pool Pilot settings for new pool

[zmachines]

I can answer the power level question. Start on level 2 and if you cannot maintain your desired FC readings with the output above about 20% then drop to level one and run it there. If you cannot maintain the reading in level two below about 80& then move up to level 3.

Haven't looked at the manual for a Pool Pilot Dig in a while so Sean is more qualified to answer your other questions BUT if memory serves me correctly then you can select low or high with the two speed pump but need to install a separate shutoff since the pump will run in low all the time unless the system sets it to high.

Thanks waterbear...one clarification, did you mean to say that if I "can" maintain FC readings in level 2 then to drop to level 1?
Got my Taylor kit in yesterday, I'll take my first reading tonight.

Thanks,
Michael
