Pentair WhisperFlo VST Programming and Set Up

The Pentair WhisperFlo VST is a great mid-range VS swimming pool pump. You will also like the ease of programming, which should take about 5 minutes. Here is a video guide on how to set the schedule and pump RPM. 




SPEED Buttons - Used to select a desired speed program. When the LED above a SPEED Button is illuminated, that program has been selected or is running. A blinking LED indicates that an External Control has activated that program.

External Control Only LED - Indicates whether the pump is in External Control mode. When LED is illuminated the drive-programmed schedules are disabled and only commands from digital inputs will be acted upon.

Start/Stop LED - Indicates whether the pump is in a Start State. When illuminated, the pump can be started at any time by external controls, drive-programmed schedules or manual inputs. When the pump is stopped, and the LED is not illuminated, the pump is unable to run from any input.

Start/Stop Button - Used to start and stop the pump. When the pump is stopped, and the Start/Stop LED is not illuminated, the pump is unable to run from any input.

Display Parameter LEDs - When illuminated, the LED indicates the information being displayed on the screen. A blinking LED indicates that the parameter is currently being edited.

Display Button - Used to toggle between the different available display modes. This button also sets the clock, screen brightness, and pump address.

Quick Clean Button - Used to run the speed and duration programmed for Quick Clean. When the LED above the Quick Clean Button is illuminated, a Quick Clean cycle is active. Power LED - When illuminated, LED indicates that there is live power being supplied to the pump.

“+” and “-” Arrows - Used to make adjustments to the pump settings. The “+” arrow increases a value, while “-” decreases a value. Pressing and holding either arrow button will increase or decrease incremental changes faster.

Can I Use Clorox Bleach in my Pool?

Image
Regular Unscented Bleach I started doing pool service when I was 16 years old back in 1988. I took a break from the industry and did some Real Estate Investing and ran a small business for awhile. But I always loved working outdoors and so I decided to do pool service again. So I have about 15 years of practical experience in the field. My specialty has always been water chemistry as I was formally trained by an experts in the field. So I am well versed in most of the chemicals that are on the market today and I have used and tested a lot of different products. So when you hear those in the industry discourage and even slander anyone who uses bleach in their pool, you may think that it is not a product that you should use.

Mr. Pen Non-contact Voltage Meter - Don't Get Electrocuted!

Image
One of the biggest issues you will run into with anything connected to an AC power is if that device or equipment is receiving power. In the pool service industry, this often is the case when you find that a pool pump won’t turn on. Or if a pool timer doesn't on, is it receiving power? Also for repairs with so many breakers being unmarked, how do you know you turned off the right breaker. Bottom line, a non-contact detector like the Mr. Pen is an easy way to see if power is going to the equipment/device and the line is active. A non-contact voltage detector is just that. You don’t need to make contact with the line like with a Multimeter. Plus you don’t need to adjust any settings or knobs to get a voltage reading. Simply hold the Mr. Pen over a cord or wire whip and if there is AC power a red light will turn on and an audible beep will come out of the device. A very easy way to tell if power or a current is present.  To order: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092LFYTG5?&_encoding=UT
