Hey Pool Clown,
Do you have pics of your setup pls?
I am trying to do the same.
Here is the setup I tried today with not too stellar results.
" Trying to bypass the booster pump and run the 280 directly off the Intellflo 2 VST Variable Speed pump (VSP).Here is the experimental setup and results. Thoughts and guidance appreciated.The return from the intelliflo to filter was disconnected. (have a union there, so just disconnected it)Hard Plumbed ( w 3/4" Sch 40 piping + a 1.5" union+ 1.5"-3/4 reducer ) the return of the VST direct to the dedicate return line for the 280.Observation: 1- When trying to prime @ 2400 RPM: the pump does not fully prime. The pump strainer pot is only filled about 3" from the bottom. however, 2- The Polaris 280 is crawling in the pool at the same at a very low speed.3- Putting the return back to filter, pump primes normally.Questions:1- is the 3/4 plumbing directly after the Intelliflo, not allowing the air to escape out and causing priming issues?2- Would using a 3 way valve from the return work? 1would go to the polaris 280, the other would go to the FNS60. I would prime with the output of 3 way diverted to FNS and after being primed, would direct the flow to the 280. 3- Has any one been successfully able to run the 280 off the VSP?LLAP
