How sensitive is the SVRS system? (E.g. slight changes in pressure or running a vacuum cause it to regularly shut off?)

We have had it for nearly 3 years now and this has not been an issue. It has yet to shut off with filter / vaccuum running daily. I did learn that our drains had already been retrofitted so we did not even need this feature but no complaints thus far.

It's very sensitive. Cleaning the pool is a pain. Putting the hose in to clean shuts it off, any air sucked in shuts it off, the solar heater shuts it off, changing valves for spa shuts it off.

We've had no issues with it at all. Provided it is set up correctly, and the maximum speed/suction set, it will only shut off if the water flow is stopped or slowed dramatically. Our vacuum hose has a pressure relief where it connects in the skimmer, so if the flow rate is too high excess water is drawn directly into the skimmer, bypassing the vacuum. This might be why we haven't had any issues. It's also important to run the pump at a speed no higher than is needed to keep the vacuum head moving. Running it at a higher speed wastes electricity, doesn't improve vacuum performance, and may make the pump overly sensitive to small flow rate changes. We've had no issues with it at all.

The only times I have had it fault out, is if it sucked air while connecting vacuum to skimmer and not getting air out of hose first, or diverter valve getting shifted while running pump.

I have had it running for 6 months or so and not found any sensitivity issues .. it appears to be pretty durable.Hope this helps.

Slight changes will not effect the system but big charges will. When the pump runs dry for several seconds the system sees this and will shut off. Things to keep in mind, prime the pump before you start vacuuming by turning it on for a few minutes before stopping to attach the hose. Make sure you are in speed three or four while vacuuming. You should also have a filter bucket with a bypass adjustment for your vacuum. This help the pump not run dry before you get water in the vacuum hose. Hope this helps, any other questions just let me know. Thx Geoff

The sensitivity has a programable range. If you connect a suction line to vacuum the floor it will shut off the pump. There is a default time where the pump will prime; however, the pump will shut off again within a few seconds. The best thing is to just reset the pump and press start to clear the air and there is no problem after that. I'm retired military and used the 24 hour clock. When I changed to military time, the pump would shut off many times during the day. Found out from company rep that even though this option can be programmed, it is not supported in the firmware. Changing to regular time the intermittent periods of shutting off stopped. I have had this pump a little over a year and wished I would have buying it sooner! My electric bill dropped significantly (run pump 16 hours/day) by $150.00 to $200.00/month! Paid for itself within months! You will not be disappointed, plus at its low speed you have to be close to it. You only hear the water features. The old pump was the only thing you could hear before and it was 20 feet away! Good luck!

Sorry for the delayed response. I actually got the thermostat for my parents as a gift, but did do the setup for them. I haven't heard any complaints about power outrages causing a system reset.

That is correct. The button on my system also happens to be sensitive, so I have to hold down hard or it will sometimes turn off

I cannot answer this question because since most places will perform a FREE diagnostic, I have since gotten rid of my unit. Good luck.

I'm not sure Barry, it probably turns off to protect itself. I turn mine off when it's not being used

Hmmm, the primary "problems" (disconnection/reliability) with the v1 were almost certainly traced back to the overheating problems as far as I understand. So the real hope is that the v2 would address that design problem (aside from the cost-reduction angle, that is) with possible heat-sink or ventilation improvements. Or so I am hoping.Either ways, Dogma512 and Tusker, thanks for your note and would appreciate your comments on how you are finding the v1 units. How are they doing, especially on the reliability front ?

Hi, Randoma. The scale will auto-shut-off in 60s if no operations, please noted.

On my unit the fan will only turn off if the unit shuts down due to a full bucket. Otherwise the compressor cycles on and off depending on what you have the humidity control set at, but the fan runs all the time. Like the service rep told you, the unit won't know what the room humidity is if the fan isn't moving the room's air through the unit.

I have no idea. I've had no trouble with this unit. I use it often with no issues.

Mites in bed? Sure. HEPA? No. And within a year or so--and that's assuming you're lucky--the thing will start to fail on you, and you'll get about 5-10 seconds of vacuuming before it shuts off. You'll need to keep pushing/releasing the trigger to do anything longer. My recommendation would be to buy something else. Don't make the mistake I made.

The humidity sensor as well as everything else controlling this unit appears to be mechanical (no microelectronics such as computer control). Therefore it should restart instantly when power is reapplied. We have never run it with the humidity turned up full, but at 80% of full scale the house humidity goes over 50%. I really think if you set the humidity control to full, you don't have to worry about it turning itself off.

Is there something in the way of the sensors that keeps it from closing? Otherwise, Chris is right- adjust the down limit.

I had a switch that worked most of the time. Once in a while it would "stick" and a small tap on the side of the unit would free it up and it would run again ok for quite some time. However, on one of its stick times, I hadn't checked it for some time and my whole basement flooded. I changed the switch which I believe is a weak point in the system (after reading other people's posts).

I have had a few of these burn out on me from using the dehumidifier into a sink with this pump attached. The vendor that I purchased from has been excellent in replacing the faulty units. After several replacements, I stopped keeping it on the automatic switch and just plug/unplug the unit each day. In my opinion, the sensor unit cannot handle the load. Hope this helps.

I don't know. I've not had any problems with mine. I keep it running continuously.

Each of the sensors in the current version transmits approximately every 3 minutes, if the pressure is remaining essentially constant. On the other hand, if the pressure suddenly changes either up or down, the sensors transmit practically real-time updates. I have seen no difference in the behavior of a TPMS purchased a month ago, compared with one purchased a year ago. There is an issue, however, if you have a 12v outlet in your car that stays on when the ignition is off and the key removed. In that case, the TPMS can run your battery down (overnight, for instance) and should be unplugged.

Hey Stanley, it shouldn't stop at all until the time you set is up. If its stopping then you have a hardware problem with your Airfryer.
