    Pump speed questions

    Sand filter. Not sure what brand or model. No markings on it from the outside. Might make another post to help identify it... would be nice to know what it is for the future if I need parts or when I'm ready to replace the sand. I added info to my signature, thanks. Ah ok. Thank you for the...

    Pump speed questions

    Good to know. Thank you. That is what I was hoping. That makes sense however this is a repeated range over the span of multiple days without cleaning the filter in between so I wouldn't think that would apply to this. For example: Monday at 9am its running at 36gpm and by 11pm its down to...

    Pump speed questions

    Hello TFPers, Not long ago I had a new Pentair VSF pump and intellicenter automation system installed. The installer setup the schedule to run at a very high speed (3400 rpm) for 12 hours a day. After doing some research here I realized that wasn't necessary from a filtering/chlorine production...

    Jet size

    Most of them having nothing screwed in. I was told the previous owner didn't really keep up with the pool. There was a lot of missing/broken equipment and lots of repairs/updates needed. Uh, not really I guess? It's not perfect but not sure if it could be improved or not. Yes I will try and...

    Jet size

    Hi all, My pool was apparently built by a madman and has TWENTY (yes you read that right... 20) return jets. There are several (like 6 or 7) valves to change which ones are on so they don't have to all run at once but still... a little overwhelmed here. Any advice on if I should use 1/2" or...

    Intellicenter single speed pump turn on delay

    Ah I see. Thank you both for the explanation. Per the manual it looks like I can click a random cancel button in the delays menu to cancel all the current delays... however I don't see a way to cancel the delay from the mobile app. I'm assuming that would be too convenient? :D Not great UI/UX...

    Intellicenter single speed pump turn on delay

    Just had an intellicenter installed. Everything is working well. However the pump (single speed) that runs my polaris pool cleaner seems to have a 5 minute delay when turning *on* ... however there is no (or very minimal) delay when turning off. My VS pump has no (or very minimal) delay when...

    Pentair drive interchangeability?

    For anyone wondering who finds this in the future, I decided to risk it and try the Pentair 356879Z. Came today. Popped it on my IntelliFloXF VSF and rewired it up and it seems to be working fine so far. Will put out another update in a week or two if I have no issues as well as update again in...

    Pentair drive interchangeability?

    Thanks. I'll check that. I thought about that but I read their warranty info and there are several disqualifiers for me in there such as not being the original owner, not registering the product and not knowing who installed it or having any of the associated documentation, etc. So I didn't...

    Pentair drive interchangeability?

    Ah ok. Was hoping someone here would have tried it already... From a high level it seems like it could/should work... but not sure it's worth the risk... Yes I considered replacing the entire pump, but it is supposedly relatively new (2020... per the previous owners; just purchased a new home)...

    Pentair drive interchangeability?

    Thanks. Yes I've seen that, but isn't that only the "official" direct replacement list? As I said, I understand what I'm looking to do might not be ideal or officially supported, but just trying to determine if it will work and at least provide basic functionality without damaging anything?

    Pentair drive interchangeability?

    Hello, My pool has a Pentair IntelliFloXF VSF (Part # 022056) and I'm having issues with the drive. Looks like the power delivery circuit overheated and melted the board. Thus it needs to be replaced. Per Pentair's documentation I need the drive with Part # 357521Z, however I have been unable...
