I assume the way to correct that is to install an update? I read through the info that JamesW posted above and I'm not inclined to spend the $750 for the Pentair programmer and I dont think I have the patience or skillset to build my own. I will check around to see if there's a pool company in...

So after your last response, I went to the panel and the pump display now says Display Not Active (no idea why it changed). I selected VS as the pump type, assigned the circuit as "Pool". Then hit the filter button and it started right up. Seems to be running fine now, but will set start/stop...

Only VS and VF are available at the panel. The VSF option is only available at the remote.

1. Check - Both ends connected 2. Both set at Pump #1 3. The available types at the main control are only VS and VF. However, on my hardwired remote inside the house, VF, VS, and VSF are available. I can assign it as VSF from the remote, but when I assign a circuit (Pool), I get "Communication...

Sorry for the delayed response... travelling + holiday events delayed the install. I went with your recommendation of Intelliflo VSF ). Finally had time to install it a couple days ago (and replaced that breaker as well). For power, I used the wiring from the single-speed pump that was...

What unions and nipples should I order? I hate to ask such a basic question but want to be sure I order the right items. Looks like my current pump has schedule 80 nipples. Is that standard for all pump installations? I think everything else in my system is sched 40.

Is there a specific model number you'd recommend? I see 5 different models listed:

Thanks for all of your feedback. As I mentioned above, I think I'll just bite the bullet$ and get a new Intelliflo.

Thanks for the recommendation. All things considered, I think a new Intelliflo is the way I'll go. And I'll swap out that breaker as well.

I'm not an electronics guy, and if I decide to go the route you are suggesting, I will definitely hire a local pool company to do the installation. Can you tell from this picture if there are enough unused relays? It looks to me like there are at least two.

I see. I will check for available relays.

I misunderstood. I thought you meant a motor recommendation for my Whisperflow. I dont think I want to buy a whole new pump.

I'm all ears...

Why? There are a couple of reasons: 1) The original install was a 2 HP. A few years back that motor died while I was travelling for business and the company that my wife hired for the repair installed a 1.5 HP, as that was what they had in stock. Since then, the spill-over from the spa to the...

I have a Pentair WhisperFlo pump w/1.5 HP single speed motor. The motor crapped out on me and I'm ordering a replacement. I'd like to move up to a 2 HP. I realize that I also need to get a different impeller that matches the new HP rating. My question is: Is the Impeller for the 2 HP a...

That is what I've heard... they are essentially the same. Is the housing of the MasterTemp more rodent resistant? As I mentioned, I had a rodent issue with my Max E Therm, and I've read of others with same.

I need some opinions from the pros about a new pool heater. First off, we live in Houston so our main use of the heater is to extend our swimming season. Heating the pool (14k gal) for weekend use in the early spring and fall. We also use it to heat the spa probably 1-2 time a month from...

Thanks!

Would you please post where you ordered your remote from? And do the added function work with the triton plus?

Well I finally found time to install the new TR, and that was definitely PART of the problem. Apparently the heater has not been working properly since we purchased this house and I had no idea, since this is the first pool I’ve owned. From the day we first moved in, the heater would take...

Good call, Paul. Even though it's Easter Sunday, this thing kept bugging me, so I pulled and tested the TR per your directions and no, it's not opening. Also, I checked, and the bypass is in place and no water in the canister (at least none leaking when I pulled the bottom bolt of the...

First of all, thank you very much for your help. Today I fired up the spa. The heater kicked in as it should. But this time it took the temp right up to 101, which is what it is set for. The heater cycled off when it hit 101, but then it never came back on when the spa temp began to drop...

I'm not sure how to jump it out. But I've replaced the high limit twice and the unit operates just fine for several weeks and then stops heating when the temp reaches the low 90's. And if I let the spa cool down, the unit will heat it back up to 90 again.

I have a Pentair MaxETherm OM pool/spa heater (400,000 btu). About a year ago, when turned on, the blower would start, the burner would fire, but then would immediately shut down. I pulled the covers off and discovered that a pack rat had built a nest inside. Long story short, I cleaned out...

I'm bumping this thread to see if anyone has had any luck opening the case of the remote to perform repairs. I've go the same problem as the OP.

Thanks for the quick response Richard. So you think it's just a seal? Part# 3 in the link you posted? The motor is not bolted down to the pad so I think I can separate the motor from the volute fairly easily. The I'm guessing that I just need to remove and replace the seal? Are there any...

Hi all. I have a Pentair 3/4 hp booster pump (Model LAO1N). Came home from work tonight and noticed that my cleaner wasn't moving around, so the first thing I checked was the booster pump. The motor was running and the shaft was turning, but I could not hear the impeller rotating and there...

So as far as performance and service life, you'd say that both brands are comparable?
