I am swapping out a dead Pentair vs3050 with a new Pentair Intelliflo VSF 011056. The original vs3050 control cable from the panel fits the control cable plug socket on the VSF, but it does not have the screw on retainer so I suspect it may not be exactly the same. Can I simply plug the...

Typically, people suggest hanging the CYA in a bag in front of a return. I have found it very effective to put it in a bag/old tights on top of my drain, so water is pulled through it. My pool has two drains beside each other for safety, so water is also being pulled from the other drain when...

My Pentair 011013 has died (corrosion). Does anyone know if the geometry on the latest version (011056) is identical? i.e., can I swap in the new pump without changes to the piping...?

I have a Screenlogic 2 protocol adapter that I bought last year. It was always temperamental and difficult to 'hit' on the network, but apart from network issues it did work. After a 5-month absence it now appears to be dead; the red light is on, but the tiny green network light blinks once...

Thanks to a TFP member, I now have my Intellichem up and running :party: Too soon to comment on performance, but it seems to be working OK. However, I do not see the Intellichem in the Easytouch (bought October 2009, never updated) menus - it doesn't show up in settings/diagnostics/etc...

I am hoping that someone on the forum with an Intellichem might be kind enough to pop it open and check out the answer to this question. I would call Pentair but they are closed for Christmas... OK - last week I installed an Intellichem. In the course of installation, the small circuit board...

I am puzzled by apparently inconsistent values for my salt level. I just refilled my pool through a water meter, so I know that it holds 21,500 US gallons. I goofed when using the calculator for the salt; I set it to Imperial rather than US, resulting in dumping in 18 x 40-lb bags of salt (720...

I am about to install an Intellichem flow cell and would appreciate some advice. My Intellichem unit has no pumps -it will control a separate peristaltic pump with an injector installed in the return line after all pool equipment, so I am using the sensor outlet ONLY as the return from the...

I would really appreciate some advice re pump timing on an infinity edge pool with a trough. Last year (I am down south so my pool season is the winter) I had an outbreak of black algae and I sure as heck don't want it back. OK - two Intelliflo VS pumps, one circulating the pool water from...

I am concerned about a mismatch in my chlorine test results. I use a salt chlorinator system and CYA is about 25 ppm (need to increase). I usually test for chlorine with Taylor's FAS/DPD test, and chlorine levels over the last couple of weeks have been (unusually) steady at 4.5 to 5 ppm...

I am a pool virgin setting up a virgin pool. Water has been in a couple of weeks and I have been using the forums and the Pool Calculator to educate myself and work on getting the water chemistry as it should be. A big thank you to all who contribute to these resources. Pool is an infinity lap...
