pentair

Hi all, we just installed a Pentair Ultratemp hybrid heat pump/gas combo heater for our existing inground pool. We have solar so we decided to do the hybrid unit to have the option to use gas or electric plus we live in SoCal so no worries with temps. The pool builder is giving me the option to...

Hi there, I’m looking to replace my sand filter with a cartridge filter. I have a 4 year vinyl lined 26k gallon pool in upstate NY with a small amount of trees around at my neighbors property. The sand filter is fine I just want something that cleans a little better and less hassle of...

Hi, My Pentair intellivalve actuator is not switching to Auto mode.i shows red light and and nothing happens when I press the mode button. This is causing water overflow from the pool and not heat up properly when spa is turned on. Have any of you faced this issue and is there anything I can do...

I have the i10PS IntelliCenter system. This issue is relate to the intellivalves. On my system there are 2 ports for Intake and return valves and 2 Aux ports labeled A and B. I was renaming Aux A and I called it Intake. The system defaulted that valve to the Intake and it removed the ability to...

I am a first time pool owner and have a question about the wiring and programming of my Pentair VSF filter pump with an EasyTouch system. I think my pool builder made a mistake and wired my VSF filter to the load side. This meant the pump wasn't getting power unless the filter relay was...

My pentair salt generator is not producing chlorine even after cleaning. All lights are green. My pool supply guy says he has checked everything as far as chemicals go. He suggested that running the heat pump at high temperatures might be causing the issue. We like keeping the pool between 85...

Hi everyone, hoping for some feedback. I'll try and explain the series of events. A month ago, I happen to notice our pool water was in the high 90's deg. The temperature set in the Pentair mobile app was set for 65 deg, but it seemed the heater disconnected from the EasyTouch Panel and was...

I just bought a Pentair Intelliflo3 VSF, model 011075. It does not have the optional touchscreen. Everything is working fine, except that the clock time is wrong. I have searched both the "Intelliflo3 VSF Variable Speed and Flow Pumps Installation and Maintenance Guide" and the "Pentair Home...

Hi, I have a Pentair PL4 and Pentair Ultratemp Heat Pump. The controller works fine with all features (cleaner, lights, high speed, low speed), and the settings in the ScreenLogic app reflect the settings on the controller. However, the Ultratemp won't change from 70 degrees, no matter what the...

We have a vacation home with a Pentair EasyTouch pool & spa that we also rent out as a vacation rental. The controller set up has been giving us and our guests a lot of headache. Any suggestions for a pool controller system that would let us do the following? - Guests only have access to spa...

This is our first pool and we've only had it a few months. Every time we go to use the heater, we have issues. Twice I have set it at night before bed so it would be warm by morning. In the morning, the heater is off and the water is 1-2 degrees warmer than when I went to bed. I turn it back on...

Hi TFP community, I'm new to this forum and found out about it while doing some research on pool design. I decided to build a pool without going through a PB. Through my research I ended up selecting the following setup using Pentair equipment: The pool will be rectangular 32x18 from 3' to 6'...

My heater tries to come on, but sounds like it surges then kicks off. We hear a buzzing sound from the main breaker box.

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...

Hi everyone, I just replaced the shaft seal of a leaking Pentair Intelliflo 4 160 variable speed pump. When I put it back together, the pump worked better than before (no little bubbles in the pump lid, still a couple large bubbles). However, there was a consistent drip of water under the...

I think my best fix would be to remove the actuator and put a manual valve on there for the time being since it will be a couple weeks before I can get pentair out there to warranty it. Any videos/advice to remove it correctly?

I've had these Pentair Magic Bowls installed for three years now. Anyone have any ideas on how I can stop the paint from peeling? It's not limited to just the water surface area. As you can see it is even peeling off the top area where there is no water. It's worse where there is water contact.

My current pool filter pump needs replaced. It is an old Pentair whisper flo two speed pump that was controlled with a standard control panel with Intermatic timers. The pool also has a single speed Polaris booster pump that runs a Polaris suction pool cleaner. The wiring was not done well and...

Hey yall! So I've come across an issue with a clients minimax NT. This heater will not ignite for no one. Currently I'm receiving 120v in and out of the hot surface ignitor, I can see it turning RED. The gas valve is receiving 24v at the blue and white wires. Incoming Gas pressure is 8" wc...

Hello we are getting ready to install Pentair laminars that will be connected to intellicenter. Here is my layout.....1st laminar is about 60' from the intellicenter, 2nd is about 40' from 1st and 3rd is about 25' from the 2nd. (pic attached). So my question is, do i need to homerun a 1"...

Hello - I have a mystery. I have a intellicenter running two separate systems for pool and spa. When temp drops, both say that they are on freeze protection and the green light is on for both pumps on the app, but the spa pump flow is 0. I went and checked this morning, and the pump is not on...

I am using the four ports already and I need one more for my last remodel. Is there a device I can use to add an extra port somehow? Thanks

Finally an opportunity for a little bit of give back on this forum. With some support and encouragement from my friend @Jimrahbe I purchased this new Intelliflo3 VSF pump mostly because the previous model was infinitely backordered. I am so glad I did, so far I love this pump! Here is my...

The pump had been leaking for a couple of years and I finally decided to replace it. I found the motor on amazon and so I ordered a new motor and seal plate. I kept the wet side and control panel from the original. After watching some videos I replaced the motor. Seemed like it went well...

Hey everyone! New pool owner here. Bought a house with an existing 33k gallon in-ground pool with a Pentair Mastertemp 300 which has been working flawlessly for almost two seasons that I've owned it until I decided to clean it and I messed things up royally. First off, I was installing a wire...

First post! This forum has been a great resource ever since I became a first-time pool owner a few months ago! After replacing the old WhisperFlo pump with a brand new Intelliflo VSF, I have heard two different noises, which definitely don’t sound normal, coming from said pump. The first is...

Hi there, I have experience with maintaining a simple chlorine pool with a single speed pump, single cartridge filter and cholorine tablet dispenser for a pool that's screened in. So low maintenance. Now we have a salt water pool, with pentair variable speed pump, pentair controler panel...

Has anyone familiar with Pentair IntelliCenter know what this err message means? See photo It also shows if I do solar preferred. Does not appear if I select Mastertemp400 heater, only solar

OK. I am pretty frustrated with my equipment (pump-swg), and I am considering starting over. I want my automation to work more smoothly, and I'd like to gain some reliability. What I have: Control: iAqualink 2.0 with the V2 board. Main Pump: A centry V-green pump. I have the V-Green...

Has anyone successfully gotten the iAquaLink 3.0 Controller to read and change the pump speed of a Pentair Superflo VST pump?
