I was told the heater, but let me verify. EDIT, a bit of rain right now. So, it may take an hour so so.
What new heater for me?

Members report that the automatic bypass will not "bypass" the heater after the cooldown when the valve is plugged into the heater circuit board. Pentair has been notified of this problem.
Instead, those with an IntelliCenter have moved the bypass valve actuator wire to the IntelliCenter board and tied it into the heater circuit. It bypasses immediately when the IntelliCenter is no longer calling for heat.

It's NOT connected to the heater, as the PB told me this morning. It's connected to the A Valve I think, Solar was connected to B Valve. I think the Intellvalve has the extra green and yellow wires for "future use."

That's what I remember what PB previously told me. And Valve A is the one with the extra green and yellow leads for future. So, I'm sure that Intellivalve is on Valve A, and not in the heater.

I found this note...
Note: Valves A & B and Solar Heating: For Single Body systems, Valve A is used for SOLAR if you choose the Solar Heater. For Dual Body systems, Valve B is used for SOLAR if you choose the Solar Heater.
It looks like you need to swap the actuators and make the heater bypass Valve B so that your Solar valve can be on Valve A.
Then set Valve B circuit to Heater or MasterTemp.

I was thinking of swapping, since valve is is grayed out and I cannot change Valve A from solar. Boy, do I have a lot to chat about with PB. I'm guessing I have only one body of water, even with one pool, and one spa.

Yup.
They rarely read the manuals as they should.
Correct.
Thanks so much, looks like it's working perfect!
One additional thing I added earliter today was setting up a Pump Circuit called Heater so pump would run at a resonable speed for heater.

Is it worth asking the PB to replumb the Heater Bypass Valve? It currenlty is set up on 0, and 7, and works fine. But if it gets set to 24, it blocks the pump flow in. And Pentair has a warning about setting up the valve and stopping the pump flow. Thanks

Plumbing does not need to be changed.
Unscrew the IntelliValve and rotate it 90 degrees so 12 and 24 are at the bypass and heater pipes. Change the settings from 0 and 7 to 12 and 19.

Do I need all three check valves? (see picture attached)
This flow from my filter on the left to up and back down from my solar,thenback to heater and pool.
Check Valve 1 on the bottom left is flow meter.
Check Valve 2 is on inlet to 3-way valve.
Check Valve 3 is the black blob on the solar return.

Thanks

Not sure I can easily label a picture. I tried to identify above.
Check Valve 1 on the bottom left is flow meter.
Check Valve 2 is on inlet to 3-way valve.
Check Valve 3 is the black blob on the solar return.
Check valve 1 is on the inlet to the filter. Check valve 2 is on the outlet of the filter, and up to solar control valve.
