Thanks for this info, James. I don't believe there is a way to run my pump in RPM mode under my i9 automation system, but this could be handy for testing.

Oh yeah, this is an obsolete model 011012 from Mar2011. I was searching the manual for an RPM mode, but I don't see anything.

I have had this VF pump for a long time and am very familiar with specs it reports at various settings. In my setup, at a 35 GPM setting, the power consumption is always around 490-ish with a clean filter. As the filter gets dirty, the consumption will increase to maintain the flowrate...

Thanks for the response, Jim. In this case, the observed flowrate at the returns was reduced because the pump motor was barely running, ~140 watts instead of 475-500. Also, I did a complete filter service only 2 months ago. As this is a variable flow pump, I'm not aware of an option to run...

My variable flow pump seems to be incorrectly reporting the flowrate in ScreenLogic after a few minutes of operation. When I first start the pump, it shows a normal ~450-500 watts, 35 GPM and the spa fountain and tanning ledge returns are bubbling normally. However, after a few minutes, the...

Well, I finally resolved my IC40 Chlorinator communication issue! I debated between rolling the dice on a new IC40 (now 8 years old, but still functioning just fine with the IC40 panel controls) or a replacement Surge card. The Surge card was the cheaper guess/attempt, though I felt a less...

Do you think the #521593 is a drop-in replacement for my #521091?

Thanks Jim. I'm out of warranty. This system has been working together for about 8 years. I'm considering trying to replace the surge card, but I'm not sure what I need. Mine is #521091 and looks quite a bit more complex than the surge cards I see available. Will the #521593 or #521218...

I was skeptical when Pentair tech support suggested replacing the IC-40 flow sensor since the unit seems to function properly in a stand-alone mode (detecting flow, measuring salinity, and producing chlorine), but I went ahead and replaced the flow sensor anyway. No improvement - the IC-40...

Well, as I said, it surely makes sense to me that the output percentage be taken into consideration to calculate Cell hours, but the Pentair "expert" said I had that wrong. I asked twice to ensure there was no misunderstanding. Sounds like they may have given me bad info.

I called Pentair. First I spoke with an Automation guy, who had me move Comm connections around to troubleshoot the cable. I had already done this over the weekend, and also done continuity tests across all the Comm terminals. Comm ports seem fine. Next, I spoke with an IntelliChlor person...

HI Jim, Yes, the IC-40 is enabled on the Screenlogic configuration. The IC-40 is about 7 years old. I take it inside every year when not in use. My surge card (how does it get that name?) wiring doesn't look disturbed. I am the only one who's been inside the load center since installation. I...

Jim, Thank for the responses. Yes, I have an IntelliFlo Variable Flow. It says Display Not Active, as expected, since IntelliTouch is in the normal "auto" mode, not "service" or "time out." Everything else about the installation is working normally. This system is about 7 years old. Also, I...
