    Review: New Pentair IntelliFlo3 VSF

    Thanks for the review. After 15 years my Intelliflo is not working anymore. I can opt to replace the driver but might go with a new pump Pentair IntelliFlo3 VSF . I will order the one with the optional touchscreen. I wonder if I can use both? The touchscreen and my phone as well. Does...

    IChlor No Power

    Update: measured at the four pin hole points where the SWG connects to the Power Center and it reads 27.8 Pentair telling me that I need to pay for a professional electrician to verify the IChlor is defective. Is this normal?
