    Does The Pentair Intelliflo VSF 3.0 HP Have An Auto Shutoff Feature

    In Maryland, pools are regulated by county. In my county (Howard), the very last regulation says: 3109.5 ENTRAPMENT AVOIDANCE. Suction outlets shall be designed and installed in accordance with ANSI/APSP-7. ANSI/APSP-7 (2020) - ANSI/PHTA/ICC-7 2020 American National Standard for Suction...

    Does The Pentair Intelliflo VSF 3.0 HP Have An Auto Shutoff Feature

    My pool service company. They said they won't even give me a quote for a closing until I have one installed. Other companies have said something similar without specifying the MV Fuse. I talked to Paramount who said installing one will make the pool compliant. But this is the subject for a...

    Does The Pentair Intelliflo VSF 3.0 HP Have An Auto Shutoff Feature

    I've seen this question asked before but not about this pump and no definitive answer. I was wondering if this pump loses prime, will it eventually shut off to prevent damage. The manual says this under Priming Features - Loss Of Prime : Default: Enabled This feature allows the pump to...

    Inherited a Maryland Pool

    Just saw this thread. As you have already found out, you have a Paramount in-Deck Debris Canister. Keep you fingers crossed! I too have a Maryland Pool with this setup. Unfortunately, the canister is cracked at the bottom, which can be patched, and the equalizer line is cracked not far from...

    Hey, Thanks! That's a lot more info than I got from Pentair Customer Service. I had searched the manual and the web for the error code instead of the message.

    Pentair Intelliflo 2 Error Code F90053 - Internal Error

    I called Pentair. They said there was no more info on the error - that there was a problem with the Drive. Since the pump seems to be operating normally, they said a warranty call would not be helpful. I guess I have to wait until it actually breaks down :confused:

    Pentair Intelliflo 2 Error Code F90053 - Internal Error

    This error appears in my log from several weeks ago. I can't find any info on it. Does anyone know what it means? Also it's a bit strange that there are no error codes after that. I have a pressure limit set and I usually get one or two entries per day that it hit the limit, but nothing since...

    Ariel Solar-Breeze Problem

    So....I just got a 2022 model in exchange for the 2021 which had the same problem that GVC had with needing to reset. The new model worked fine for 15 minutes, then it started spinning in place for another 15 minutes then it died. Both LEDs are flashing green about once per second. Here's what...
