    Is my Pentair Intellivalve Actuator broken?

    Hi all. Just an update, as it happened again. This time, I was told the actuators are discontinued and received ones without all the light (just a switch) working fine so far.

    Pentair Intelliflo VSF not turning on

    Howdy, I have a very similar problem and with a 3.03 firmware. Could you recommend a means to update the firmware? I did not find a way to do it (yet) Thanks.

    Is my Pentair Intellivalve Actuator broken?

    Hi all. I called Pentair who then sent a Pool technician out. The tech said that this flashing light & steady service light means that the actuator has an electronic fault. So yes, it's broken. And in my case, it was replaced as it was still under warranty.

    Is my Pentair Intellivalve Actuator broken?

    I am also having the same issue. I’m going to call Pentair as I cannot find any troubleshooting codes on this. In meantime, did y’all find out what may be this issue? Or is it just broken? Thanks

    Turning on water feature (with a separate VSF pump) toggles the actuators for the other VSF pump

    One follow-up question... Why are there 7 or so AUX circuits to setup in AUX circuits? (They seem to match up with the number for plugin on the board) Are they related? FYI, Most of the other circuits I have are here too, like the lights, blower... Should they also be "feature" circuits or...

    Turning on water feature (with a separate VSF pump) toggles the actuators for the other VSF pump

    Hi all! The issue was resolved, but it was a different issue. First I checked the setup and the actuators were in the right spots, and then I went ahead created a new circuit for the water feature. In so doing, I had two options, one for "generic" and another for "spillway"... For some reason...

    Turning on water feature (with a separate VSF pump) toggles the actuators for the other VSF pump

    Thanks all. Yes, we have it in "AUX" vs. a separate feature. We'll see if the helps and walk through some of the other ideas. I'm impressed. Stay tuned!

    Turning on water feature (with a separate VSF pump) toggles the actuators for the other VSF pump

    Thanks for the fast reply. I checked the RS-485 address from the Intellicenter panel, and one is set to 1, the other 2. I've attached a couple photos. They seem to be set correctly (but I'm learning). Note: I failed to mention that when they were first ran last week, all worked as planned...

    Turning on water feature (with a separate VSF pump) toggles the actuators for the other VSF pump

    Hi all! This is my first post, and I'm a complete newbie on pools, but I am enjoying reading these posts, and look forward to learning and helping more in the future. Today my pool installer and I encountered an interesting issue on my new pool/spa. He'll call Pentair on Monday, but I thought...
