    New pump installation and costs - Intelliflo

    I have the iAqualink for use with my smartphone. Not sure of firmware as I'm at work but i'll check this weekend. One reviewer on Amazon said the Intellicom 2 was pointless with iAqualink. Edit: repair quote was for Intelliflo 2 VST pump, not VSF

    New pump installation and costs - Intelliflo

    I was quoted $1260 from my pool maintenance co for a new Pentair Intelliflo 2 VST pump installed (trade industry install with 3 yr warranty). I currently have a single speed Pentair pump. They also quoted $310 for Pentair Intellicom 2 installed. I currently have the Jandy IAqualink system of...

    Mastertemp 400 Heat Exchanger replacement

    The heater will run for a few minutes and then shut off. The exhaust feels VERY hot. I tried holding the buttons down to read the exhaust temp but it read nothing. I also tested the SFS sensor with a multimeter prior to replacing it and could not get a reading so I assumed it was bad. After...

    Mastertemp 400 - SFS error

    I had a tech look at it. He thinks its sooted up also. I found the coil assembly online for around $600. Looks like I'll just replace it.

    Mastertemp 400 Heat Exchanger replacement

    I found a video that should work. Its for a Sta-rite heater so the case is different but I think the guts are the same as the Pentair Mastertemp. Doesn't look too difficult. There's a Part 1 and Part 2 videos. I think I will choose to replace the coil assembly rather than just clean it since I...

    Mastertemp 400 Heat Exchanger replacement

    BTW, that price above is ridiculous lol. Sunplay has it for a little over half that price http://www.sunplay.com/pentair-mastertemp-tube-sheet-coil-77707-0234 The cupro-nickel one would be a few hundred dollars more.

    Mastertemp 400 Heat Exchanger replacement

    The heater was put into service in 2008. I replaced the top cover and motherboard about 5 years ago, and recently replaced the thermostat, SFS, and thermistor (about $150 total). I feel those are the most commonly replaced parts so if I can replace the heat exchanger without much problem I...

    Mastertemp 400 Heat Exchanger replacement

    Problem with my Pentair Mastertemp 400 NG heater. It will fire up but only run for a few minutes before shutting down, and Service Heater light comes on. The SFS led is lit. I've replaced the stack flue sensor, the thermostat, and the thermistor. Finally got a pool technician to look at it and...

    Mastertemp 400 - SFS error

    I'm having trouble with my Mastertemp 400 also, same problem as this one. I don't get an error code, the heater just turns off after running for 3-4 minutes and the SFS led lights up. I've replaced the thermal regulator and stack flue sensor and I'm still having the problem. The heater was...

    Whisperflo pump won't start

    I replaced the motor with a refurb unit from a local pool motor repair shop. Installed it, wired it up, and It won't power up. I have a few breakers in the sub panel for the pump and pool light and a few outlets, all of which test ok at the terminal screws with the multimeter except for the...

    Whisperflo pump won't start

    Well I got a multimeter and tested the capacitor on top of the pump and it tested fine. I even to it to an electric motor repair shop and they tested it too. I also tested the breaker and thought the breaker was bad so I replaced it. I installed the new breaker and it still would not work. I...

    Whisperflo pump won't start

    A couple weeks ago I replaced the seal plate gasket on my Pentair Whisperflo 1.5 hp pump to fix a leak. It no longer leaked and ran fine for a week or two before I noticed it was not running and the breaker was tripped. Never had an issue with the pump other than this recent leak. Pump is from...

    Pump runs but no pressure

    I have a 6 year old Whisperflo 1.5hp pump. Today I noticed the pump was on and running (sounded quiet and normal) but there was no flow. Small amount of water in the pump basket. Removed cover and checked impeller, it rotates freely. Nothing looks out of the ordinary with the pump. Pool has been...

    Jandy colors pool light not working and iAqualink vs Autelis

    Well the Jandy light started working last night at dusk. I was out hosing the deck off and noticed the light was on. However, it would not respond to requests to change color, nor could I get it to turn off/on. Using the iAqualink, when I tried changing the color, the aqualink RS PCB was doing...
