    Intelliflo pump stopped working..

    Will do thanks. I think I see the problem, lol.. water definitely worked its way in. Gonna let it air out and see if it helps out but I'm sure something shorted.

    Intelliflo pump stopped working..

    Good point.. I guess I don't have anything to lose by taking keypad off and seeing if I can see anything obvious. I'll do that and take a look, if you happen to know of repair threads would appreciate links, I'll also poke around for them. Thanks, Jason

    Intelliflo pump stopped working..

    Hi Jim - thanks for your help. I checked with multimeter and L1-L2 is 247VAC so seems like it's getting power. I guess there's no fuse on the thing so can't be something that simple. Would I be better off calling someone for a repair (control head maybe?) or is there any self-diagnosis I can...

    Intelliflo pump stopped working..

    My pump seems to be dead. No lights or power of any sort showing up on pump, but my SWG seems to be getting power and panel seems OK. I do see moisture in the display, not sure if water damage or what. What would be basic troubleshooting steps (I think it's 7.5 years old)..

    IntelliPH injector...

    OK, so it works fine even though there's no tube extending into the water stream? Thanks!

    My $25 auto chlorinator DIY project

    Very cool stuff.. Anybody ever play with a solenoid, maybe like this along with just a gravity feed, e.g. put a big old jug or barrel a few feet higher than the pool, some distance away.

    IntelliPH injector...

    Hi, I ordered a new 521510 acid injector valve for my IntelliPH recently and I got a part number that searching, is actually 522513Z though the box actually does say 521510. But I do see the 522513Z used interchangeably as the "acid injector check valve". My concern is there is no tubing, on...

    Cleaning cell when you have an acid injector...

    I have a theory that since I have an Intellichlor that injects acid and it's before the salt cell, I probably don't need to give my IC40 a cleaning/acid bath. Is this reasonable or should I pull it out and clean it? Seems like it's pretty much always getting a pretty good acid bath, even with...

    Doheny's Discovery, S200, Active20, Triton owners club

    Re: Doheny's Discovery, S200, Active20, Triton owners club I was waiting for these to go on sale but then noticed you can get the Nautilus Pro (with "CleverClean") for $659 or maybe even a bit less if you look around, so I ordered one of those. Pretty much same cleaner, right? In fact seems...

    Slight whistle from Pentair IntellFlo

    No, actually I didn't. I think I will start doing that now that you mention it. But the whistling seems to not be caused by that and seems to come more from the back of the pump.

    Slight whistle from Pentair IntellFlo

    Hi - so earlier this year I got the IntelliFlo VS installed and it worked perfectly, quiet, etc... But about 3 weeks ago I've noticed a 'whistling' noise coming from it. Nothing too loud, just kind of a consistent whistle especially audible when it's on a low or medium speed. At high speed the...

    IntelliPH issues...

    I posted this question over on the Pumping Station, but I guess it actually belongs here. Mods, feel free to delete the other thread. So my IntelliPH has been working great but recently (it seems to have happened after I had some backpressure issues which I think I have fixed) the feed tube...

    Return angles

    To me, intuitively, it looks like if you go CC the flow of water would tend to naturally miss the skimmer and be directed towards the top of the pool and then back left. It's not like your middle return can direct the water straight to the skimmer, and the little inlet part of the kidney would...
