I'm closing up my pool and I'm trying to see how to blow out the equipment. I can blow out the returns when I remove my SWG. I blow out the skimmer by putting the blower in the suction side of the pump. But I need to get the equipment and lines in the middle. Can I set my multiport to...

Thank you! As this is already installed I know it's going to be a battle. The quote item description reads 3HP, but the pn is 011067 and they installed 011065! It's all over the place.

I had a Pentair Intelliflo 3HP VS pump (011018) that died. I got the original pool builder to replace it but they replaced it with a Intelliflo 3 VSP 011065, which is 1.5 THP. Are these pumps the same performance wise? I don't know if after 10 years technology has changed and 1.5 THP is now the...

Found it! It's 011018. Power is to the unit across the lines. I'm having a few companies quote a replacement. It might be nice to have a touchscreen and intelligence (if that is any good)

Model: Pentair IntelliFlo VS - Main label shows 354605.E and labels on pump house353114.E Possibly 9 years old. I believe the pool was built in 2015 Not under warranty

I went to open my pool today and ran into an issue with my Intelliflo VS pump. I got everything ready to turn it on. Put all the plugs in, filled the basket with water, and then flipped the breaker on. It took a couple of seconds to turn on, but once it did it said ALARM for a few seconds and...

Ah this makes sense now! I've really only done outlets, switches and lighting in my home so now I see how 240V is different. It makes sense why the wires are Red and Black instead of Black and White, as both are "hot". I find electrical fascinating, I should really see if there are part time...

I'm replacing the mechanical timer for my pool equipment. The replacement model is a Tork 1109A-O. I have attached the below wiring diagrams. I have my line and then will have two loads from the timer. Load A: VS Pump. I want this to always be on. The pump has a schedule set in the control...

Right manual said no plugs, not even to lift the cover. I'll see if my unions can be disconnected and attached the blower to there.

Awesome thank you! I should have said my concern is that there is no drain with my heat pump. Filter drain has been pulled and opened and cleaned out.

I'm trying to make sure that all my equip lines are blown out. I have a Cyclone blower. I blew down the suctions lines for the skimmer and main drain by inserting the blower into the skimmer basket. I then blew down the return lines after my SWG to get the jets done. Where should I hook my...

I figire this might be worth a shot. It is water related after all. Anyone know what model this is? I found a label with the Pentaid logo
