    Intellivalve Screw Specs ?

    Yes, pictures from both TurboTon and ajw22 look shorter than the 2 1/4" listed in the manual. The manual write must have mismeasured. Weird. Thanks for replying

    Intellivalve Screw Specs ?

    Page 7 of Intellivalve manual says: "Mount the IntelliValve valve actuator onto the valve assembly and secure it with the four 2¼ inch mounting screws provided. See Figure 5 and Figure 6."

    Intellivalve Screw Specs ?

    Meanwhile I found this from 16 year old thread. "Through much internet searching I have discovered that the screws needed are a 1/4-14 thread forming pan head stainless steel 1-1/2 inch screw. Nobody that I can find seems to sell that precise screw. McMaster.com has the right thread, length...

    Intellivalve Screw Specs ?

    Yes aware they come with Intellivalve. I had them, PB removed, and they may be lost. Thus, I wonder when I can get some. Thanks,

    Intellivalve Screw Specs ?

    The older CVA-24 Pentair actuators use four 1 1/2 inch screws. Intellivalve uses four 2 1/4 inch screws. Anyone know of where four longer intellivalve screws might be available? EDIT: (I'm having trouble figuring out specs for McMaster-Carr.) Thanks, Jeff

    Pentair Intellicenter firmware 3.002

    My Pentair Pool app started saying: "Automatic Firmware Updates Coming Soon" "A new opt-in feature for automatic firmware updates is coming soon."

    IntelliCenter Firmware 2.026

    I talked with Pentair a couple weeks ago, and the guy said 2.026 would be available OTA on Jan 31. Checked my Intellicenter today, (Jan 23) and it still says I have the latest, 1.064.

    Intellicenter - Solar Valve won't work in Spa Mode

    The wire connects to a temperature sensor that the PB installed up near the solar panels a few months ago. But the wire has been there for several years, I can tell because the house was painted 5 years ago, and the wire was painted to match the house color.

    Intellicenter - Solar Valve won't work in Spa Mode

    The PB did run a wire from the intellicenter over and up about 5 feet to the existing wire. How do I know the existing wire? It was painted the color of the house about 3 years ago. I'm just wondering why there was an existing wire. It had been there for years, with no known solar controls.

    Intellicenter - Solar Valve won't work in Spa Mode

    Would the the 25 year old solar panels have a wire and a temperature sensor, even though there was no automation of them that I know of. At least no automation was there for solar when I arrived 7 years ago.

    Intellicenter - Solar Valve won't work in Spa Mode

    Pool Builder stopped by. He had spliced in a new control wire about 5 foot high where the existing wire went up to the solar panels. One of the two wires was making a loose connection. (I have not idea why there was a wire, there was no existing solar controls that I know of.) But in in any...

    Intellicenter - Solar Valve won't work in Spa Mode

    GMTA, Great Minds Think Alike. I was just about to check that, swap the air temp and solar temp sensor wires. Stay tuned. Swapped wires for AIr and Solar sensors and problem moved. So the solar sensor is bad. Thanks

    Intellicenter - Solar Valve won't work in Spa Mode

    I don't have a 10K ohm resistor. (If there was a Radio Shack any more I would try that, but don't know where to get one.) But I too think it may be an intermintent solar temp sensor. Or if temp sensor is good, maybe the Intellicenter board is intermittent. Early today with airtemp less then 50...

    Intellicenter - Solar Valve won't work in Spa Mode

    Not sure I totally usnderstand what you are asking, but the solar sensor is up on the solar panel, at the top I think. I remember the PB placing it up there when Intellicenter was installed a few months ago. May know more later today after pool builder stops by today.
