So I cleaned the filter element today and it had tons of Dt on it. So despite all the back washing, the dt remained in mass. It was also caked in yellow mater. I have been having a phosphate issue and have been trying to use the phosphate remover as well. I have attached a photo, after about...

Hi, I have been having issues with my sta-rite de cartridge filter. First, I lose water pressure throughout the day and filter pressure grows. I backwash for 30 or so seconds, rinse and then turn it back on, with great water pressure and lower filter pressure. Then 1 hour later, its back to...

Taking another look at your previous comment. Your correct that its wired with the relays. So its wired incorrectly, per your advice. However, why does Pentair put these relays in the PL4, if your not supposed to use them? I guess that will need to be fixed. This would answer part of the...

I tried switching mode and nothing. Can I just replace the drive unit on the pump? It's 2 years old?

According to the Intelliflo manual. When the unit is under "comm control", it should say "Dispaly not active". However, I am able to turn the pump on and off via the PL4 and yet the display still wont change from the state described above. Any thoughts on how to hard reset a Intelliflo VS...

Multi meter is dead and its 11:30 pm... I belive the kids might have been playing with it. Why can't it ever be easy?

The pump power is not hardwired into the PL4. It has its own 3 prong 220v plug. The plug is on its own breaker. The comms are just connected (Green and Yellow) to the comm port in the PL4. Maybe it is how I set it up. In the interim, any insight into why the pump buttons are 100%...

Hi, So no good deed goes unpunished! You let someone use your house for a week while on vacation and you come back to everything not working. The major issue is the pool hasn't been running for days!. I have an Intelliflo VS connected to an Easy Touch PL4. I have never had an issue with...

I am not sure I would get hung up on hp. I have the following pump. It has four speeds preset and then a largely infinite number of speeds with a system controller, where you can set the rpm. Being as your in SD, do you have a heater? Even better. Based on what I can see, these variable speed...

I had one of these, roughly the same vintage based on the looks of things and had the same issue. I would bet it's the filter element. Likely torn very slightly in a spot difficult to see, but easy enough for dt to pass through. My ex pool guy made up all sorts of garbage, sand, excess...

Hi, Just wanted to check and see what operating pressure people have with their S7MD60, post clean and new de? Also, what speed do you keep you pump? Thank you

I just installed a S7MD60. So far, so good.

Thanks you for the response. Not what I wanted to hear! The other difference is that the pictures have it such that the in / out and backwash ports on the valve are on the opposite sides. 200 vs 300. Forcing me to redo all my piping to accommodate the new filter? Is that accurate? Thank you

So I purchased a sta-rite S7MD60. I was told that a 18201-0200 would work. However, I am now reading in the manual that I need a 18201-0300. Their both 2" and the 0200 seems to fit perfectly.
