Just got an Over Power Alarm on my Pentair Intelliflo and it won't start. Is there any troubleshooting I can do or I need to call a pentair engineer out ?
Pentair Intelliflo Over Power Alarm

Ron,
The first thing to do is reset any breakers in the power line going to the pump.
Then use a voltmeter and measure the AC input right where the AC connects to the pump. Make sure you have about 240 Volts AC between the two hot wires. (L1 and L2) Do not measure L1 to ground then then L2 to ground as this can give you a false reading.
If you have 240 Volts AC going into the pump and the pump will not run, then it is time to call the Pentair tech. (I assume this is a standalone pump that is not being controlled by an automation system..)
Thanks,
Jim R.

What's the exact message, is it "over current" or "over voltage"?
+1. Over current (if applicable) is something we've seen for years when a pipe or impeller clog makes the pump run hot. Or also a drive failure.

New Intelliflo VS - "over current" alarm - glitch or more serious problem?
I turned off my pump (Intelliflo VS) to check something, and when I turned it back on a minute later, it immediately gave me an "over current" alarm. The little red light blinked for 20 seconds, then the pump restarted automatically and ran normally. The pump is brand new (only a couple weeks...

Thanks. Yes, its a standalone pump. I reset the breakers and that didn't help. I think the voltmeter suggestion is beyond my capabilities so I have got an engineer coming out next Thursday.
