Pentair Valve Actuator Acting Reversed

I have the Pentair Intellicenter, and noticed this year when opening the pool the Pentair Laminar Deck Jets were turning on even though I didn't have that feature activated. When looking at the IntelliValve the programming looks to have switched on me. How do I adjust it so the when the Laminar feature is "off" in the Intellicenter that the valve is set to run the pool jets? I've been reading a bit, and not finding the answer. I tried changing the set modes on the IntelliValve, but that didn't seem to work. Temporarily I've been just putting it in service and manually moving it, lol.

Sounds like you need to change the home position.

When in auto mode press the red arrow and yellow arrow button simultaneously. The valve will rotate to the other endpoint and be the new home position. Factory default is 0. Doing the procedure will change it to 24. If custom endpoints have been setup, it will toggle between the two custom endpoints.

Welp, I feel stupid -- lol. Thank you

I should of read the top part of the valve instructions.

Don’t lol…..try remembering toggle switch positions for 30 accounts on spring startup….then technology is better so no more toggles. It’s the first move you make when the valves act squirrelly upon opening.
