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.

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. 🤣

The industry seems interesting. I've helped a few neighbors with their pools and other thing already because many of them have don't have any handyman skills.

Like many other sectors of the workforce, there is a shortage of manpower. Even worse there is a shortage of good people that care, have an understanding to do things right, and will do it right every time. Too many “techs” I’ve followed the work of are hacks sadly.
 
Yup. Same in the vending machine repair and garage door repair industries I have worked in. I think us good troubleshooters and common sense thinkers hang out here. I enjoy reading all of the knowledge spilled out on these pages. I can only hope to have that knowledge in a tech should I have to call one.
