    IntelliFlo Communication Error

    Hi all, This morning, I realised that my IntelliFlo pump wasn't running. I checked the app for my IntelliConnect and saw the pump disabled. I enabled it and all good again. Then I checked my notifications in the app and I see multiple errors, at this time all inactive: Date Time...

    IntelliFlo VSP - leak at bottom

    Hi all, Noticed yesterday that my Intelliflo VSP is leaking from the bottom of the main body - here's a video: I searched around and see most leaks are either to the left or right from where I see mine, so I guess it's a crack of some sort of that main body? If so, probably not something I...

    Pool deck issue - concrete being pushed up

    Hi all, Over the past few months, something is causing the concrete of my pool deck to be pushed up quite badly. This is happening on the side, right in between the posts of the handrail: Earliest picture I have, July 12th: Picture today, July 29th: It seems it may also be cracking one of...

    How to suppress/disable an SLVS?

    Hi all, after (too) many SLAMs over the past 1.5 years I think I have established that the SLVS that's installed on my pool is the culprit... (previous post on the topic, just as background: Pipe in my yard - no idea what it's for) As I'm again going through a SLAM, I've looked again at this...

    Third time's the charm?

    Hi all, after my 2 previous SLAMs over the past 2 months, I'm back at it... My pool was perfect with the SWG keeping the levels at the middle of the optimal range in the CYA/FC table (never dropped below 6.5 for a CYA of 80 - now at 70 after lots of rain). Then, last Saturday afternoon, I put...

    Back to square 1 after previous SLAM

    Hi all, On July 26, I successfully completed a SLAM (see: Small spots of algae causing heavy chlorine consumption?). However, I noticed that my water was again becoming less clear (drop in translucency when the sun hits it) and started measuring overnight loss again - yesterday night, I lost...

    Pipe in my yard - no idea what it's for

    Hi all, Since purchasing my house, I've been wondering about this pipe (capped with an open T): As I'm doing a SLAM at this time (and my water is crystal clear but still something is consuming quite a bit of chlorine), I'm wondering if this could be linked to the issue... Thanks, Bernard.

    Small spots of algae causing heavy chlorine consumption?

    Hi all, I've been seeing quite a bit of chlorine consumption over the past weeks (my pool was a tad milky last week but is crystal clear now) and finally went out to buy a K-2006 kit to do some better measurements (I used the Lamotte ColorQ2 before - I know, in hindsight, that was a stupid...

    Why I believe Pentair IntelliConnect is a pain in the Rear.

    Hi all, My saga of trouble with the Pentair IntelliConnect continues - so I decided to do a write-up of the entire thing... Enjoy :) April 2020: Had Intelliconnect installed (alongside an IntelliFlo pump & iChlor) to replace some old kit that was installed at the home I bought a month...

    Weird issue with Intelliconnect Freeze protection temperature settings

    Hi all, Earlier today, I accessed the Intelliconnect Freeze protection settings to alter the RPMs - when doing so, for some reason, the app reset the start and end temperatures as "NaN"... I cannot change this back since the "dot" on the slider disappeared :mad: And one can't select the...

    Did my pool guys mess up?

    Hi all, First of all, if I posted this in the wrong section, then please by all means move it. I have a local Pinch-a-Penny doing my pool maintenance (chemicals only) and am a bit surprised at what they did yesterday. I have a salt water pool (about 8000 gallons) with a chlorinator (about 1...
