The Intellivalve on my intake is not responding in auto mode. Lights are normal (no blinking lights). In Set and Service mode both arrows work to move the valve position. Pressing both buttons will switch the valve between the two set points. When switching between pool and spa, the valve...

I have a 3-way valve with a slow leak from the inside. I only noticed as I drained my heat pump, and this is on the line to the heat pump. The outside of the valve is dry, so it appears it's leaking (slow drip) around the diverter. I've swapped the full divertor and valve from a spare valve and...

I've had my Maytronics M600 for 3 summers and the cable has needed to be replaced twice. Both times I got a notification in the app that it couldn't connect to the robot. The first time, I thought a previous run in with my autocover had caused the damage, so I troubleshot it myself and saw the...

Last year I was having trouble with my pool cover pump (Superior Pump) getting airlocked or clogged with small debris in the airlock port. I upgraded to a 1" hose; the max supported by the pump. I didn't have an issue with airlocking all winter or spring and was also able to drain the pool cover...

Has anyone had luck replacing Micobrite lights under warranty when the lights still work, but the color is just a little off? I just had a light replaced that was failing (wouldn't show white at all) and now that it's been replaced, I can see two other lights are not as white - they are turning...

I have a new slow dripping leak on the inlet side of my heat pump. Heat pump is off and there is an Intellivalve blocking flow to the heatpump, so there is no flow when off. I looked at the fitting and noticed a crack on the pump side of the fitting. HeatPump was installed July 2022. Is it best...

Is anyone aware of a calculator or Excel file that provides a more specific/detailed comparison of heat pump vs heater for a specific scenario? It's my first spring with this pool and with sunny days and spring break next week, I'm looking to heat the pool to a more tolerable temperature. I'd...

I think I know the answer to my question based on fragments of responses to other questions, but I don't see a definitive thread. I've checked the wiki article on Pentair UltraTemp Heat Pumps and it's a little out of date, but it's generally correct. In the most recent Intellicenter firmware...

Has anyone found (or made) a good brush for cleaning an autocover? I plan to use Simple Green as recommended by the cover manufacturer, but I'm looking for a good brush/mop head to use - microfiber or chamois? In late fall I used the pool brush to clean a few really dirty spots and it was very...

I noticed a small leak on the outlet side of my pump. It's a slow leak, even at full pump speed, but it's still leaking. Is it safe/recommended to try and tighten this connection or is there a better approach?

New (~6mo old) Superior Pool Cover pump was acting funny. Would pump during initial rain, but then it would stop and many times it wouldn't restart if there was a break in the rain. Of course, this would happen overnight or during the middle of heavy rains so I'd wake up to a cover full of water...

Is anyone else experiencing issues with notifications with their Coverstar autocover? I have one of the new touchscreen that was installed in Aug 2022. This replaced a touchpad model that wouldn't connect to wifi. Notifications worked for a few months but haven't been working the last couple of...

What would be an expected amount of water loss on a pool with an autocover during the winter months? I naïvely thought it would be 0, but my pool is showing otherwise. I really only noticed because the outline of my recessed spa was showing. I'm assuming it's normal or within reason to lose...

There is a new Intellicenter iOS update available as well. Not much in the release notes, but there are more UI changes. New startup splash screen and more updates to the main UI. This is starting to look really good.

New pool this summer. pH consistently rises each week, takes about 4 cups of MA to bring it back down. I have an autocover - any reason not to continue checking and managing the pH during the winter? We have grand plans to use the spa during the winter, so that's the other reason I was planning...

There is an update for the Intellicenter iOS app. Big change to the UI. I'm already liking the changes. Hoping the session timeout issue is really resolved - I seemed to run into this every time I used the app.

I can't login to Intellicenter2 on the web or via the iOS app. I get errors on the iOS app. I can login via local connection. Anyone else having this issue?

Any tool junkies using the Hyperpole from Ultimate Pool Tools? It's targeted at pool professionals, but that hasn't stopped this group before! :ROFLMAO:

I have a heater bypass set up for my MasterTemp. The valve is tied to the Heater circuit so when heat is called for, water flows to the heater. All is working well. Since I have it set to full bypass to maximize flow to the pool and minimize pump RPMs, I want to schedule a daily flush of the...

I had my pool builder remove the improperly plumbed extra pump and clean up my plumbing. I've been reviewing and tweaking my Intellivalve automation and my Intake/Return valves are confusing me. In both pictures, pool is on the left, spa is on the right. I'm expecting that the default is that...

Is there a way to verify that schedules that run overnight actually run? Are there any logs or history accessible in Intellicenter? I was optimistic that's what was on the History tab in Intellicenter, but nope, they give us temperature plots.

I think I've found a snag in my setup with regards to water sensor location. I have two pumps - one for the pool and one for the spa. The water sensor is on the line from the pool pump to the filter. As I learned last night, this means when the spa is on, I don't get a current spa water temp. Is...

I'm having issues connecting my Coverstar Touchpad to my wifi. I've read through the thread here. I have great wifi reception and I've tried every option but WPS (who even has that anymore?). I noticed while scrolling through the IP Information is says WIFI FW: 0.00. Um, did they forget to...

What's the best way to report Intellicenter bugs? Is there an email or web form? Testing out the chiller on my UltraTemp and the Intellicenter web and app shows a flame when cooling while the panel shows the snowflake. Burned a few minutes checking settings and config in the web portal before I...

Week 2 of the new pool, working to set up circuits and schedules etc. This screen underwhelms me. With my two pump set up, I thought it could be programmed to have the pool pump run the pool and have the spa jet pump run the spa. I can't seem to find a way to do that. All it seems to do is...

I'm curious as to what is considered best practice for refreshing a spa? I've seen two methods described: Spillway mode/circuit - 100% pool intake/ 100% spa return. Typically this is scheduled to run a couple of times a day. Passive or continuous refresh - set the spa return valve to always...

Hi - Long time lurker, first time poster (and pool owner). Our build started in Feb and we put water in the pool last Friday. Pool builder is already commenting how good the water looks! Thanks TFP! My question is about my plumbing set up. I'm not sure it's as efficient or as effective as it...
