@MyAZPool , I’ll add a little more context since reviewing some of your posts provided insight on issues not necessarily related the particular issue in the the thread. My spa fountain was shooting water out of the spa onto the ground around the pool during prime sequence on startup when the...

Good information. Glad to have taken a look. I kinda assumed the reporting was going to be inaccurate and algorithmic but it’s something.

I had a similar issue in my spa. The rebar or rebar tie was likely too close to the surface and is starting to rust. Mine materialized the first time a few months after construction. The pool builder did a localized repair but the issue came back a couple years later. They fixed again at no cost...

It was more for diagnostic and balancing issues. I have a sheer descent and spa fountain and wanted to see how they perform across the range. I won’t be running it a max since it uses so much more energy than a slower speed and doesn’t change the performance of the water features much. I can run...

Summary of Resolution: IntelliCenter has issues when setpoints are a mix of GPM and RPM. Addressed by setting all set points using GPM. The pump on-board pressure limitation was limiting pump speed. The setting is not visible within the IntelliCenter. Addressed putting the IntelliCenter in...

I adjusted the pressure limitation to the maximum, from 30 to 50 psi. The pump will go to the near maximum speed 3437 of 3450 when set for the maximum GPM. It can’t achieve the GPM, operating at 83 GPM of the 134 max. The pump display shows Speed Limit, so I’d think my system has too much...

I have all my other settings in GPM except for the Pump Max which I had in RPM. That could be the issue with this particular feature circuit.

That worked for pump menu access. The settings were the same with the exception of the max GPM which showed up as 140 on the pump and 134 on the IntelliCenter. There is a max pressure set point, currently at 30, that may be contributing to limitations but the pump will go to 3450 during startup...

It would not activate on an existing functional circuit when I put in 3450 RPM. It doesn’t seem to respond when the set point is in RPM instead of GPM at any speed. I took the GPM up to the max setting (134) and the pump was around 3000 RPM. The reported flow was only about 70 GPM. I put the...

I checked that on the IntelliCenter panel and it shows the max at 3450. I was curious if the pump could have been set for a lower speed on its on-board system but it does not appear that I can access that system when the pump is connected to the IntelliCenter (pump display says not used).

I saw that before posting and it looked to be for the web interface. I’m not able to log in to the web interface. It responds that it doesn’t have a record of my email even though that’s what I use for the app login and is the one that shows up on my panel.

I had the equipment listed in the fields but only a few items showed up. I’ve updated the about me section but am not sure if it’s showing up. I have a 3 HP Pentair VSF.

I tried setting up a new feature circuit “Pump Max” and programmed it for the pump maximum RPM of 3450 in the associated feature “Pump Max” in the pump settings. I get no response when enabling the feature. I’ve tried it a various speeds in case I was running up against some pump limitation but...

Jim R: I think setting may have got it solved. Thanks! ajw22: Here are some answers that I know off hand in case it helps somebody else chasings this down. 1. Unsure of the wiring at this time. 2. I was turning spa mode on through the Intellicenter. 3. I was selecting "Off" from the heat source...

I have an Intellicenter running my pool/spa including the Mastertemp heater. If I turn on spa mode and select the heater option "off" the heater will then fire up with the notification/indictor showing the flame on in manual heat mode. It would then run up to the heater face panel max...

The ethernet port on the back of the panel shows one green light and one orange light, both solid, if that adds anything to the conversation.

Thanks for the recommendation, unfortunately no luck. It was already on. Tried turning it off and back on with no change.

Thanks for the resource. You helped me identify the the installers had put the ethernet cable in the wrong, non-POE, port. Unfortunately I'm still having connectivity issues. Now I'm getting a "Unable to connect to Wifi device. Please check the WiFi device is powered, fully booted and the...

I should add that I only found that the ethernet cable was connected to the wrong port because of a previous post on troublefreepools forums that popped up in google. Thanks Pentair IntelliCenter Installation Questions/Issues

Water finally in the pool and had my first dip! Looking pretty good. Started filling yesterday afternoon and was topped off about six this morning (after several checks through the night). Pool technician came out today and added chemicals. Said good for a swim after a couple hours of them...

Inspector no showed today. Had the potential to move my plaster to Wednesday. Hopefully can still get it scheduled if he comes early and I don't need any changes. In the meantime here's that yard cleaned up a bit and the final decking. Doesn't seem like the trowelled will be too slick.

Deck's poured and troweled. Looks like it's going to be slippery but looks good. Gas inspection tomorrow. Clean up tomorrow or Saturday. Shooting for final inspection Monday. Doesn't look like plaster until the next Monday but doing everything I can to get plaster in next week before the 4th.
