    Intelliflo not priming all the way

    Looks like the new OEM valves on both intake and outtake fixed the issue. Thanks!

    Intelliflo not priming all the way

    Allen, Here are the pics. Let me know if you need to see another view. I had changed out the valves about a year ago. I usually change them every 3 to 4 years. I went back to the invoice and I realized that I hadn't bought oem pentair valves. I've ordered new valves. I'd like to completely...

    Intelliflo not priming all the way

    Hi Allan, Thanks for responding. I got a little busy. Here's the model Pentair 011018 IntelliFlo Variable Speed High Performance Pool Pump, 3 Horsepower, It's worked great for 6 years. The base of the pump is at the pool waterline. I use my phone to switch to the spa. The system is...

    Intelliflo not priming all the way

    Mark, Thanks for responding to me. I wanted to try a few things, but still having the same issue. I made a typo and the rpm should be 2500 for the pool and 2800 for spa. It's always been the same for the last 20 years. The pressure is 20 psi before the filter is cleaned and usually drops...

    Intelliflo not priming all the way

    I've had my pool-spa for 20+ years. I use the spa almost every night. I switched over to an intelliflo pump, controller 5 years ago. It's worked great except for the alexa function that disengages for some reason after it's added as a skill. In the last 6 months, the pump will sometimes...

    Black Algae - Pebble Tec Pools

    I had redone my pool about 10 years ago and gone with a small pebble tec finish that had the longer 30 year guarantee. One of the reason I went with the pebble tec, is because the old pool had black algae when I moved into the house and I thought that the coating would prevent black algae in...

    Pentair filter leaking

    If you have egg type, they have 6 or 8 clamps. You go kriss cross with the clamp tightening. I'm not familiar with other pentair filters.

    Pentair filter leaking

    If it starts leaking again, I've used black ge silicone. I think the filter housing warps after time. I've put on new gaskets and it still leaks with the expensive non petroleum pool lube gasket material. If you need to clean the filter the casing comes right apart. The silicone won't wreck...

    Easytouch Panel not Recognizing Intelliflo Variable Pump

    Thanks Jim and Tom. Really appreciate the help. Being in hi tech and setting up a lot of different devices, the pentair directions leave a lot to be desired. I think setting up a quick set up sheet with typical issues is a great idea - Yes, my pump was set up as pump #7. I'm sure it happened...

    Easytouch Panel not Recognizing Intelliflo Variable Pump

    I'm not able to get an easytouch panel to recognize an intelliflo pump. I've had the pump for 3 years and the pool installers just put in the easy touch panel. They could not get the panel to recognize the pump. I had the installers call pentair and pentair thought I needed to replace the drive...

    Screenlogic not recognizing Inteliflo Variable Pump

    I just purchased a new screenlogic panel and had it connected to my existing inteliflo pump. The screenlogic is not recognizing my pump, No COM - Pump #1 and the display on the pump is lit. I'v chose VS for the pump. Could the installer have connected the cable to the screenlogic board...
