    Pentair Ultratemp Challenges

    I likely need to simply replace my Ultratemp as it’s been a PITA, but I digress. After replacing the membrane keypad and motor, our heat pump is starting, however every five minutes or so there is a loud noise from the heat pump and the electrical draw goes way up. I suspect the compressor but...

    IntelliConnect review/warnings - Seeking an alternative

    Here's some good news: Pentair is moving from the L20 app to the Pentair Home app for Intelliconnect functionality. Pentair Home is a native app, vs. L20 which is a web-based app. I'm going to be on the TestFlight (beta) of the iOS version. I'll share more when I can!

    IntelliConnect review/warnings - Seeking an alternative

    I’d be curious if anyone has identified how to control the Intelliconnect directly; I’ve located the cloud APIs but if the site is down, they are down. Would be awesome to be able to send some basic commands to the Intelliconnect itself.

    IntelliConnect review/warnings - Seeking an alternative

    They plan to move app functionality into the Pentair Home app which is native and looks light years better. I’ll share feedback tomorrow.

    IntelliConnect review/warnings - Seeking an alternative

    I have been having issues with the server as well. It’s been effectively down all weekend. Very disappointing as I just installed this. I’ve reached out to their CEO, and am in touch with their IoT lead and leadership. I’ll share any feedback.

    Pentair Intelliconnect with UltraTemp heat pump

    @ajw22 correct! Fortunately I had spade connectors in my toolbox. I keep everything. I'm all up and running. Now all I need is a modern app, and an API. Sigh.

    Pentair Intelliconnect with UltraTemp heat pump

    TLDR; use the POOL and COM ports via spade connectors The IntelliConnect has two two-pair RS485 connectors (For the IntelliFlo VS pump and IntelliChlor salt cell), and then it has a two-pair connector for "temp," and a two-pair connector for "Heater". That said, and to your point, only the...

    Pentair Intelliconnect with UltraTemp heat pump

    For what its worth I was told to connect with 1/4 in spade connectors on the SPA and COM ports. I’ll try that.

    Pentair Intelliconnect with UltraTemp heat pump

    I am curious about the wiring for this. I used the Green/Yellow ports on the RS428 four port connector behind the UltraTemp control panel. Are these the correct points to connect to? Thanks!

    Scaling on pool after opening

    Thanks, the current company maintains the pool on a weekly basis. They have a sheet outside where they record their numbers. I'll post a copy of it.

    Scaling on pool after opening

    For the first time in 11 years, and with a new pool service, when we opened the water was a dark green. While the company we used returned the pool to an acceptable state, we have brownish/green scaling on the plaster. That did not exist last year. I’m attaching pictures which show the...
