    Not sure - sorry.

    Dolphin Active 40 vs Active 60 - Pickup Mode?

    I've read that too about the filter indicator. But like I say - if it's actually signaling low water flow then that might be a good thing, even if the filter isn't really full.

    Dolphin Active 40 vs Active 60 - Pickup Mode?

    Too soon to tell - I've literally only run it twice. Haven't seen it "mount" my steps or shelf yet - but then I've not been watching it that closely either. One thing I noted was that on the first run the "filter full" indicator came on but the filter basket was only about 20% full. I think...

    Dolphin Active 40 vs Active 60 - Pickup Mode?

    I can't answer the question about the shelf - but I don't think the Active 40 makes sense for what you get vs the Active 30. Having been thoroughly confused by the Dolphin lineup (I'm certain that's what Maytronics intended), I finally found this great YouTube video which breaks down the...

    Maytronics Dolphin Rebate Codes for 2023?

    I just bought a fancy new Dolphin robot and I heard there was a rebate on it. I spoke with our favorite Dolphin person at our favorite Dolphin store and she told me to look online. I've found details of two current promotions on Dolphin robots: Dolphin Days of Summer (April 1 to July 31, 2023)...

    IntelliConnect Operating Problems

    Also I was looking again at your photos and I just noticed that the screen on the pump is not showing the pump address. This is what mine looks like: So my guess would be a comms error. I think things I'd check would be... 1. Check that the Pump Address is set on the pump (Menu, Settings...

    IntelliConnect Operating Problems

    With everything connected did you / could you try pushing: - the start stop bottom on the pump - program 1 button on the pump - program 1 "run now" in the app (if available) So it seems that the problem must lie in: - app settings - pump settings - ic40 settings (I'm not familiar) Have you...

    IntelliConnect Operating Problems

    Jim, I would have thought that too... But with no documentation it's hard to be sure. And I do think you CAN set programs through the app - but only for RPM. Right now if I set an RPM in the app, whatever I choose (the lowest being 450) then the pump program will change to 140 GPM (which I...

    IntelliConnect Operating Problems

    Couple of thoughts: First, I believe that the enabled toggle in the app just tells you whether the pump is running - NOT whether control is enabled. So if there is no program that should be running (you're outside of your scheduled hours) then the app will say disabled. EDIT: Ok I see that the...

    IntelliConnect Operating Problems

    At least on mine the start/stop button on the pump still works even when the IntelliConnect is connected and the screen is not active. As do the program buttons 1-4. If you disconnect the communication wire to regain control, does program 1 in the pump reflect what you have in the app?

    IntelliConnect Operating Problems

    What programs do you have set in the pump? What happens if you hit the start button on the pump itself? Also - looks like you're controlling two separate devices. What's the second device? Is it on a different # address?

    IntelliConnect Operating Problems

    I'm intrigued... If you take that argument to its logical conclusion then why bother at all with the pump and all associated plumbing? Are you saying that one could just use a pole and net for anything floating on the surface, a robot for anything on the bottom and chemicals to get anything in...

    IntelliConnect Operating Problems

    Ok well after a lot of trial and error (and intermittent wailing and gnashing of teeth), I THINK I've got this thing figured out - or at least my understanding now is substantially different to what it was a few hours ago. For any other members having difficulty (panic_button?) here's what I've...

    IntelliConnect Operating Problems

    Jim, Thanks for taking the time to respond and for your generous offer of help. I mean that. Let me be clear... My goal is to get things working, nothing more. But when frustrated, it's human nature to vent. I make no apology for that (unless a few sarky comments are in violation of board...

    IntelliConnect Operating Problems

    Oh I see. Mine "works" but without any intelligence - i.e. the pump is either on at full speed or it's off. It's more DumbConnect than IntelliConnect IMHO. Like you - I have the thing disconnected and the pump works independently like it should - just like it did all last season. If only I...

    IntelliConnect Operating Problems

    Thanks for the response. Couple of questions: - Did you disable the regular programs on the pump (not sure if this needs to be done)? - Did you enable the Ext Control programs on the pump (again, I'm not sure if this needs to be done)? When I go into the app - the 4 programs initially say 60...

    IntelliConnect Operating Problems

    I just got off the phone with a Pentair rep who was TERRIBLE. I had no idea this was such a shoddy company, So I explained the pump problem to him. He confirmed that it should be able to do what I intended (control the flow rate). He then asked me for my user login AND PASSWORD for the Home...

    IntelliConnect Operating Problems

    I've scoured the VSF user manual and it states: "Refer to the automation system manual for further details on how to connect and use the system with your variable speed pump." Does anybody know of an owner's manual for the IntelliConnect (not the installation manual)?

    IntelliConnect Operating Problems

    I just got my IntelliConenct installed and commissioned - using the Pentair Home app. After some initial Wi-Fi issues (which seem to ironed out) things seem to be at least communicating. Here's the setup: - Data connection to Pentair VSF pump - Relay 1 to Polaris pump - Relay 2 to Pentair...
