You said "again" so I'm assuming you mean what you stated prior. But you are conflating two messages on your display as if they are one and is the source of your confusion. "Pump Address 1" is its own descriptor. You have one pump, so this is correct. "Display Not Active" means the pump is a...

*EDIT* I didn't look at the photo closely at first. You have 011018. These drives are stacked differently. My advice below is less relevant. You can still try pulling the display but you may find the pcb is fractured. Your unit is not really split into two components. I left the original post...

@Mattikuss IntellICenter used to have a dedicated app for automation access. This was merged with the original Pentair Home app which is shown in the manual you are referring to. Both are obsolete and replaced by a homogenization of the two, which maintains the Pentair Home namesake. This is why...

We can't compare them - they aren't at all the same approach to a solution. One removes the material entirely from the pool, the other is another attempt to filter it. The centrifugal pre-filters will only remove heavy particulate like granular sand. If you have finer silt and other light...

+1 on the algae test. Food for thought; what if you simply installed a 3-way between your pump and filter and vacuumed to waste at the start of the season? Ideally none of that junk goes through any filter. I'd invest in that $80 valve and a new VSP instead of a sand filter if it was me...

Going to be the 3rd harmony in this choir... Sand filter isn't an upgrade. CV580 would be an upgrade. Sand filters are dissimilar enough from your carts, you will want to do some more reading before you consider making the switch. They come with a different set of maintenance needs - and the...

E05 is almost always the SFS. Are you sure the spade isn't crooked/missed the female terminal? You say you're pressing pins into the harness. There are numerous that connect to the pcb. When reading I assume you are reffering to the display, but that would be reversed. The board is male and...

Noise is pretty common for any/all spillways. The volume varies across pools and with the amount of spillover. Are you saying it was quiet before? As far as how it looks - generally builders will create a faux skimmer (entirely different design) or place a decorative grate in front of the...

I would still upgrade. Easytouch is legacy now. The indoor controllers were from a different era, designed as a "remote" for the pool systems before mobile phones. They are arguably even useful of late with the finally-improved apps Pentair has released. It's nice to have the "controller" with...

It's normal to oversize the cover just slightly, as it needs to rest on the water for support. Undertrack covers require very little slack since the water is only inches away. It's the deck-mounted covers that are up to a foot larger than the width of the pool to account for the drop. Yours does...

Large format tile. Looks to be around .5" thick. Difficult to tell what type. Could be textured porcelain.

My experience is the same. It's normal. We never even think twice when pumps do it. I can't even say for sure how often we see it, it's that often. No more failures than any other circumstance. Pumps on an IFCS bounce like that sometimes too with a zone change. It's sort of like water hammer...

I'm too late to the party. The link expired.

With the rebate Pentair has right now, upgrading the equip is cheaper than adding old tech. It's a absolute no-brainer. The rebate just started Mar 15th and lasts all year. #522048 is the one you're after. There are conditions however, so you're best off having a pool team do it. It has to be...

All of the time. It's like a sickness. Speaking of. We cater especially to nightly rentals so Spring Break parties are all we've been able to think about for 2 weeks, with 2 more left to endure. And the answer to the pondering is: you don't want to know.

We like Magic Lube. But we also use a fair bit of the pentair OE silicone. Just enough to grease it all the way around on the o-ring. Both lubes are viscous like petroleum jelly, but don't use petroleum on rubber - it breaks it down. You may already know that though. I've had to get my...

It's a snug fit. You need a liberal layer of silicone and a lot of downward force. Sometimes gently twisting/rocking seems to help. Noticed manufacturing date is almost 2.5yrs ago on that one; was that an online purchase?

@delvarela before you go following our advice: did you remove a breaker? Or just add another for the heater? Why not just bypass the failed switch using the old wires already in the box? Why run a new source breaker? I see a 15 & 20amp tandem. The heater can be on the same breaker as your pump...

+1 It seems you replaced a double-pole tandem breaker that was on the left side, with a dual single-pole on the bottom right side. These do not work the same way. You need a hot from the other side of the bus and a common trip for proper 240v, which can only be done using a tandem breaker...

Unless it was previously registered or has had warranty work done, you don't have it and can't get it. But you do have the drive information. The drive is the square component on top of your motor. It's the "brain" of your motor and that is the part of the pump that communicates with your...

Stumbled on this old thread and figured it's worth clarifying for anyone reading: the firmware versions need to be updated by a field tech or warranty center. Proprietary software and a rs-485 dongle is required onsite to reflash them.

The serial on the pump is technically less important than the model and firmware on the drive. You do have that, so you can provide that to Pentair.

If your pool is uncovered, having a suction vacuum will dramatically improve the cleanliness of the floor of your pool. Without a floor cleaner, you'll end up having to manually vacuum your pool to capture debris that sinks to the bottom. And you'll need to use the skimmer line to do so...

Don't steal water from your filter pump. Bear in mind your PB is not going to be servicing your pool after it's done. He is not held to continual motivation that it works as well as it can or should. We've seen it done on the consolidate section (after all intakes) many times and have perpetual...

You've actually photographed your pump. It's understandably confusing given that yours comes as a kit with the sand filter sharing a base. To confirm, the leak you suspect is from the white star-buttressed plug? If so, there is an o-ring on drain plugs. That oring is likely cracked or...

Is your pressure gauge PSI or BAR? 3 bar is like 40psi. It is unusual to have a reading that low when you don't have a VSP. I'm also assuming it's pressurizing properly and your impeller isn't slipping. That said, it's not likely to be an issue unless the gauge is faulty. In which case you...

@Newdude you were the exception to my earlier statement. I judged you and hit you with the mallet. :twisted: I legitimately don't condemn debt for or from others, or folks that use it. Not only because that's shallow, but because I recognize it can be useful. I was more interested in...

011075. The only other variations provide a screen and/or the IO which you don't benefit from based on description.
