I called both AquaCal and Pentair today. AquaCal guy argued me with me and offered no help or suggestions whatsoever. I hung up on him. Pentair guy was at least somewhat open to discussing the issue, however Pentair's official stance is they do not support the interaction between...

This is what I was afraid of. Thanks for the reply. I'll call AquaCal.

Hello! I found this post again, because all was working well until recently when I tried to run my heater, and I got an error message on my Heat pump that said: ”SMART COMM FAULT” The AquaCal manual says to verify connectivity between your controller and the heater, and I was able to confirm...

Just wanted to say these instructions were super helpful. I just had to wire up a new SQ166 that does heat and chill and it took a few tries to get wiring and com port correct, but once we did that, all worked as described here. Thanks again for putting this together. Jeremy

Hello all - I went on vacation for a couple weeks and while I was gone, the lid on the skimmer basket for the filter pump broke and blew off. This basket is the skimmer for the floor drain in my pool. I believe a bunch of leaves in the deck skimmer clogged the flow of water and caused some...

Just wanted to share an update in case anyone else had a similar issue. Eventually the valve shut off completely and would not operate by pushing buttons or from the control panel. To be sure it was the valve, I moved the connector over to “valve B” connector on the circuit board but that did...

Thanks for your reply ajw. This is the only automatic actuator in my system. I have used a multimeter before and understand that it could be used to determine if power is being sent over a line. I’d need to google some specifics about voltage etc. My equipment was installed just over a year...

Hello! I have an Intellicenter panel connected to an intellivalve on the “Valve A” connection on the control panel. It diverts water to the cleaning system or the water feature in my pool. This valve has worked great for a year, but recently when I turn on the water feature circuit, the...

Thx for sharing. Sounds like 1.05X will be out sometime in September. I’ll be on the lookout. Appreciate the reply!

Hey Jim! Just wanted to come back to say thanks for your help. Sometime in July the pool guys came back and fixed the wiring for the SWCG and now it gets power with the correct main filter pump. Since that issue was corrected everything with the pool is working great. Your replies helped me...

My pool company sent me an email this week saying "IntelliCenter users need to install new firmware by Sept 12th". I'm running version 1.047 which has been out since Sept 2020 and is the version currently available for download on the Pentair website. Wondering if the email meant a new...

Thanks Maddie! I have been taking my water to a local pool place. I don't have a test kit yet. Open to suggestions if you have any!

Hello all! I've recently had a new pool installed and have found several answers to my Intellicenter questions here. Nice to find people who are willing to help when you are stuck on something. My new pool is an 11,000 gallon in-ground gunite salt water pool with an in-floor cleaning system...

One more question @Jimrahbe - is there any point in configuring single speed pumps in the "Pumps" section of intellicenter? I can control both pumps with the configured relays and adding them to the Pumps section seems to have no relevance.

Thanks for your reply Jim. You are correct - both pumps are single speed. You are also correct about the wiring - the installers were confused about which pump is which. The Red relay controls the cleaner pump, the blue relay controls the filter pump. The CP/FP markings on the bottom of the...

Here is a pic of the inside for reference. Pretty sure I just need to move the power lines for the intellichlor from the red marks to the blue marks.

Actually - your post helped. I just opened up the panel and realized the intellichlor is wired to the wrong pump relay. I feel confident that moving the white/yellow wires to the relay for the correct filter pump will resolve the issue. Thanks

I have a new pool (no spa) with a pentair intellicenter system. I have two pumps on separate circuits, one for the main filter and one for an in-floor cleaning system. My intellichlor comes on with the cleaning pump, but this is incorrect because it is in the water line of the filter pump. I...
