pentair

1960s pool that had a major revamp in the 90s with work done around 2021 as well. Pool is working, but I want to improve efficiency and gain greater control. Additionally more consistent warm temps versus turning on the propane heater is driving the desire for a heat pump. Please provide any...

I inherited a sand filter and when i went into replace the sand the whole lateral assembly came up and i cannot detach the multiport from the white pipe previous installed must not have lubed it can i remove or detach or fold the laterals and take it out ? can i tap the multiport off the...

Hello everyone! This is my first post here and also my first time being a pool owner. We just finished construction about a month ago on a pool and spa combo (salt water). I am unsure how these valves are supposed to face but I know I have had issues dealing with the spa draining before and...

I had to replace the cell but whoever first installed it had the union joints flush against the pad so it is impossible to tighten or loosen by hand. Also, the fittings leak unless you over torque them with channel locks. The installer must have had the same issue because he used thread...

I have a pool with an attached spa/hot tub and the system runs on the Pentair EasyTouch panel and I can control everything from the ScreenLogic app on my phone as well. This has been working great but when we have guests (either personal or from our AirBnB) they have to text me to turn things...

Pool is 20 years old, still has the OG filter and I believe it's time for a new one. - Current is a Pentair FNS Plus 60 sq ft, DE filter - Previous owner replaced some brass screws with hardware store wing nuts so those are rusting - Several of the filters have holes in them so I'm ~$100 bucks...

We bought our house with a pool 4 years ago, and the original pool filter - a Pentair Clean and Clear Plus 420 - is about 14 1/2 years old now. We have a couple sets of filters and rotate them, everything seems to work fine. No visible cracks. Occasionally after reassembly I see a few small...

We have a Hayward heat pump/chiller model HP31005T. Is there a way to connect it to our Pentair intellicenter. The Hayward gas heater is hooked and working fine but having issues making the electric heat pump work. Any insight would be greatly appreciated

So after having some issues with Pentair and my old SWG unit I was given the opportunity to give the new Pentair PLUS SWG platform a shot and ended up with an IC30+, which is part of their new model line of salt water generators. I'm not cool enough to do an unboxing video so instead here...

Hello. I have a master temp 400 about .w years old. It powers our pool and spa in the summer and only the spa in the winter. This week it started throwing an HLS error as soon as it gets to 100 degrees. At which point it shuts off the gas/heat, seems to reset, try again, heat for 30-60...

Lately, my Pentair 011056 pump, installed on December 2020, has been turning off and displays an overcurrent alarm. I read through the posts, but I did not find one that may relate to my issue. I have a Pentair pump that feeds into the SPA or pool, depending on the pool valves. Sometimes, the...

I am thinking of installing the above pump (for usual reasons of energy saving, noise reduction etc). Ordinarily I would want the pump to run to a schedule programmed via the pump control BUT I have a solar system which heats the pool (on the odd occasion that the sun shines here in England!)...

They could potentially claim that the screens blocked air intake for combustion air supply. If the screens were too restrictive, they could reduce air supply below the required air intake for complete combustion. The newer model has fewer air vents, so screens with poor airflow could cause the...

Unit is shutting off at 85 degrees after about 15min of running. It will stay off for a few minutes and fire back up. Changed the board because it was unreadable. Threw a HLS error so changed that, the thermistor, and the thermal regulator. Changed the temp sensor too because easy touch was...

Hi, needing advise! 1st post here on TFP, I am a design/build residential general contractor in Upstate South Carolina. Our personal pool has become a diy design/build (long story). With almost 50 years in the business I am very comfortable with the engineering and construction of the...

Hi there. I was wondering if one could help me with a MasterTemp start up service code. Today, when I was trying to run my pool heater, the heater would run until it reached a temperature of about 86, then it would kick an error code (e05) and then stop heating the pool but continue to run...

I live in the Houston area. We lose power. A lot. Therefore, I just got a new all house generator installed last week. When they cam to do the initial test run on it, the pool filter shut down during the .05 second blink between the house breaker being shut off and the generator kicking on. When...

I just learned something today after struggling and searching for a few days. I thought this info may help someone. I replaced my Pentair Mastertemp 250HD with a slightly used ($1500) Pentair Mastertemp 400HD model 461021 ASTM, an exact fit so it would be an easy install. However. I could not...

I searched here but what I got did not help me. I have a 4 year old Pentair valve actuator (outflow spa vs Returns) that is having trouble turning. It gets to around 5-10 degrees the motor is on but the valve makes clicking sound. I applied a little turning pressure to the handle and then got it...

Is it normal for you to smell gas when the heater cycles on for a Sta-rite Max-e-therm 400? When the heater cycles off, we don’t smell it. I put a combustible gas leak detector over the gas supply lines and did NOT get an alert. I put the detector over the exhaust and it alerted and I...

Looking for help with my pentair multiport replacement. Sand filter is from 2009. Original multiport was leaking badly. Purchased a replacement but it doesn’t seem to seat properly. Was there a design change and I need to cutoff the vertical pipe? The picture shows how it extends out of the sand...

So, like many others on this site, I was tired of the short life of my pentair LED lights and made the switchover to PoolTone. I got the NICHELESS 1 1/2 INCH (SMALL FACE) POOL OR SPA LIGHT and installed them about 18 months ago. The spa light stopped working about 2 months ago and then two of...

Hi everyone, I have an issue with my pool heater Pentair minimax plus 400. I get POWER, TSTAT, AUX, PRESS lights on (green) and service light red. Heat light is off. On the back side all LEDs are green (PVALV, TFUSE, HITEMP). Pilot starts and burns, but the main burner does not start. Control...

Pentair Intelliflo variable speed pump Easy Touch Control Panel My Pentair Intelliflo won’t run after power surge from lightning. The pump displays Alarm Priming Dry. I have tried the reset button and turning breaker off/on. It will temporarily clear the alarm message, but as soon as I try to...

5 year old Pentair Mastertemp fires up for about 10-20 seconds then shuts off, service light illuminates and screen is frozen. No response from the buttons and no error code on the screen. Turn break off and then back on and the process repeats itself. First thought is bad PCB board as it’s a...

I have 3 Pentair Globrite lights in our pool. I will be replacing these lights for the 2nd time in 8 years and I am curious if anyone knows of a different manufacturer that has a light that will fit the Globrite niche? When we installed them originally they were $350 for all three lights, now...

This pool has 4 Intelliflo’s controlled by Pentair Intellicenter. 2 of them are IntellifloXF’s . They are spa booster pumps for the therapy jets. I have everything programmed but the 2 intellifloxf’s won’t turn on when called upon. Their screens read “display not active” so I know they are...

Looking to replace logic board 521107 After lightning strike. It can be a used complete unit from which I could take out the board. For some reason Pentair doesn’t have it in the market anymore. If anybody knows where I could get one please Let me know asap. Thanks.

Earlier this summer my Warrior SI stopped running. Despite my best efforts I could not get it back online and it no longer seems to respond to the control unit. The robot is in reasonably good condition and the wheels, treads and brushes may be of use to someone else. Additionally the control...

Hi there. You all were able to help me once before so I’m hoping you can help again. I have a Pentair easy touch automation panel. We use a remote control to switch our pool from the swim out spa to the regular jets and back. The remote control reroutes everything based on a valve. When we used...
