pentair

Hi, I've seen this question asked several times here on TFP but was looking for more specific info. TFP suggested creating a new thread, so apologies in advance for asking a similar pool pump comparison question. I have a 2014 Pentair Whisperflo 2HP pump that works well in my 19K inground...

Last weekend, I cleaned the cartridge as I regularly do, put the lid and the lock ring back and everything seemed ok. This model has no gasket or clamps and the lock ring clicks in place without any problems. The next day, I noticed there was leakage through the lid, what never happened before...

Hi friends, My existing pool has an Intelliflo VSF pump, Pentair cartridge filter, and is not saltwater. It does not yet have a control system of any kind (no EasyTouch, Intellicenter, etc). Tomorrow our pool builder will install an Pentair IntelliCenter i8PSIC40 Kit and a MasterTemp 400k...

Hi everyone, While I'm a bit of a newb for this forum I do have years of software development experience as well as about 5 years of on/off experience with Raspberry Pi. I'm really trying to accomplish 2 things and they are somewhat related. My overall large goal is to get as much pool...

After the freeze a couple of weeks ago, we had some of thenpool parts crack. So much fir freeze protection on Pentair :( I've replaced the manifold, and pump housing, and filter lid. Just discovered now that the booster pump has a cracked in the plastic. Has anyone had luck...

My “jelly jar” cracked due to ice. The replacement is $250 which is highway robbery. It doesn’t appear any different than the canisters I use for my water filter system and aquariums. Does anyone know an alternative to use? Tomorrow I plan to see if any of my canisters fit. Thanks!

I already replaced it with the “better quality” Seal (Chemical/Salt Resistant, P/N: 071732S) from the Seal Quick Kit (P/N: 356198) together with the rest of the o-rings and gasket, but I am very surprised this already happened, since I bought the pump (P/N: 011056) brand new last September...

Sorry, this might go long... Need some help with my new Ruud (Raypak) heat pump, hoping there are some of you that have the same 6550 series Crosswind V. We bought from Recreational Warehouse (Model number delivered was 6550IT-E) and sold as a 118k unit. It was installed a few days before...

Hey everyone. We've been having an issue with our Pentair is10 spa side remote which is controlled by the Pentair Intellicenter. After we got everything installed and did the set up programming we noticed that the is10 remote worked but it did not display the water temp or control the water...

I replaced my Pentair IC40 in April this year and it has just failed with communication error due to water getting into the the connector and corroding the pins. I live in Florida where water and heat is always a problem. I thought the solution was going to be easy. Cut off the old connector and...

Should I be concerned about the end caps eroding? Filters were used for 2 seasons, pool was crystal clear all summer.

Hi, I'm a newbie. This is my first time asking for help but not visiting this great website. I was told that my pool pump needs replacing (it leaks). Current equipment is: Sta-Rite Dyna-Glas .75HP MPRA6D-146L but it has been discontinued. We have a 16yr old, Roman shaped, fiberglass, in-ground...

Im Replacing an S8M150 with a Quad 60 , can anyone tell me if it will be suffcent , pool is approximately 25k gallons. Thanks

I have an intellicenter with the I10D expansion board and it resets itself 2-3 times a week. It is resetting the date and time, so once the reset happens it starts back up but with the wrong time and date, therefore my schedules don't run accurately. Any ideas as to why the thing would reset...

Cannot seem to get the connection between outside antenna and inside one to connect and show temp, turn on spa and waterfall, or even show outside temp. I have reset all antennas and made sure all cords are connected properly. the rv and tv on the inside panel do seem to be blinking green...

I haven't yet been able to find another good installer (mine disappeared shortly after the original build in 2015), so since I am somewhat technically inclined I took on all of the maintenance from the beginning and want to do some updates to our simple system. Currently I have 1.5" plumbing to...

I have a Pentair MasterTemp 400K BTU Heater that is under warranty (pool startup was Thanksgiving 2021...so ~21 months ago). It recently started leaking, and the technician came out yesterday and confirmed that it is totaled. He pulled off the heater manifold, and the copper tubing had corroded...

This is not a question, it is to provide a heads-up to others who have older Pentair skimmer boxes in their pools and wish to replace a broken weir with an original equipment Pentair weir. I have been using universal weirs that work fairly well but often come loose due to the heavy sloshing of...

I'm about to pull the trigger on a Pentair 011533 WhisperFlo VST pump 2.6HP to replace old bessie which was a 0.75HP single-speed. The problem that I am foreseeing though is the inlet looks to be threaded onto the valve. All of the videos I've seen include them sawing off a portion of the inlet...

See video here: The whine started in the past few weeks. It originally was just the pump primed/turned on - but has now become somewhat constant. This is a pretty annoying noise/can be heard by the pool and my neighbors so I'd like to address it. Any thoughts on how best to debug this/fix it?

My salt water pool has five Pentair check valves and one Jandy check valve. The pool is 14 years old. The Jandy valve has never been replaced and looks and works fine. The Pentair valve flappers only seem to last about three years. And cost like $75 - $130 each, and I need five each time...

Moved into a house and inherited a pool with a pentair system. The screenlogic apps on Android and iPhone don't work on local or remote, but the desktop app works fine. Any ideas? Thanks!

Is there anyone that I could send my boards to for evaluation?

Having an issue with pentair system. Able to log in remotely and see things, unable to have an effect on the actual system. from the panel i'm able to change modes and have the valves turn, but no changes with the pumps. the pump settings in the panel appear to be correct when it comes to...

My IC60 is about 6 years old (I think) in a 20,000 gallon pool. (I know this is overkill for my pool size. But that is what they gave me!!) Im in New Jersey so it only runs 3-4 months a year. I have an Easy Touch system and the salt level in the Screen Logic app is not updating at all and is...

Hello everyone, My name is Todd and I’m having an issue with my Pentair Mastertemp125 High Performance Pool heater not working. I have an above ground 21 foot round pool and I bought this heater in 04/2022 but it was backordered and I got it around the end of 08/2022 so it sat in my shed until...

Hi - My Pentair iS4 Spa Side Remote has gone bad and I need to replace it. How important is it that the conduit that houses the spa side remote cable be free from cracks? For context, the conduit that houses my spa side remote cable between the spa and the control system runs under a 10' wood...

Here we go. Hello please help me, I am looking for any recommendations on my Re-pipe and filter upgrade. I've never done this but I'm really mechanically inclined, I work on all my own stuff, have lots of tools and eager to learn. Been doing hours of research. Background Info: Skip if you want...

I recently installed an IC-20 (an adventure story all its own). It looked to be working fine, but then I saw that it was giving me a "low salt" reading one morning. I reset it a few times without success. Having read other posts on the matter, I thought maybe I have a bad flow switch, but the...

Hello, my original thread from the spring discussed some options for wiring my pump and SWG to a single relay so the SWG would only run while there is flow. Easy enough.... However, i've realized that i probably want to run on two schedules (the IntelliConnect only allows for a single schedule...
