    Pentair Intelliflo VSF 011056 replacing vs 3050 - control cable question

    Pentair magic bowls - paint peeling

    I've had these Pentair Magic Bowls installed for three years now. Anyone have any ideas on how I can stop the paint from peeling? It's not limited to just the water surface area. As you can see it is even peeling off the top area where there is no water. It's worse where there is water contact.
