My pool is green with algae as my Pentair Intelliflo pump (011018) can't be adjusted after succumbing to the poorly designed weatherproofing of its keypad. I had it covered with a portable housing but that cover must have been left off once or twice by my pool service or me. The pump runs but I have no control other than cutting off the power.
I'm handy and tried cleaning up the PCB corrosion and got it to somewhat work but only for a couple minutes at a time. Eventually, I had to be torquing the board in a certain way to get the display and controls to show at all. And now I have nothing but frustration.
Long story short, I'm between jobs and trying hard not to spend $552 for a new drive off Ebay.
Does anyone know if I can replace my broken keypad with the Pentair Keypad Assembly Kit 357527Z? It's available from Sunplay here. Unfortunately, they aren't picking up chat or the phone for me to ask questions.
My pump was built in May 2012.
Looking at the two pics on the listing, the connector for the PCB isn't white like mine and might be a different shape but I can't tell. Alternatively, if the new control board side connector differs might the other end that connects into the seemingly identical keypad use the same RS232 connector such that I could switch out my old cable for the new one and connect to my pump's control board that way?
Thanks in advance for any and all advice here.
Please note that I will happily buy a salvage keypad for a 011018 drive if anyone has one they can sell. My keypad part number is 176L0675. And, no, Pentair won't sell me or their resellers this discretely identified part. :-(
Thanks!
