I had a new Pentair Superflow installed end of season last year and noticed that during quick clean modes (vacuuming pool and shocking) the pump runs for a while and at some point mid cycle time faults/fails back to the 4 minute high speed prime. May be doing the same thing during regular cycles but I only notice during cleaning. Happens faster at higher RPMs ( 10 minutes or so at 3400) and lasts longer at slower (2200). There is full water in the basket so I am not sure why this is happening. Is there a sensor I can shutoff or has anyone experienced this? No word back from Pentair yet. Want to run overnight for opening shock so I set for 16 hours (quick clean at 2200) but think it failed to run and defaulted to pause since it was after factory schedule. Very frustrating! Help!

Welcome to the forum!
Is the Superflo wired directly from a circuit breaker? Not through a timer?
I suggest you read ABC's of Pool Water Chemistry.

It is wired though the old mechanical pool timer which is permanently set to on position during the season.

As the pump is new, and you are sure it is getting continuous proper power, I would file a warranty claim. It should not do what you are saying.

Other than having to redo programs, it wouldn't hurt to try a factory reset.
