Pump priming at 2:05 am every night...?

[ttdanimal]

Pentair vsp for 16k fiberglass w/swg. Run the pump 24/7 with lowest setting overnight. Good flow, everything been running great. Pool is 2 years old.

Except I think every night at 2:05 am it reprimes. That is not around any changes in the schedule. I didn't see anything in the manual about a possible setting causing this.

Any ideas? It's loud when it goes through that.

What model pump are we discussing?

Is this a new installation?

Pentair intelliflo vsf. 3.95 THP.

Model number please

Model number please

Sorry. 011056. I think that's the number you're asking for. There are some other part numbers on the labels if something else (none labeled model).

Check the firmware version on your pump.

IntelliFlo firmware V3.03 & V3.04 in 011028 or 011056 pumps or IntelliFlo3 pumps can cause intermittent RS-485 connection problems. We have had threads on members having these problems with their pumps.

If you have an affected pump you will need to call Pentair to send someone to update the pump firmware (3.03/3.04 were troublesome).

Put the IntelliConnect into SERVICE mode and check the firmware in the pump.

Looks like I'm on 2.11. Which sounds odd given Pentair was out last summer to do a firmware upgrade. I also don't have intermittent issues, but one that seems tried to 2:05 am for some reason.

Regardless seems updating firmware is a good next step to see if that fixes it. And if not it rules something out. Thanks.

Pentair has also been updating the IntelliConnect firmware.

Calling Pentair support and reviewing the problem with them and your firmware levels could be helpful.
