UPDATE: Pentair Quick Clean issue

[Tenna1970]

UPDATE: The pump ran until 9:00 a.m. this morning (24 hrs after it went into Quick Clean mode) then shut itself off. Display has no lights and buttons do not work. Repair guy came buy and said he’d “start” by replacing the control panel. The pump is probably 15 years old. I’m inclined to get a new pump so I don’t have to worry about something else breaking down next week or month. I live in Florida and keep the pool open all year. I run the pump 10-12 hrs a day. With a new pump I’ll have replaced everything in the last 2 years except the plumbing. Guess I want to know if you guys recommend just getting the control panel because that’s probably all it will need? Second photo is the part we need.

I have never programmed Quick Clean on my Pentair. Today QC was running for hours. Manual said to hold QC button for 3 seconds to stop it. That didn’t work. Stop start did not work. My husband turned the power off and the pump stopped. He waited a while and turned it back on. The Quick Clean, Stop/Start, and Time-out lights are on. However, the pump will not come back on. Pool Guy can’t get here till tomorrow. He did tell me it was probably going to cost me $2400 + to fix it as it will most likely need replaced. Husband said the cover on the control box was open. It stormed for hours yesterday. Maybe the wires, etc., got wet and ruined it? I read that it may reset after QV runs for 24 hrs. Any thoughts?

Thanks much!

Looks like there is a hole through the pad at the Start Stop button.

You may have water intrusion affecting the electronics. You could try disassembling to dry it out.

Pentair Intelliflo 011018 _ Water inside the display

I have a 2015 Pentair Intelliflo VS variable speed pump 011018 in which water got inside the poorly designed display. The pump is still running but on the last programmed low speed only. The display is blank and I can't run or program the pump to any other higher speed. A fix would be to...

You could also get a Whisperflo VST if an Intelliflo pump is not easily available for replacement.

Yes. Would that be cause to replace the unit?

It would let water into the electronics under the pad.

Husband took it apart and dried everything out. Turned it on and it worked for about 30 minutes. The pump continues to run, however, there are no lights and the display is dark. The buttons do not work. The water must have damaged the keypad control and maybe the main circuit. Ugh

How far did your husband take it apart? See the video below on how to get to the circuit board.



What is the exact model number of your Intelliflo, is it 011018?

Yes, it is a 011018. He took the keypad component only off. He’s running to Lowes to get the torx to remove the screws from the entire top.

Tried that. Worked for a bit then all lights went out and buttons don’t work. Ugh

Good info!

Based on a previous post the pump manufacture date is Nov 2012, so it's just under 10 years old.

Also it might be worth reaching out to member izzi as they've had a similar issue, see post below.

LCD Screen on Pentair IntelliFlo bad

Moved from here. Were the buttons working for you when you had this issue? My display is blank, buttons don't work, and the backlight is on. The pump runs the schedule even with the display disconnected but for some reason the "quick clean" led is on. I think it shouldn't be on during the...
