    What to do if Pentair AUTOTROL 363 Control Unit will not complete a cleaning cycle automatically?
    • R
      Rhonda JenkinsAug 3, 2025
      If your Pentair Control Unit doesn't automatically complete a cleaning cycle, several factors could be responsible. First, ensure the AC adapter and motor are properly connected to provide power. Debris obstructing the camshaft's rotation can also prevent completion, so clear any obstructions. A defective motor may be the cause, requiring replacement. Lastly, a meter clogged with debris can impede the process; remove and clean the meter to resolve this.

      If the flow indicator on your Pentair Control Unit isn't displaying service flow, there are a few potential reasons. Check if the bypass system is engaged; if so, disengage it. Ensure the meter cable is fully inserted into the valve. Lastly, the meter might be clogged with debris, so remove and clean it.

    What to do if Pentair Control Unit displays E3 error?

      If 'E3' is displayed on your Pentair Control Unit, it indicates that the control is not detecting the camshaft position and is returning to the service position. Wait for the control to return to the service position. If the camshaft isn't turning, check that the motor is connected, verify the motor wire harness and optical sensor are correctly connected and in place, and ensure the motor gear has engaged the camshaft. If the camshaft is turning for more than five minutes to find the Home position, check the optical sensor's placement and connection, inspect the camshaft slots for debris. If problems persist, replace the motor assembly and optical sensor, then the control.

    How to fix backwashes or purges at excessively low or high rate in Pentair Control Unit?

      Jonathan SmithAug 18, 2025
      If your Pentair Control Unit backwashes or purges at an excessively low or high rate, it could be due to a missing drain line flow control. Install a drain line flow control to regulate the rate. Alternatively, a restricted drain line could be the issue; remove any restrictions to ensure proper flow.

      If you notice flowing or dripping water at the drain of your Pentair Control Unit after a cleaning cycle, it's likely that debris is preventing valve disc #3 or #4 from fully closing; remove any debris. Alternatively, the valve discs #3 or #4 may be worn and require replacement.
