Why does my Pentair Control Unit drain flow continuously?
- K
  Kimberly YoungSep 12, 2025
  If the drain flows continuously in your Pentair Control Unit, the valve might not be programming correctly. Check the timer program and the positioning of the control, and replace the power head assembly if it's not positioning properly. Foreign material in the control could also be the issue; remove the power head assembly, inspect the bore, remove any foreign material, and check the control in various regeneration positions. An internal control leak could also be the cause, so replace the seals and piston assembly.

Why is my Pentair Control Unit using too much salt?

  If your Pentair Control Unit is using too much salt, it might be due to an improper salt setting. Check the salt usage and the salt setting to ensure they are correctly configured. It can also be caused by excessive water in the brine tank.

What to do if my Pentair Control Unit has excessive water in the brine tank?
- M
  Mr. Jesus PruittAug 25, 2025
  If there is excessive water in the brine tank of your Pentair Control Unit, the drain line flow control, injector system may be plugged. You should clean the flow control, injector and screen. Alternatively, the timer might not be cycling, in which case you should replace it. Another cause might be foreign material in the brine valve or brine line flow control, so you should replace the brine valve seat and clean the valve and brine line flow control.

Why is my Pentair Control Unit not drawing brine?
- M
  Mark ShahAug 27, 2025
  If your Pentair Control Unit isn't drawing brine, the drain line flow control, injector, or injector screen might be plugged; clean these components. Low line pressure (below 20 psi) could also be the cause, so increase it if necessary. Other potential causes include an internal control leak, requiring replacement of seals, spacers, and the piston assembly, or the service adapter not cycling, which requires checking the drive motor and switches.

What to do if Pentair Control Unit shows Memory Error?
- J
  Jessica DiazAug 28, 2025
  If your Pentair Control Unit displays a Memory Error, it indicates a control board memory failure. Perform a Master Reset and reconfigure the system via Master Programming Mode. After reconfiguring, manually regenerate the valve. If the error persists, unplug the unit and contact technical support.

How to fix hard water with Pentair Control Unit?
- J
  Jamie MendozaAug 30, 2025
  If you're experiencing hard water with your Pentair Control Unit, ensure the by-pass valve is closed. Check that there is enough salt in the brine tank, maintaining the salt level above the water level. Also, inspect the injector screen for any blockages and clean it if necessary. Insufficient water flowing into the brine tank can also cause hard water, so check the brine tank fill time and clean the brine line flow control if it's plugged. Other potential causes include hot water tank hardness (requiring repeated flushing), leaks at the distributor tube (check for cracks, O-ring, and tube pilot), or an internal valve leak (replace seals, spacers, and/or piston).

What causes loss of mineral through drain line in Pentair Control Unit?
- T
  townsendjacquelineSep 18, 2025
  If you're experiencing a loss of mineral through the drain line of your Pentair Control Unit, it could be due to air in the water system. Ensure that the well system has a proper air eliminator control and check for a dry well condition. Another possible cause is an improperly sized drain line flow control, so check for the proper drain rate.

What to do if Pentair Control Unit shows Cam Sense Error?
- D
  Dwayne HicksSep 14, 2025
  If your Pentair Control Unit displays a Cam Sense Error, it means the valve drive took longer than 6 minutes to advance to the next regeneration position. Unplug the unit and examine the powerhead. Verify that all cam switches are connected to the circuit board and functioning properly. Also, verify that the motor and drive train components are in good condition and assembled properly. Check the valve and verify that the piston travels freely. Replace/reassemble the various components as necessary. Plug the unit back in and observe its behavior. If the error re-occurs, unplug the unit and contact technical support.

What to do if Pentair Control Unit shows Upper Drive Sync error?
- N
  Natalie MorganSep 10, 2025
  If your Pentair Control Unit displays an “Upper Drive Sync” error, the valve should recover automatically. If it doesn't, check if the motor is cycling the gears. If not, a jammed piston or a faulty device motor may be the cause and need replacement. If the motor is cycling, drain the super capacitor, unplug the unit, and press the reset button on the circuit board. Plug it back in to restore the display, making the unit ready for operation or programming.

What causes loss of water pressure in Pentair Control Unit?
- P
  Peter WeberSep 6, 2025
  A loss of water pressure in your Pentair Control Unit can be caused by iron buildup in the line to the water conditioner, so clean the line. It may also be due to iron buildup in the water conditioner itself; clean the control, add mineral cleaner to the mineral bed, and increase the frequency of regeneration. Another cause could be the inlet of the control being plugged by foreign material dislodged from pipes during plumbing work; remove the piston and clean the control.
