What causes a Pentair Control Unit to cycle continuously?
If your Pentair Control Unit cycles continuously, it is likely due to a misadjusted, broken, or shorted switch. Determine whether the switch or timer is faulty and replace it, or replace the complete power head.
What to do if Pentair Control Unit shows Upper Drive Sync error?
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.
Why does my Pentair Control Unit drain flow continuously?
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.
What to do if Pentair Control Unit shows Cam Sense Error?
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 causes iron in conditioned water from Pentair Control Unit?
If you find iron in the conditioned water from your Pentair Control Unit, it's likely due to a fouled mineral bed. Check the backwash, brine draw, and brine tank fill. Increase the frequency of regeneration and the backwash time to resolve this issue.
What causes loss of mineral through drain line in Pentair Control Unit?
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.
