What to do if my Pentair INTELLIFLO 100 Swimming Pool Pump circuit breaker trips repeatedly?
If the circuit breaker trips repeatedly, it may be due to excessive motor current or a GFCI fault. Ensure the breaker has adequate capacity. If it's a GFCI breaker, test it following the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure no other lights or appliances are on the same circuit. Also, check if the voltage is too high or too low.
Why does my Pentair INTELLIFLO 100 Swimming Pool Pump fail to prime?
Pump failure, specifically the inability to prime, can be caused by an air leak in the suction line, not enough water, a clogged pump strainer, or a defective pump strainer gasket. Check the suction piping and valve glands on any suction gate valves. Ensure the lid on the pump strainer pot is secure and the lid gasket is in place. Verify the water level to ensure the skimmer isn't drawing air. Make sure the suction lines, pump, strainer, and pump volute are full of water. Clean the pump strainer pot and replace the gasket if necessary.
Why is my Pentair Swimming Pool Pump losing pressure?
Reduced capacity and/or head in your Pentair Swimming Pool Pump can be due to several reasons. Check for air pockets or leaks in the suction line. A clogged impeller or pump strainer can also cause this issue. To resolve this, inspect the suction piping and valve glands, and clean the suction trap. If the impeller is clogged, turn off the electrical power, remove the volute bolts, slide the motor and seal plate away, and clean any debris from the impeller. If necessary, remove the diffuser and anti-spin bolt to fully clean the impeller before reassembling.
What to do if my Pentair INTELLIFLO 100 Swimming Pool Pump is making loud noise?
Loud noises from your Pentair Swimming Pool Pump may be due to cavitation. If suction and discharge piping are inadequately supported, it can strain the pump assembly. Ensure the pump is securely mounted on a concrete platform, not wood, for quieter performance. Foreign matter in the pump impeller (like gravel or metal) can also cause noise. Disassemble the pump, clean the impeller, and follow the service instructions for reassembly. Additionally, improve suction conditions by increasing pipe size, decreasing the number of fittings, and increasing discharge pressure.
What to do if my Pentair Swimming Pool Pump has an overcurrent alarm?
An overcurrent alarm indicates excessive drive current. Examine the fluid/mechanical system for the source of the overload. De-energize the motor to check if it spins freely. If the issue persists, consider replacing the drive.
What to do if my Pentair Swimming Pool Pump is overheating?
If your Pentair Swimming Pool Pump is overheating, check the line voltage, and consult a licensed electrician if it's less than 90% or more than 110% of the rated voltage. Increase ventilation around the pump, reduce the ambient temperature, and tighten any loose wiring connections. Also, turn the power off and check for proper voltage, impeller issues, or impeller rubbing.
How to fix IntelliFlo not responding to EasyTouch commands?
If your Pentair IntelliFlo pump isn't responding to EasyTouch or IntelliTouch commands, first ensure the communication cable is connected at both ends. Check that the IntelliFlo local address matches the address used in the IntelliTouch. Verify that the IntelliFlo has been assigned a circuit name on the EasyTouch/IntelliTouch system. Also, ensure the IntelliFlo display says "DISPLAY NOT ACTIVE". A defective device on the network can inhibit operation; disconnect devices sequentially until the network starts working.
What does 'Power Out Alarm' mean on my Pentair INTELLIFLO 100 Swimming Pool Pump?
A 'Power Out Alarm' on your Pentair Swimming Pool Pump indicates that the supply voltage is low. To resolve this, ensure that the pump is receiving the proper supply voltage.
What to do if my Pentair INTELLIFLO 100 Swimming Pool Pump shows a 'Drive Temperature Alarm'?
If your Pentair Swimming Pool Pump displays a 'Drive Temperature Alarm', ensure the motor fan has adequate area for ventilation. Run the motor at a higher speed to improve cooling airflow.
What to do if my Pentair INTELLIFLO 100 has an overvoltage alarm?
An overvoltage alarm on your Pentair Swimming Pool Pump indicates excessive voltage on the drive bus. Rapid switching between speeds can cause this. Ensure the pump is receiving the proper supply voltage.
