Sad (but great) Pentair’s lack of user friendliness forces me to watch and relearn programming every spring… (the great part is kudos to this video. Appreciate you every year!!!
Couldn't believe my Pentair pump control panel could be any more confusing until I saw this previous model. An "X" for "select"? Whose idea was that? Congratulations to the presenter for making some sense of it.
Bought a home with this pump and could not find any good videos and User Manual online is/was a little confusing.....but I found this one...I know its old but man this saved the day. Thank you.
Whoever did the software for these things was bereft of knowledge of any previous control systems out there. So were the people advising them. Having a "Quick Clean" time factory set at 6 minutes is proof. Worst of all it the Jandy VS. You can barely see the display in direct sunlight, and the programming is profoundly counter-intuitive. I can barely figure them out with a factory diagram in my hand. I've been working pools for 30 years. I now recommend 2-speed motors. No electronics, no drive to replace, On the power center, add a 2-speed relay. On electro-mechanical timers, add a T106 (Intermatic) timer. The motors are bullet proof and have been on the market for decades, and you can use the existing pump wet end. Thanks for posting this video!
Man, I was struggling with the directions and and other videos on the scheduling until you explained how it works with the manual buttons (1-4) This is the best video on this subject. Thanks for sharing.
Going over to my neighbors house who has this pump and is having difficulty with programming. After watching this video , I should be able to program it for him. Thanks for the video. I think Pentair could do a better job in the programming of this motor. It seems like a PITA to me.
When my Pentair variable speed pump was installed about 3 years ago, there was only one sketchy RUclips video about it. Finally, someone come up with a "how to" video in real time. I tried printing out the programming instructions from the manual, but it might as well have been in Greek (or maybe Chinese). Thank you!
Now...If I can just g outside and do this. This instruction video was absolutely tremendous!! I am keeping you on my sort of speak, "You Tube SPEED DIAL"...I have no idea really on my speeds min and max, so I am going to do yours, important thing for me is to get this thing up and running, it has been installed (used), for 2 months and not yet programmed. This is going to help so much, cant thank you enough!!
Wow, I was feeling stupid and hopeless and just wanted to retreat from this whole pump situation until watching this video. Thank you, thank you. Feeling like I can handle it now.
Thx for the video. My pool guy has no idea how to reprogram it after we shut off the power for the pump maintenance. Now I can run this bad boy at day time with my solar power
I've been trying to read those stereo directions called a Manual and I've gotta tell ya, it was confusing. Thanks for putting all that complication into simple English. It's much appreciated!
Excellent, fast and to the point. I have a new Intelliflo with version 2.x firmware so my buttons don't quite match yours but straight forward. Page 15 of the manual also describes SCHEDULE settings.
Thank you. Love the pump, but the control panel is very difficult to use for the homeowner who only needs to change things once or twice a year. It's great once it is setup. BTW - thanks for the info about the watts, I will have to see how mine is setup to make sure I am not wasting electricity by running it too fast when I could run it slower for longer.
Great video. Just got a pool with this pump system, and this video helped a lot. Only odd thing is that, for some reason, I have the urge to see if I can get the pump to latch on correctly to my man boob for proper flow.
You should not have to resort to videos to attempt to program these pumps when it is the change of seasons. Honestly- Pentair- shame on you. Thank you for doing this video- and glad to see I am not the only one dealing with this thing upside down.
Very good job explaining the features on this pump. I inherited one of these intelleflo pumps when I moved in a couple of years ago. It really does a nice job.
Great video!!! Bailed me out after someone messed up the programs on my pump. Thanks for posting this. I am going to save this video for future reference. Mahalo brudda!
I’ve tried to just start and stop the pump but ur video is pretty confusing. How about just showing how to schedule a start time and an end Time. Please help
I have an Intelliflo that was installed in spring of ‘23. Is there any difference in programming that one? Or is this video appropriate instruction for my pump as well. ? My max speed is 3050 rpm. I do not want it running at that Power constantly. I’m goi g to bring this video with me back to the pump & HOPEFULLY figure out how to set it
I have an Intelliflo that was installed in spring of ‘23. Is there any difference in programming that one? Or is this video appropriate instruction for my pump as well. ?
Excellent video… I had a power outage and now my pentair pump doesn’t want to communicate with my Aqualink RS 6 . Any advise on how to reconnect them together ?
It was Helpful to a point. And then he started running away with it and going to fast glad he’s not a schoolteacher. I will just go to the manual and figure it out.
That’s the beauty of RUclips. You can always pause and rewind. We’ll definitely keep your feedback in mind for future videos though. Thanks for the input.
great information. Personally I just need a quick one program direction. But appreciate the detail may be good another time. too much info for me plus i am technically inept so just need quick and simple for one program timer
Great video ! Must watch for new to pool pumps - what type of schedule do you recommend, I know you kept mentioning you were just picking speeds and times as an example.
Just came across your videos in the chandler area, new homeowner with a pool. Do you offer an hour training on how to clean the filter, program, vacuum and etc?
Excellent video, thank you! What steady RPM would be average for 12 hours a day in summer? For example should I run 18 hours at 1500 RPM or 12 hours at 2200 RPM? How do you know which is more efficient?
Easy to follow you. The manual is a nightmare. Lol Question: what is the nickel sized black cap on the side for. I found mine had fallen off. Air blows out of the fitting and I don't know whether the cap is supposed to be left on (capped) or off (uncapped)
How do you tell it which scheduled program to use. You set Speed 5 and 6 to Schedule, but I didn’t see how you told it which Schedule to run. I want to set a schedule for Summer (10 hours a day) and one for Winter (8 hours a day), but i can’t get it to run Schedule 2, it keeps defaulting to schedule 1.
What speed is required to keep the flow switch closed? The flow switch must be closed for the salt system to run and make chlorine. I'm having my salt system show no flow at 2000 RPM and below.
I learned with this video. Thanks Know question I have a pump that every time i go for maintenance, it resets by itself. Schedule stays the same but the clock changes time? What could it be?
I just had the latest Pentair 3hp pump model 11056 professionally installed. I verified the settings with Pentair tech support. I did the math and do not really see the electric savings. The pump runs for 8 hours at 1300 rpm using 146 Watt/hours total 1168 watt/hours, next it runs for 2 hours at 2750 rpm 1265 Watt/hours total 2530 watt/hours, The pump needs to run for 1 minute at 3450 rpm 38 Watt/hours to get the Kreepy Krawley (Pentair pool sweep) to start. Total for the day 3736 Watt/hours. My old Hayward 3hp SUPER 11 pump was running 3450 rpm for 2 hours a day at 8.3 amps on 230V total 3818 watt/hours per day. Power savings of only 82 watt/hours per day with the new Pentair pump. I know for sure that I will not see any savings on my electric bill with all the other power I use. ALSO: for a brand new model pump it's programed with a obsolete daylight savings time. Daylight saving time before 2007.
My pump is stuck on program 2 anytime we press start/ on and just stays continuously on until we manually turn it off. In the past it would be on schedule and I’m not sure how to get it off program 2.
When I turn my pump on that has the same key pad model as your great video. But I’m getting an “error 01” message and it won’t allow the pump to turn on (nothing just clicks and shuts off). Do you have any suggestions? I’ve reset and killed the power for a few days to be sure it wasn’t overheating. I spoke with the manufacturer but they were no help and I have read over the manual. I’m located in south scottsdale, sounds like you mentioned you were in Phoenix. Thank you kindly for any advice.
We started using a new pool guy a couple of months ago and my electric bill has gone through the roof. I have solar so I should be paying a little to nothing to the electric company and this past month my bill was over $300. He claims the pool pump is running for nine hours but I hear it coming on twice a day. I have this pool pump timer and the dial timer and I’m not sure if he has them both set or what but I need help resetting everything.
My pump runs only for about 15 minutes on quick clean. I’ve tried several (many) times to find a way to increase the time. 2 questions; how do I increase the run time and what’s an appropriate amount of time? pS: I’m in Arizona.
Hello, great videos easy to understand thank you. I like to ask you a question on the speed of the pump. My pool is 25,000 gallons, can you tell me the best speed to run in and for how long. The pool service company keeps telling me if I run it at a low speed for a longer period of time the pool water is not being filtered. They recommend running it at a high speed for 6 Hours and for some reason the water still looks a little dirty and at times it starts building yellow algae. Can you help me out with any information thank you?.

Same here. This is my fifth year. Pentair should be embarrassed.

Great instructions for the most user unfriendly pump I’ve ever tried to program!

I’m not too sharp, I’m glad I’m not the only one that didn’t think the manual wasn’t helpful.
Best instructional video ever made. Camera work, sound and content are all perfect. THANK YOU!

Awesome. My pool guy was running the pump from 7 am til 5pm at 3400 RPM all day. One program and my electric bills were sky high.
Your pool guy knows best, he knows better than you at least
@@poolmonkey7479 we fired him and the new guy runs it 24/7 but at variable speeds
Variable speed pumps are the biggest rip off.
Came for the pump instruction. Bonus education on "priming" at 0:44.
Awesome video... I’ve had this pump for over ten years and didn’t realize all the features. Thanks a ton!
I've been trying to read those stereo directions called a Manual and I've gotta tell ya, it was confusing. Thanks for putting all that complication into simple English. It's much appreciated!
Awesome job explaining how to program this controller...THANK YOU!
0:44 best instructions ever.
🤣👉😙 (*Y*)
Excellent, fast and to the point. I have a new Intelliflo with version 2.x firmware so my buttons don't quite match yours but straight forward. Page 15 of the manual also describes SCHEDULE settings.
As new to having a pool this helped a lot in understanding. Had a tech come out and was very helpful in explaining the functions
You're the best simple explanation and to the point w/o music too!
Thanks!
this thing has been stressing me so bad. thanks for the video.
Thank you. My house came with a pool with this pump. Had no info on it. Thank you.

When my pump starts, priming is 1800 RPM and the wattage is around 600, those priming readings at the end are crazy !
Thank you so much for being clear and concise.
Thanks for posting.The best video on youtube to set the Intelliflow pump and I have looked at them all of them!
Wow, thanks John! That our goal.
Man. Thank you. This is my go-to video every time I need to make changes ❤️
You should not have to resort to videos to attempt to program these pumps when it is the change of seasons. Honestly- Pentair- shame on you. Thank you for doing this video- and glad to see I am not the only one dealing with this thing upside down.
They are a step toward denying pools to the middle class
Awful brand. If the guy who designed this abortion would show up at my house he would be floating.
I just bought a house and it had this pump. it works awesome.
Very good job explaining the features on this pump. I inherited one of these intelleflo pumps when I moved in a couple of years ago. It really does a nice job.
Great video!!! Bailed me out after someone messed up the programs on my pump. Thanks for posting this. I am going to save this video for future reference. Mahalo brudda!
Exactly. Very well explained.
1:52 Thank you for the great instructions! This should not be so confusing!🤔
TWO THUMBS UP ON THE WAY YOU DID THE TRAINING!
This is awesome! Clearly explained. Once you get the hang of the programming keys it’s pretty easy to setup. Thank you!!
I need to find this guy. Great video
Thank you much.. i had this pumped installed and the installer left without a tutorial.. So thank you
I like the way you explained the different features of the Pentair .
EXCELLENT video from one pool dude to another
I am a pool dude too. Hey, did ya notice anything off, if ya pause it at 0:44?
Thank you for this amazing video a great step by step tutorial very easy to follow you have been a very big help.👍👍👍👍
Best video on this pump out there, thank you!!!
Excellent tutorial for a extremely advanced pool pump, thank you
Thank you for your video! How do you set it to stay on (@500rpm) for 24 hours/continuous during freezing temperatures? Thank you.
Good instructional video with sound advice. Thanks.
I’ve tried to just start and stop the pump but ur video is pretty confusing. How about just showing how to schedule a start time and an end Time. Please help
I have an Intelliflo that was installed in spring of ‘23. Is there any difference in programming that one? Or is this video appropriate instruction for my pump as well. ?
My max speed is 3050 rpm. I do not want it running at that Power constantly. I’m goi g to bring this video with me back to the pump

Great video that has helped me understand this pump.
Excellent step by step video! Thanks a ton!!
Great video, helped me out when I was in a pickle
Good stuff. Thanks! This pump is pretty incredible.
Nice video. I used to set my schedule but there’s now two separate schedules. How do you delete an old programmed schedule?
I come to this video every pool season. Why the settings doesn’t save when pool is shut for the season?
Just got a house with this pump. Could you do a video explaining this pump with the use of a Aqualink RS4 remote from inside the house?
Tremendously helpful!!!! Thank you so much!
Massive help. Thank you for sharing the knowledge!
It was Helpful to a point. And then he started running away with it and going to fast glad he’s not a schoolteacher. I will just go to the manual and figure it out.
That’s the beauty of RUclips. You can always pause and rewind. We’ll definitely keep your feedback in mind for future videos though. Thanks for the input.
Agree hard to keep up with all the back and forth. Be easier if he stayed on track on thing at a time. After rewinding plenty times finally got it.
What should rpm be with old school plumbing of 2 inch inlet and 2 inch outlet? Into a cartidge de pentair quad 60. Is 2300 too high?
Great video, it helped tremendously, best on I have found!
How can I run it for 24 hours?
Excellent explanation. Thank you for being so detailed.
Do these pumps need to have regular maintenance?
great information. Personally I just need a quick one program direction. But appreciate the detail may be good another time. too much info for me plus i am technically inept so just need quick and simple for one program timer
Hello, I tried to change some speed, but all buttons don't work, so does the Pentair pump have any buttons locked?
Great video ! Must watch for new to pool pumps - what type of schedule do you recommend, I know you kept mentioning you were just picking speeds and times as an example.
Just came across your videos in the chandler area, new homeowner with a pool. Do you offer an hour training on how to clean the filter, program, vacuum and etc?
It’s nice to know I’m not the only one that has problems pushing the correct button! Is there a way to delete a schedule?
What does the exclamation point on the programming display mean. Mine is blinking?
We just moved into a house that has the schedule pre-set. Is there any way to view the programming settings without changing them?
Excellent video, thank you! What steady RPM would be average for 12 hours a day in summer? For example should I run 18 hours at 1500 RPM or 12 hours at 2200 RPM? How do you know which is more efficient?
Read the wattage and multiply that by the hours for the two different RPMs and figure out which one is lower.
Easy to follow you. The manual is a nightmare. Lol
Question: what is the nickel sized black cap on the side for. I found mine had fallen off. Air blows out of the fitting and I don't know whether the cap is supposed to be left on (capped) or off (uncapped)
How to factory reset the pump?
You ever get Unknown pump type error, with a replacement motor?
How do you tell it which scheduled program to use. You set Speed 5 and 6 to Schedule, but I didn’t see how you told it which Schedule to run. I want to set a schedule for Summer (10 hours a day) and one for Winter (8 hours a day), but i can’t get it to run Schedule 2, it keeps defaulting to schedule 1.

Take a trip to El Salvador and install one of this pumps for us Sr.
Do you have any videos on how to connect to the pentiar easy touch control panel?
If the screen no longer turns on does the whole thing need to be changed
Very helpful video, thanks. As Fall and Winter approach how should times and speeds be adjusted?
Great video, easy to follow instructions.
Thanks, I was having a hard time with the instructions your video helped a lot.
Glad we could help.
Awesome video, really helped me out today, thanks for sharing
We have this pump for both the pool and spa. How do you turn on the pump and what buttons do you select to use with the spa?
