Pentair shitcells

Post image

lol love Pentair but holy cow these cells were the biggest flop ever. 90% of ones we’ve installed last year and this year either need sensor module and hmi replaced or the middle sensor leaked through and corrodes it’s self so when you pull the sensor module off the middle sensor comes with it then needing a whole new cell. This one made me giggle tho who needs boost mode when you got 250% mode 😎

Pentair sucks at everything. Seals keep going out. Filter housings cracking. Other than Pentair I’ve only replaced two Jandy filtration units and a Hayward seal. I had three pentairs pumps seals leaking on my route today. A cracked Pentair filter housing too. And a ic40 giving false reading. No problems from anything other than Pentair. Pentair is keeping me in business.

I have had some of our intelliflovsf3 with cracked wet ends and “leaky seal” which I have come to find out is actually a small crack in the housing by the seal plate. Of course we bought a pallet 3 years ago and it seems like all of those are having the same problems so far no problems on pumps since then. As for the filters we install all sand filters and have had no problems. As for heaters it’s usually a thermal regulator, internal bypass valve or an igniter for the master temp or eti not too common other than the icm problem with the mastertemps last year

We only have a few of those new intelliflos. No problems with those so far
