    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.

    When my Pentair variable speed pump was installed about 3 years ago, there was only one sketchy UA-cam 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!

    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.

    My question is regarding 'Spa' pump vs 'Pool' pump, specifically what/how to program the 'Spa' pump, since all the schedules I set seem to fire off with the 'Pool' pump green (ie: ON in the phone app). I can manually activate the 'Spa' pump from the app (our spa is embedded in pool corner).
    Are there any specific program settings to be mindful of, regarding 'Spa' pump?

    Hi, great video, I have 2 STA-RITE IntelliPro Variable Speed Programmable Pump that were install in 2014. I use "Set Time" to set the IntelliPro system time. The system clock is suppose to store the correct time for up to 96 hours after power is shut off or before a reset is needed. When the clock reaches 12am it stops and the pumps do not come on as scheduled because the clock is not working. I have to go in manually each day and reset the system clock. Thoughts, suggestions?

    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?.

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.
