I have recently installed a saltwater electrolyser with PH and ORP control. We also have a Pentair Intelliflow pump on the plumbing. The ORP witch is working with a probe in the plumbing (in the pool water) on Millie volts by electric conduction on the salty water, is not working properly. My problem is that the manufacturer of the salt water generator tells me that this is because of magnatic and/ore electronic interference caused by the Intelliflow variable speed pump. I. am stuck in the middle but like to find a selution. He tells me that the Intelliflow pump works with magnets and seams to cause this?? I.am not a specialist but like to know if this problems is well-known by Pentair. If this is what can we do to solve this? Awaiting any good response, kind regards Hans Cornelisse e-mail address is [email protected]

You might want to pull the drive wheels and see if their might be a small pebel stuck in the drive gears on the wheel.

Here are a couple of thoughts. If you install an intelliflo pump and run it for the same amount of time and at the same rpm as your current pump, you will still have a savings. If you drop the rpms by 1k, you will have an exponential savings. Go to the pentair website and use the program to estimate your actual savings. You can still run the heater at a reduced flow setting but there is a limit, you have to check with the heater manufacturer to see what the minimum is.
If you are running a conventional pump 24/7 you are using a ton of energy. You should be able to run the pump for 8 hours a day and achieve the same results. For instance, running the pump from 4am to noon should give you a good window to maintain the heat and not run it all the time. It also depends on if you have a cover on your pool when it's not in use. If you don't, you will lose significant heat when it's not running, however, running it early morning should give it a chance to heat back up before you want to use it again. You will have to experiment with timer settings, etc..
I really do think the intelliflo pump is a great pump. The rare earth magnet design allows it to be way more efficient than the conventional pump. It is so much more efficient that when it's running, you can hold your hand on the motor and it is just warm. Your pump motor probably runs very hot, heat is a by product of inefficiency. I hope this helps.

More than likly it's a square flange motor. If the noise is just starting when you take the pump apart you can check the impeller for problems but the most likley is a bearing going bad from a seal leak. If you remove the wires and take the motor with the back half of the pump to a pool store they can diagnose it for you and do the nessary repairs at the shop. Usually they will do this for a small bench fee or for just the price of the nessary parts.

You DO need a booster pump to power these automatic pool cleaners. It will not work without one.
