Pentair Intellivalve Valve Actuator

Reviews are always gathered soon after shipment and the best you can expect from that is- did it ship on time (yes) did it come in good condition (yes) possibly how was installation, but you can never seem to find out how long a product lasts or what the failure mode is. I searched hard for that information but didnt seem to be able to find it. Regardless, turned off the breaker to my control box..traced and replaced the wires to each valve connection and the pins/plugs were the identical size and the wires were long enough. only 4 screws, and you have to realize that manual actuation is no longer possible if you swap these out with your old actuators that attached to the handles. I finished, put power to the pump and ...saw my pump was not flooded. So I put the system back in service mode...saw I could reverse the position of the valve by pressing two buttons...did that and it has worked ever since for about 3 weeks now.

This is a digital replacement for the old mechanical Pentair valve actuators. The price was right. It works great. Was easy to set up and was a real problem solver. The best price around. I will be changing all my old mechanical valve actuators to these digital units as the old one fail.
