Our New Pentair Silent Flo pool pump lasted just over a year and broke down 2 days before Christmas. No-one was available to fix it at Christmas so we had to buy a whole new pump for $700. Installed it and it lasted 2 days. Absolute pieces of rubbish, your company should be ashamed of itself. We’ve had pool pumps before that lasted many, many years (never replaced even one before Pentair). These are supposed to last 5000 starts (well in excess of 10 years). Thanks Pentair for ruining our Christmas. We will never, ever buy a Pentair product again. Have to now wait til the 5th of January because they were off for Christmas (Hope you had a lovely Christmas because you ruined ours). Hope the repaired one lasts more than 2 days. You should refund us $700. Ho Ho Ho and Merry Grinchmas Pentair.

I have replaced at least 5 times the led founatin lights in the last 5 years. I have replaced 3 this year alone. When you call for service, the hold time is "180 minutes". This company doesn't deserve to be in business. pathetic engineering pathetic service

Automation product consistently not working. Tried to call customer service today. Automatic message said no more than 5 minute wait time. Ater 30 minutes on hold, I finally hung up. I will NEVER buy from Pentair again! Not happy with product and customer service is awful!

Wir haben seit über 12 Jahren einen Wartungsvertrag für unsere Pumpe. In den ersten Jahren hat die Firma auch immer die Wartung durchgeführt.
Seit 2023 führt die Firma aber trotz bestehenden Wartungsvertrag keine Wartungen mehr durch. Ich habe in den letzten zwei Monaten dreimal nachgefragt, wann denn wohl die nächste Wartung durchgeführt werden wird. Jedes mal wurde mir versprochen, dass der Monteur sich melden wird. Passiert ist aber ... NICHTS.

So the Pentair pool lights are hugely disappointing and really made poorly. Do not buy one.
The warranty is terrible. I had mine replaced once and then after using it approx 5 times it starting flickering. I don’t swim much at night, it was a bit before I tried turning it on again and now nothing. Something should last more than 5 times. Why are they still making a selling a product everyone is having problems with. The fail rate in a year or less Is 99% and they’re still using them. How can that be. Basically if you buy one you will probably be replacing it every year to year and a half and spending about $900 or more to do that.
So not right and they don’t care.

Wish I could put a zero rating. Pentair products and service are terrible. We have a relatively new pool and spa system that fail to work correctly most of the time. Customer service is non existent

Had a Top of the line Pentair Pool pump installed. The pump housing developed a Crack. Call Customer Service since the pump had a 3 year Warrany. They gave me a case number but never respond to numerous e mails. DO NOT TRUST PENTAIRS WARRANTY OR CUSTOMER SERVICE. GOING TO REPLACE WITH A JANDY PUMP.

Spent 2000$ for intellicorp upgrade and nothing but problems since. Customer service is a joke. Just want to send someplace that does not help. When I got the agent he cut me off.

Globrite LED lights are junk. My second set in 4 years just crapped out. I will not replace them with a PENTAIR product. For some inexplicable reason the metal body cracks and water seeps into the electronics. The light doesn’t fail immediately but the colors start blinking or you lose a color or two, then it goes completely. Fortunately I only have two to replace. PENTAIR sells these pieces of junk for $500. Has anyone found a direct replacement for these? I’ve read about a Jeavle led light for under $400 that has a 5 year warranty. I’m still researching options.

7 Microbrite pool lights failed within 3 years one after another. These lights were professionally installed at about $1200 each. Failed lights had water intrusion around lens or absurd cracks in the body where there was no stress. Never use these.

My experience with trying to get any customer support has been terrible, I’ve tried multiple times over the last few months to contact support only to be placed in a never ending loop with nobody answering and after 20-30 minutes just giving up.have .
Today I actually got thru , explained my situation was told they would transfer me to the right department , I’ve been on hold for 25 minutes, with nothing ,

We purchased a house with a Pentair 50 SQ FT filter system. I have never seen this system in my life and did some online research and watched some videos. After all the research and videos I was chuffed to have such an "advanced" pool filter system which we do not see often in South Africa. This turned into my biggest nightmare as I am still to this day wondering how the previous owner kept the pool clean. The system does not filter at all. It pushes all the sand and debree that the pool cleaner picks up back into the pool. I have replaced the cartridge filter, the bleeding socket and o-rings and the system still does not filter. The feedback from their customer support is horrible leaving you with that shrugging of the shoulders feeling. After spending thousands, I ended up spending a lot more to now replace the pump and filter with a normal sand filter which I will be using the Glass Filtration Media or Clinobrite with. To top it off, the Pentair Kreepy Krauly also just stopped working yesterday. Never EVER do I want a Pentair product ever again!

Qu'est ce que c'est que cette entreprise ? Mon moteur est tombé en panne et heureusement encore garantie. Je l'ai ramené vers le vendeur afin de le faire réparer. 3 mois après il est toujours chez ce vendeur qui n'arrive pas à les contacter. J'ai fais les démarches de mon coté et bien reçu un mail me disant qu'il transmettait ma demande dans le service concerné. malgré ma relance, pas de réponse. SERVICE APRES-VENTE INEXISTANT ! fuyez cette marque, vous voila prévenu !

I upgraded my PentAir pool controller to their latest digital interface. Within a week of installation a couple of boards blew up. My dealer has been waiting almost a month for the 2nd warranty part. When I called PentAir I got the bureaucratic justifications and excuses and no promise for a date for the part.

Brand new in ground pool with Pentair equipment installed. Heater does not work. Pool installer came to service, changed 10+ parts of the brand new heater, had Pentair tech on phone for assistance. Still not working. Ow waiting for Pentair tech to visit and service. At what point should a new heater be installed? Also. After 1 week, light circuit breaker in Pentair panel went bad. No lights. Still waiting for replacement breaker to be installed. After $100k+ I’m disappointed in Pentair products and response. Is going into 3rd week of problem.

My pool pump is less than 8 months old and has stopped functioning completely. The pump is still under warranty but after not responding to emails and messages to begin with ( for over a week) they then direct the complaint to a local subcontractor who will take 5 business days to respond. 2 weeks without a pool pump in Queesland is a long time!

Pentair Intelichor Salt Cell dead after only 2 years and 4 months old! POOR POOR product! Purchased and installed by authorized dealer.

I would give it a zero if I could. Worst pool equipment I've ever owned in my 30+ years as pool owner. I bought the timer/ pump combo fall 2023 and had it professionally installed. A year and a 1/2 later (out of warranty) the timer quit. This is a very expensive piece of equipment!! And it's a POS! Lessons learned 1. NEVER buy pentair again! 2.buy timer and pump separately not as a combo unit so that way if one breaks you have a much less expensive repair cost. 3.buy Hayward. Never had a problem with Hayward in all my years of pool ownership.

Purchased a new Sta-Rite Pump (owned by Pentair) through a local parts store for my Spa. Paid to have it shipped to my house and installed by a professional. The pump did not work so I had to take time to make a warranty claim, loss the use of my spa for over a week and then had pay the installer again to replace the non-working pump. The second pump worked fine. I wrote Pentair customer service to ask for them to reimburse the $100 additional installation fee. I got an email back that simply said, we do not do that. No reason, no apology just "No". I have a pool and will stop replacing parts and pumps with Pentair and go to Jandy since they do not stand behind their products and have terrible customer service. I wish I had visited this site before I ordered the pump.

Called Pentair technical support to answer various questions I had for upgrading pool equipment on a new home purchase.
Waited on the phone for over 20 minutes when a lady said thank you for calling then without hesitation she disconnected the call.
Now being upset with Pentair I said I will not purchase their equipment.
I then reached out to a well known pool supply company in my area.
After lengthy discussion on the pros and cons of both Pentair and Hayward equipment they agreed that Hayward was much better than Pentair.
Thank you Pentair customer service for hanging up on me as If I would have spoken to you I probably would have made a huge mistake costing me thousands of dollars for buying inferior equipment.
