Customer-Facing Q&A
Q: What’s the difference between IntelliValve and a standard valve actuator?
A: IntelliValve is designed for more precise positioning and better integration with compatible Pentair automation setups, depending on the controller and configuration.
Q: Will this work with my existing diverter valve?
A: It’s intended for use with standard pool 2-way/3-way diverter valves that accept actuator mounting. Confirm your valve top pattern and automation compatibility before ordering.
Q: Does it come with the valve itself?
A: No—this is the actuator only. The diverter valve body is sold separately.
