Product Description
The Pentair IntelliValve 2-Wire Valve Actuator offers universal compatibility for sophisticated water flow management in any pool or spa system. This specific model is engineered with a simplified 2-wire connection that allows it to integrate with virtually any third-party or non-Pentair automation control system that supplies standard 24-volt power and a switching signal. It eliminates the complex wiring requirements of traditional 3-wire systems. Operating on safe, low-voltage 24 VAC power, the IntelliValve provides a full 180-degree adjustable rotation, allowing for precise control over your pool's circulation and features (e.g., transitioning between pool and spa mode, activating water features, or controlling cleaner lines). The robust, weather-resistant housing ensures long-term outdoor durability. A manual override handle and switch are included for convenient service access. It fits most standard 2-port and 3-port pool valves, including Pentair, Jandy, Hayward, and Zodiac models.

⚠️ Warnings and Disclaimers
- Electrical Hazard: Installation requires working with electricity and sophisticated control wiring. All power must be OFF at the breaker before installation.
- Qualified Professional: This product must be installed by a Hayward authorized and certified professional in accordance with NEC codes.

💡 Professional Tips
- Proportional Flow: This is a premium component that allows you to control exactly how much water goes to features (e.g., set waterfall flow to 50% or 80%) directly from your phone app or control panel.
- Energy Efficiency: By precisely controlling flow, you can optimize pump speeds and reduce energy consumption significantly compared to standard on/off actuators.
- Installation: This actuator uses a 4-wire connection (Power + Data) rather than the standard 2-wire setup. Ensure you have the proper cable run and control system for this installation.
