Pentair, Inc. Arvostelua 93

I do not recommend this company or their products. Their cleaners are the worst and have damaged our pool. What has Pentair done about it???? Sent a rep out to take notes and NOTHING STILL!!!!! RUINED OUR PLASTER AND NOT TAKING CARE OF US but took the MONEY 💰

Bought a pool cleaner pump in January of 2023. Here in Dallas Texas with weather in the 80's and 90's why is the pump housing leaking. Freezing weather, nope not exactly. Defective Pump Housings. Hearing from the repair company their product is not holding up and they are not standing behind their product. I will never allow another Pentair product on my property.

Had an ic20 fail out of the box and 2 months and many emails later I get the response "The product is out of stock until July 30th. This response only came after I emailed the entire company. They lied to the BBB stating that they have left several unanswered voice mails. Other competitors abound with better product and less price. The quality has gone down while the prices have gone up.

Had our pool installed about 2 years ago. Starting a few months after completion it's been one thing after another. I understand sometime parts fail but the problem is that it's almost impossible to reach anyone at Pentair customer service unless you're willing to sacrifice an entire day of being on hold. And when you email, they literally respond 2 weeks later with questions that you've already answered resulting in another email and another 2 week wait. It's a joke. If you have any other options, use a different pool equipment provider.

Je confirme, déja avec un pisciniste qui repond aux abonnés Absent qui a installé notre piscine aux travers de multiple sous traitants en Avril 2021 nous a installé un filtre à sable SR610 avec son kit vanne KV15 Pentair 1 "1/2, vanne déja cassée fissurée et qui se trouve dans notre garage donc aucune contraite après un peu plus de 2 ans d'utilisation. J'ai tenté via CF.Group St Quentin F mais en tant qu'individuelle ou il vous invite gentillement à aller voir ailleurs...... Je déconseille vivement materiel, pisciniste et grossiste qui vous laisse avec votre problèmatique

This company is too big for its own good. Pentair sold me a $3,000 pool cleaner (Dolphin) which went bust 6 months after warrantee expiration.
The company took a week to get back to me only to get a person calling me at an inconvenient time during the middle of my work day. She then put me on hold for 50 minutes to get another lady who had no idea of the situation, was smug about my warrantee and scoffing at the idea of reimbursement.
She then offers nothing but an address to get the unit fixed. That address wasn't even in the right country.

Don't buy Pentair. They design their equipment to break after warrantee so you buy another unit. They are slow and provide very bad customer service.

I've used pentair pool equipment and products for quite some time. Usually reliable, but pricy. Needed to order a part for an intelliflow pump and was quite surprised to learn they DONT SELL PARTS. Why provide a schematic in owners manuals describing all available parts, and then not sell them.

I will make it my life's mission to NEVER buy another item from Pentair and I will encourage all friends and relatives to do the same.

First off I love Pentair products I believe their equipment may be the best in the industry. As for the Tec support, they get a -5 Stars. They did call me back in 30 minutes. I was trying to specify the proper touch screen kit for my pump. (BTW Pentair, your phone app is a POS) Got shunted off to India where I did get the correct P/N for the kit and then they proceeded to tell me I needed basically every part except the physical motor to go with it, TEN SEPERATE PARTS. Clearly had not a clue as to their job. Pentair PULL YOUR HEAD OUT!!

I bought a new pentair VSF 3.0 HP pump from an authorized dealer and got it installed by him . The pump did not pump enough water from the get go. It was pumping 30-32 ml on 80% and 40 on 100% power. this was bought and instaleed just six days ago. It seemed odd and I checked on Google and then contact the dealer TC pool supplies in Anaheim from whom I bought equipment. He told me that the pool pump is defective and needs to be replaced and asked me to contact Pentair. I did the same day. I was given a ticket number and asked to register the product though the person on the line had all my details and verified it. I registered and have written to them no one has answered me yet. I have called them and the hold time are over 30 mins with monotonus music. I am at my wits end. I paid 3750 $ for the pool and installation. I have done everything by the book. Pentair has not replied to my complaints. I am not sure if they will. I hope I don't have to take some legal action. I am a senior citizen and don't have time for all this. I would like them to answer the call and replace the lemon they have sold me with a good one.

Worst hit and run company for pool pumps. They DO NOT stand behind their warranties. Calling and emailing their Philippine call center was a waste of time. Spent $500 to repair their crap

Terrible customer service ‼️
Rename customer dis-service ‼️
It’s not possible to ask a question ⁉️
If I’d known how bad it was, i wouldn’t have bought this brand.
What is wrong with management ❓

Da 14 anni, la mia piscina è stata costruita e dotata con la pompa Superflow, una valvola multiporta e un filtro NSF 60 di Pentair. Questa attrezzatura è esposta ai forti sbalzi stagionali della mia zona. Ho sostituito la griglia del filtro, anche se ho imparato a mantenerla pulita, e ho anche sostituito il condensatore di avvio della pompa, che è costato solo 20 euro. Nel complesso, i prodotti Pentair sono risultati molto resistenti e robusti, superando le mie aspettative. Cinque stelle!

Have three Pentair LED lights installed in my pool for a new home build. After about a year, the lights began going out one by one until all three had failed. I contacted Pentair and they sent a repair guy out to replace all three. It was refreshing to have a company uphold their warranty claims when so many other companies make up loopholes or excuses for why they cannot be resolved. Pentair - you get a five star review for that. Keep it up!

Pentair Fraud Alert, sells Used equipment as New. Buyer beware!

I bought a new Pentair Pool Heater (manufacturer date 05/12/2020 with an installation date of 06/11/2020. The heater is not working and i had to pay to have someone inspect the heater and to let me know that since it’s no longer under warranty I would have to buy a new heater or pay for a computer board (which may or may not work) After spending $ 3,0000 on a new heater, now I have to spend so much more. I would recommend not buying any Pentair products because they obviously can’t really stand behind their products.

Just needed to express my anger with your last firmware update - 2.017. Don't you know how to test this crap to make sure it works - let me help you out on this one - Your Quality Control Sucks! After this upgrade, my VSF main motor lost communication and would not run anymore. I was out on vacation, and come to find out my pool has been off, in this 104 degree temperature. Time for you people to get your act together.

Pentair supplies pool equipment to a variety of distributors around the world including to brick and mortar and online stores.

If consumers purchase pool products from any ONLINE business then your warranty is null and void. Pentair does not inform the consumer of this, in fact its their secret kept between itself and its distributors, brick and mortar store and online businesses. I happened to find this out after I purchased a Pentair Heater for my pool in 2022. I bought it through 3rd party pool supplier who had a 40 year brick and mortar store then closed shop & went online.

The Pentair Heater did not work when it was first installed, therefore a Pentair representative had to come to my home and make those repairs at a cost of $120.00.

Now if I have any more problems with Pentair equipment or my heater than I am sol. Imagine that. I spent $2,899.00 before tax and I was to get a 3 year warranty but got a three month warranty instead. Pentair's warranty is 3 yrs but my warranty reduced to 3 months all bc I bought it online. This is false advertising and I shall take this several steps forward until I am satisfied.

Other's reading this please note that I will advise the BBB, Homestars and the Ministry of Consumer Affairs about conduct of this company and its unfair practices.

Will not follow up to get warranty part scheduled or send parts.

We had a failure of our Pentair Tempmaster heater. Their team sent out their locally based warranty company who identified the issue. Pentair covered the parts under warranty, shipped them out, and parts were installed. Heater is working good as new. The process was solid. Took about 3.5 weeks 'start to finish'. Two tips! 1) Make sure to register your equipment so its tracked! 2) When making a claim, you need to understand that things take time. If you're expecting your heater to work at the opening of the season, 'test it' a month before so you can plan for any issues.

Purchased a Pentair pump 8 months ago on Amazon and the keypad stopped working. After being on hold twice for almost an hour, found out that parts only warranty is available, so I’ll have to pay yet another service call.
