Thanks to you, my pool pump is up and working! I had huge family party this afternoon, but almost called it off. With all the pollen and crap from the trees, I needed to do a thorough vacuum. I poured over the manual and found nothing. I tried everything, and after watching video after video, I came upon your 2 minute one above. The pump is working just like new. Actually, it’s only about 4 months old. Many thanks, and rock on!!!
That's awesome! So what, send me like $800 and we both win? Noice! Jokes aside I am happy you found this vid. For your pool guy I can only say that there are many facets to the pool industry. Maybe VS pump diagnostics is not their bread and butter and they just didn't know his trick. Its way less agregious than you might think to not know a simple thing like this. So many pumps. So many brands and little secrets...hidden buttons and menu options etc. I promise the chances of it being a genuine mistake are actually pretty high if you care to give them the benefit of the doubt. Either way, very happy for you. One more note is that with VS pumps you can run into problems with voltage surges causing them to either fry the drive controller or cause a safety reset like what you have here. A lightning strike not too far, surge from your local supply, lots of things. If it kept happening, or just to be prudent, a surge protector on the pump circuit (or your entire main house electrical panel) is a good investment. Good luck!
This video helped me get my pump working again. It didn't restart on the first try, but after following the procedure about 3 times, if finally started. Before that, it would count down the "priming" sequence, but it wasn't actually doing it (priming or running). After following this procedure a few times, it started running again. Thank you!
I just started up my pump yesterday after being off for the winter and it wasn't staying on. Your solution worked like a charm. Heck of a lot cheaper than a service call. Thanks!!
Thanks so much! Running against time to close my pool to the winter and local store suggested me to remove pump and bring them for maintenance...It saved me at least 1K$. Working now after a simple reset!
@@ashleyvereyken to reset you shall have power on it (I had), but I found the cause of the error is that we pressed several times on start/stop interrupting the starting cycle (electric motors doesn’t like this, capacitors dissipate the energy over the controller and provoques error). When starting your pump press just once on start and wait full speed before pressing again if you want to stop.
Thank you so much. We just moved into a new home and your video helped me get the pump going again over the holiday weekend. It’s awesome that you made this video! You rock! 😊
This did not work for my superflow. However, there is a factory reset that worked. You hold down 123 and quick clean for 3 to 4 seconds until the reset starts.
Thanks for the great Vid after a power out my pump was showing 0 RPM. After I reset with your instruction is working . Great VID Keep up the good quality tutorial .
This right here for sure is my favorite kind of comment. Spend that $200 on yourself instead. Pretend the video didn't fix the pump and that $200 does not exist. Spend it guilt free.
Thank you very much for this.! When I went out to my pump it wasn’t running and the little lightning bolt thing was showing. So the first thing I thought of is there’s a power issue. But then I found your video and did this and everything is running fine however the lightning bolt is still on so I’m wondering I guess it’s on all the time but I never noticed. Thank you again!
Super helpful tip! Totally got the pump to come back on and respond to controls. However, now the impeller is running in reverse and actually sucking from the return line. Any thoughts?
Can my pool pump go into safe mode if our power went out do to a storm. I noticed or pump is not coming on at the scheduled times. However if I put it on manually it will come on.
Hey Steve have you ever encountered an issue where all the dashboard lights are solid green (some water intrusion behind the screen)? Tried the reset, without luck. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
Great tip. My pump display is completely blank, no display or LED indicator lights on, as if there was no power to the pump. I have confirmed the pump has power. Will this solution fix this condition, or only it the control panel shows power?
Hello. I have a SuperFlo VST 342002. Installed April 2022. While I was traveling my pool had a leak and the pump ran dry for about an hour. Very concerned it was damaged, but appears to run fine. I wondered if there was thermal protection in it. It looks like there is based on this. Is this correct? Thanks
Can you flip the display screen? Mine is in a corner and upside down making it hard to read. Seems like you could take just the screen part and flip it, the lid would still open upside down but at least it would be easier to read while hovering over it. Do you know if this could be done?
Just noticed the other day that my pump isn't working. Pump timer has power and is working. As far as the Pentair SuperFlo VS 342001, I noticed that lights on control panel would blink once every 18-20 seconds and don't completely power up. Also just a thought, we lost some power twice within for about 20 minutes within a week (last week of February 2121). I'm remotely a handyman so I don't know if it had an effect on the pump. What are your thoughts? Thank you.
M wiring had filled with water from an unsealed hole during the installation, we figured that out and replaced it so that the pump works now (I was only getting green dots lighting up). However the display is not working right, it blinks half of things and the numbers just don't make sense even trying this fix. Any other tricks or is that top piece bad now?
I have a Superman VS that won't start. I tried this to see if it was in Safe Mode but nothing happened when I hit the 1 and +- buttons except the display light started flashing. I tried to do a factory reset by pushing 1234 buttons at the same time but nothing happened there either. I cut the power to the pool completely and turned it back on as a last ditch effort and nothing happened, still just the flashing display and the pump won't start. It's connected to an Easytpouch panel and it's on a schedule but didn't start. Thanks for making all these videos, makes pool maintenance way easier! Any other suggestions you think I should try?
I know all this about the pump already but im facing a weird issue =[ mines displays zero and will not start the program although its set, it wont even start it when i turn it on and press the program number.. the screen displays a 0 and nothing happens, any idea you tube community, thanks
My pentair superflow vs pool pump is giving me error code 001A and won’t turn on and my pool is becoming green. Will this work on it or do I have to buy a new drive? Please help!
Will be sweet when this happens while you are out of town…awesome to have a super-sensitive computer on the back of your motor. Really, if willing to suffer this for saving dimes on a power bill..rethink owning a pool. IMO

Sir, I did exactly what you advised; pump running immediately...........God bless you!!!
Our pool man said we need a new pump @$1600.00 with installation, I did your reset and its totally fine. Thank you for saving us a lot of money.

Did you have any power to yours at all when you did this? Mine doesn't seem to have power at all. I tested it and there is power going into it though

Thanks for those instructions. I could not start my pump after the storm. Now is running. Thanks for a great video.

Thank you so much for the video. I followed your instruction and our pump was working again.
Yay! Thank you so much! My pool pump is up and running. Saved us a needless repair bill.
I had this issue today. Thank you!! Love there is an option to learn something new and save money + stress
I had error code 0021 on ours and this worked! Many thanks!
Thanks..your instructions were terrific!
Worked amazingly well. Many thanks. Got error 0021 and this solution fixed it.

Ok, I’m an idiot. It wasn’t running in reverse. I had the outflow valve closed.
Ok. But then what do I do to get the pump to start again after this? When I relearn the times and speeds they just flash at me.
Can my pool pump go into safe mode if our power went out do to a storm. I noticed or pump is not coming on at the scheduled times. However if I put it on manually it will come on.

Can the LED screen be replaced if it has been damaged? My screen is only displaying digits in the last two columns to the right on the screen.

Worked great. Thank you
How to you clean the impeller on pump … possibly dog hair
Mine is throwing a err 0018? And can’t seem to find out what that code is. Ik the 002 code just not the 0018 code?? Any ideas? Thanks
Does anyone know why this keeps on happening and how I can fix it?
Pool motor has no display but checked all breakers and power and I do have power and the breaker is on. Is this what I need to do?
How do I get it out of Ext Control Only? It appeared on today and I can’t get the pump to run like normal.
I know all this about the pump already but im facing a weird issue =[ mines displays zero and will not start the program although its set, it wont even start it when i turn it on and press the program number.. the screen displays a 0 and nothing happens, any idea you tube community, thanks
My pentair superflow vs pool pump is giving me error code 001A and won’t turn on and my pool is becoming green. Will this work on it or do I have to buy a new drive? Please help!
Thank you did a reset, and still won’t turn on. I have lights but I just here a click only. Can you help please
I tried this and all it did was the LEDs just kept blinking still no display. Please help
Got any ideas for a totally blank screen? I even swapped the drive, still no lights on.
What did you find? On my pump all the leds are constantly on and nothing on the display screen. Don’t know what is wrong
@@HowToDoitright I have this same problem now, after only have the pump for a few weeks. Did you find the solution?
@@HasserVision I had to install a new controller on top. It was an easy swap but they are expensive.
@@HowToDoitright Well, I certainly won't pay to replace it. I'll just return the entire pump first. I purchased it a month ago!
What if it won't come out of safemode
Thank you
My display all the sudden is not working and don’t know what to do
Will be sweet when this happens while you are out of town…awesome to have a super-sensitive computer on the back of your motor.

Awesome thanks
I have ERR 08
Pump won't come out of safe mode after following these instructions
After doing all this, keeps showing an Err message😢
me too I have error 1A I cleaned the impellar also
Didn’t work for me. Thought it would. Was teaching kid to backwash and waited too long
thank you
