Where Does Pentair Store Pools and Schedules?
Where the Pentair Home app keeps pools and schedules on Android and iPhone devices. Full paths are listed below.
Last updated
Pentair mirrors Hayward layout. Controllers run pumps and chemistry. Account holds equipment and schedules. Phone renders control.
Same email means same pool. Exact cache names shift with IntelliCenter generations. Keep controllers online during swaps. If schedules vanish, check the account first. Builder versus owner logins split homes more often than users expect, and joining the right home restores everything. When in doubt, verify paths inside the app before trusting a remembered folder. Screenshots of settings help when support asks for reproduction steps later.
Where Pentair Pool stores this, by platform
/sdcard/Android/data/com.pentair.pentairhome
Pools follow your Pentair account. Phone holds login and cache. Controllers link over WiFi. Match the email exactly on the new phone.
On My iPhone/Pentair
Equipment lives in the Pentair container plus cloud. Sign in to restore schedules. Phone reinstall never touches controller or cloud history.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Pentair pools to a new phone?
Pools, equipment, and schedules follow your Pentair account. Sign in on the new phone with the same login. Controllers link over WiFi to the account. Verify the home before wiping, since a second account shows empty.
Does Pentair back up pool history?
Yes, in the cloud account for the covered window. The phone holds login and status cache. Chemistry and runtime rebuild after sign in. Export reports from the web for records, since the phone never holds the master copy.
