Product details
The Pentair 471566Z is the thermister probe used across the MiniMax heater range and on the ThermaFlo titanium heat pump. It is the genuine Pentair part.
What it does
The probe is the heater control board only source of water temperature. Everything the heater decides, when to fire, when to satisfy the set point, whether to trip, follows from what this probe reports. When it drifts, the symptoms look like control faults: short cycling, overshooting the set temperature, or a heater that will not fire on a cold pool.
Fitment
Pentair lists this probe against a long list of models, and the source gives two slightly different versions of that list. One names the Thermal Flo heat pump along with MiniMax CH, NT STD, ST STD, LN and TSI heaters with 6800 or DDTC controls. The other names MiniMax models 150 through 400 in NX STD, NT TSI and NT LN forms plus the ThermaFlo titanium heat pump. Both are reproduced in the specifications above, so check your model plate against them before ordering.
