Which is better the IntelliFlo 011018 or 011028?
Best I can tell there is no difference between the 011018 and 011028 so the changes must be internal to Pentair for them to change the part number. The 011056 is the Intelliflo version with the rotatable screen. The 011028 is definitely not worth 300 bucks more than the 011018.
