    Pentair Easytouch remote transceiver problem - Part 520113

    Just saw this after I posted that I'd replaced the transceiver board. I would be interested if you could repair the board, maybe the main control board too is worth looking at? I'll look to see how to send you a PM on this site. Right now though I'm back off to the pool shed with a shop vac and...

    Pentair Easytouch remote transceiver problem - Part 520113

    Thanks again for your help. I bought a replacement used board on eBay for $150 and it works fine. I've kept the old one and maybe I'll try putting a new comm chip on it using the soldering advice.

Screenlogic is not involved and there is nothing else connected to the...

    I just replaced my Easytouch main control board part# 520712 as the old one was not working due to a power surge (I think). Now I cannot get any connection between my main Easytouch control board and my remote. My remote fcc id is a P4HEASYTOUCH. When I sync the main board to the remote the main...

    Pentair Easy Touch - Main panel display lights when turned on then fades and no controls work

    When I power the controller on, the panel displays correctly. If I quickly press the F-Filter Pump button it clicks and lights Red, same for control buttons. i.e. they work properly. However within maybe 10 seconds it clicks off again and the panel display gradually fades to display nothing...
