Not sure understand - I have to replace the wireless indoor remote - Pentair model 522465. Nothing on the panel I don’t think?

Yes that did the trick thanks. Those remotes are close to $300 - I wonder if it can be fixed?

You are a genius or at least smarter than me - it worked. So I need a new indoor remote I guess - no way of fixing it? It looks very sealed up apart from the battery compartment

Thanks Jim. Yes it goes from POOL to SPA and the Filter light comes on when I press the button but the pump does not start. The remote is wireless.

Hi, I have Pentair Easytouch indoor remote and an outdoor panel. I tried to turn on the Spa via the indoor remote by pressing Spa button - the Spa did not turn on - but the light came on instead. Interesting the light button does not work either. When I try and turn on the Spa at the outside...

So I did the treatment. I added Polyquat the day before starting treatment. Water temp was 71F. FC was 0, Ph at 7.2, and TA at 80. I added 3lb of AA. It lifted a lot of the stains - but not all. I added a further 2 lbs after a run to the store. About 3 hours after adding initial dose of AA - I...

Iron test removed stain and then went black a few minutes later. 36 hours later the black area is completely cleared up. The Copper test showed no improvement - so I don't think it can be Copper. Ph was 7.2. FC was 0.5ppm. Water temp about 66F. CYA 40ppm. I haven't tested Calcium or TDS...

OK tested with Jack's Stain ID kit. Looks like it's Iron. Copper packet did not do anything. I'll move onto treatment in a week or so. I just need the water temps over 65-70. It's a bit cold this weekend. Jack's Iron test also went black after initially removing stain (like my vitamin C test). I...

Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately I just ordered it. I'll post the results.

So the pool store said there is no iron or copper in the water. They also said I have zero CYA! I am testing at 40 CYA. It was close to 90 in the fall - but winter rain has replaced probably about 40% of water. Incidentally,the same store said I had zero CYA in the fall too. I stopped using...

Dry Acid did not seem to do much to the pool stains. I tied in a sock and directly on plaster.The black stains (where I had left the Vit-C tablets) are considerably less black now after 24 hours. I tried a very small AA test on one of the steps to eliminate non-active ingredients in Vit-C tablet...

FC 1 (keeping low ready for potential Ascorbic treatment) TA 80 Ph 7.4 CH 300 CYA 40 Is there a way to test for Copper? Also I read some older posts with similar symptoms saying the black stain went away a few days later.

I have never used it - but I have only had the house for a year. Here's a picture. You can see black circles where Vit-C tablet was and then the noticeably clearer spots around it when compared to rest of pool
