    Spa not heating properly in manual mode.

    I think that's exactly what I did. Thanks for sharing your experience.

    Spa not heating properly in manual mode.

    I switched the intake with the manual switch on the valve and that worked. I'm still not sure why the panel didn't switch the intake but t the kids are in the spa so I'm gonna call it good enough for now

    Spa not heating properly in manual mode.

    Spa light turns on at the panel and one actuator moves. This is the valve that flows into the main pump so I assume the intake is not switch from pool to spa and is just continually pumping pool water through the heater into the spa and out the spillway. The heater is fine, heating at 104...

    Spa not heating properly in manual mode.

    @Jimrahbe The spillover does NOT stop! How do I stop the spillover? Sounds like there is one more step somewhere.

    Spa not heating properly in manual mode.

    @Jimrahbe, sorry I wasn't clear- it stops increasing in heat. It maxes out around 75deg and doesn't get warmer even though the heater indicates it's going full out at 104F

    Spa not heating properly in manual mode.

    Hi everyone, I have a pentair system intellitouch i9+3 with a heater and my remote is on the fritz. I can get it to do just about everything except run the spa properly. Here's what I do that isn't working 1. Switch system to service mode on the panel 2. Switch valves to spa on the panel 3...

    Trouble with Pentair Mobiletouch 2. Remote won't power on, now pump won't turn on at panel.

    Alright, I got it open with a diamond cutting blade, took it all apart, and I think I've found the problem. The Mobiletouch II has a to and bottom PCB which I cleaned, reassembled, and it didn't fix the issue. I grabbed my magnifier and took a look and found what looks like some damage on the...

    Thanks for the link @ogdento . You guys are giving me hope that I might be able to work this thing back into function. Now I need to get a new dremel blade!

    Trouble with Pentair Mobiletouch 2. Remote won't power on, now pump won't turn on at panel.

    @ogdento , I'll check out the sites and see. There's no damage to the battery- it's not swollen or hot. I'm actually an engineer but right now I can't find out enough to figure out what I'm doing.

    Trouble with Pentair Mobiletouch 2. Remote won't power on, now pump won't turn on at panel.

    Thanks, @ogdento , I appreciate the wisdom. I can try to find a 16V charger to check but right now it looks like I have a bad unit with no good solutions. Amazon has a replacement battery on prime so if it didn't fix it I could just return it. I'll hold out for non-destructive methods on...

    Trouble with Pentair Mobiletouch 2. Remote won't power on, now pump won't turn on at panel.

    It's an analog meter, I switched it up and it's 12V. I have a "switching adapter" which is the stock model- output 12V at 0.6A I can check the base more and more but I'm interested if there are fixes for the remote which suddenly went bad and now has a glitchy screen and will not turn on...

    Trouble with Pentair Mobiletouch 2. Remote won't power on, now pump won't turn on at panel.

    The pins are springy and the remote makes contact. When I put the battery-less remote on the cradle it makes contact and lights up like it has power (the LED buttons are lit). The screen does not come up and pushing the power button in the lower-right corner does not have an effect. edit: I...
