No. I'm not very familiar with the Easy Touch system but I found a manual and will give it a shot. Thanks

A friend of mine has a 3 halogen Pentair SAL lights in his pool. They are about 15 years old and no longer work. He bought LED boards to replace the lights. I installed them by tapping into a halogen bulb socket to get the 12v needed for the led board. Well now when the old SAL light cycles...

He installed a check valve on the pool return and the spa return. If you look at the return picture, the check valves are the unions after the 90 and the T fittings,

So that's what I thought also, so I had the check valves installed. They are only about 2 weeks old and the drain down problem still exists.

I believe the the blue valve was for a slide that is no longer installed. I'm not sure why they left the ball valve in place instead of just capping off the line. The spa is a spillover style spa. The only thing that changes the waterfall rate from the spa is increasing the return to the spa...

I have a problem with my spa that doesn't make sense to me. My pool and spa are on the same filter/ heater system. I control the heated water flow to the spa by manually adjusting the valves when the heater is on. When I turn the heat on for the spa, I close the pool intake valves for the...

Thanks for the help so far. FYI the model of the heater is LLD255. I pulled the heater apart today and for the life of me I could not find a flame sensor anywhere. The only wires I could find coming from the burners were white insulated wires. One going to the gas valve and the other to the...

Don't know what a Fenwal is but I'll google it and check. I actually found a replacement valve for $167.00 from a local supply house. So I just looked it up and see its the controller, so yes there is a Fenwal controller on the heater. I don't know if there is a flame sensor test on it though.

I still think the gas valve is bad, but the other day, I turned on the heater. On the first light cycle, the gas valve opened and the heater fired up for a few seconds then turned off. Subsequent attempts to light were unsuccessful as the heater never fired up again. I am still leaning to a...

The problem got worse the other day. All of a sudden the burners would not fire up. So I did some troubleshooting tonight. When the heater is turned on, the heater goes through the process of checks and the igniters glow bright orange. I can hear the gas valve click but no gas flows. This...

I don't have any pictures of the equipment pad on me but I can get some this afternoon. The plumbing is pretty simple. The return to the pool/spa goes through the heater whether its on or not, as I assume like most pool heaters. Opening the heater panel shows me the ignition control...

Pool is about 15,800 gallons with a 400 or so gallon spa. The heater is a Teledyne Laars Lite LLD. Not sure what the BTUs are. The heater fires normally and runs fine. The water just never gets hot, only somewhat warm.

I have a Polaris 280 and I just finished installing the tune up kit. After adjusting the wheels per the instructions, I reattached the cleaner to the pool and turned on the booster pump. The 280 didn't move. I picked it up and discovered that if I pull the tension off the idler wheel, the two...
