    Upgrading from Pentair Easy Touch Remote to Screenlogic

    I have a follow up question already. When I go to Amazon for the Screenlogic2 I get two choices "Old" for $667.99 and "New" for $734.97. What is the difference and is there any reason why I shouldn't save $66.98 plus tax?

    Upgrading from Pentair Easy Touch Remote to Screenlogic

    EasyTouch 8 remote won't turn on

    That makes sense since the menu/power button gets the most usage. Currently skimming threads from @jerryt and there are a lot of good options. Hacking the remote is a low risk action as it is already useless in its current state. Thanks for the help.

    EasyTouch 8 remote won't turn on

    My remote is almost 9 years old. It won't turn on. I've put in new batteries and I've confirmed that they are installed correctly. It still won't turn on. Before it completely stopped working it worked intermittently for a couple of weeks. At that time I thought the batteries were dying...

    Help - Frozen Diverter Valves

    Freezing temps in north Texas starting yesterday. My equipment went to Freeze mode but I noticed that my spa wasn't running. The pump is running and I see the fountain in the spa going off and on. I just went out and the diverter valves for the spa have ice on them from the frozen rain we got...

    Polaris gets caught up in the line

    That was the answer. Thank you! I removed the backup valve and replaced it with a swivel. I increased the pump rpm setting for the the Cleaner to 2800 and the Polaris worked like a champ. I ran it again with the rpms set at 2700 and it got all tangled up again. So 2800 is where it is set...

    Polaris gets caught up in the line

    A lot of great input. I appreciate the help. Let me address things by topic. Measurements The depth of my pool is 8.5 feet. The leader hose is 8' so a little short. The measurement from the return line to leader hose is around 22' 6". The end line is 21' 7" so rather than being long it...

    Polaris gets caught up in the line

    I will do as you suggest but in the meantime I will inform you that I've had this cleaner for 3 years and this is a new problem. I should have included in the original post that I replaced the backup valve earlier this year and there could be a correlation between that and this problem. I did...

    Polaris gets caught up in the line

    This is my Polaris every time it runs. I've replaced a couple of the hose swivels and even added one to try to give it more of an opportunity to avoid getting tangled. Yet it still happens every time. As a result coverage and efficacy is poor. I've read about possibly lubricating the...
