    Pentair EasyTouch automation -- random restarts

    Just a quick follow up / status update. I'm pleased to report that I think the problem has been resolved! After unplugging all three com ports from the surge board, the system did not reboot. However, after attaching a single com3 (Chlorinator) the system started rebooting again. I replaced...

    Pentair EasyTouch automation -- random restarts

    @Jimrahbe @ogdento First- I'm incredibly grateful for you time and expertise. It's greatly appreciated! Per your guidance, I disconnected COM1, COM2, and COM3 from the surge board. The system ran all day (well from noon anyway) with NO reboots! This evening I went back out and connected the...

    Pentair EasyTouch automation -- random restarts

    Thanks - I'll test those other items tonight. Last night I disconnected the SWCG so the system could run on the automation today without it -- to see if it was still rebooting. This morning when it didn't turn on at the time it was supposed to, I found the 12V circuit tripped. This happened...

    Pentair EasyTouch automation -- random restarts

    I tested the voltage at the COM port on the main board. The system is “on” but nothing is running. The voltage shows 15A. It might prove to be really challenging to get a reading of this at the instant the reboot happens - sometimes it will run for 3-4 hours and not reboot. Sometimes it will...

    Pentair EasyTouch automation -- random restarts

    Thanks guys - much appreciated. I'll brush up on my multimeter skills and report back... Removing the salt cell from the equation is easy enough... however, I will point out that I did replace the salt cell earlier in the summer. I was previously running an IC40 that seemed like it had trouble...

    Pentair EasyTouch automation -- random restarts

    Jim - I really appreciate your input and ideas. I apologize for the delay. I *thought* I had this fixed, but unfortunately I do not. In the last month or so, I have replaced - EasyTouch UOC Motherboard 520657 (Pool & Spa). This had died thru this, whether it was old age or possibly "burnt...

    Pentair EasyTouch automation -- random restarts

    My Pentair EasyTouch control panel is randomly re-starting. Initially I thought this was just the main circulation pump restarting (which is happening) but upon further inspection, I noticed the LCD panel was basically doing a reboot. The panel will go blank for an instant (as if it is losing...

    Automatic Pool Cover motor only spins one way

    I did disconnect the motor and powered it directly from an extension cord. Motor spins both ways. Seems to me the problem is in the keypad controller. A quick search didn't seem to find this a readily accessible part to just order. Am I missing something?

    Automatic Pool Cover motor only spins one way

    Snap96 - thanks for the reply. I actually disconnected that part so it was easier to manually unroll the cover and put it back in place. Thanks for the tip, I will contact them directly.

    Automatic Pool Cover motor only spins one way

    Hi, I'm new to this site so any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a 20x50 IG vinyl lined pool with an automatic pool cover (the cover rails are embedded into the walls of the pool, it doesn't run over the top on the concrete). This is the 5th year of operation of the pool and the cover...
