Whew! Very glad I found this thread. Thank you for the replies and photos. Why oh WHY hasn't Mayfair/Dolphin included a little slip of paper in the box saying something like "Flat wheels? Don't worry! They are sponges, and will take the proper shape once in the water."

Yep Bob, I would just call Pentair. By the way, I just downloaded the upgrade software file for the sole purpose of reviewing the README file that explains what they've changed. There are numerous bug fixes, so maybe this features thing is one of them? Which version are you running? I'm on...

Thanks fkong777. Yes, I spoke with a Pentair tech this morning (thanks TJ!) and he said the same thing. I'm surprised the EasyTouch documentation is not more clear about this functionality. The manual suggests using ServiceMode and the Filter/Pump button as a way to force the pump to filter 24...

This thread has been very helpful. I too struggle with my EasyTouch. The discussion of how to use Features to set different speeds was something I had never even considered. I have one problem that I just cannot solve. For some reason, when I put the EasyTouch in Service mode, I cannot turn on...

Just wanted to follow up and share what we did about the cracks. As suggested, my pool tech and I did the "tap test" to see if it sounded hollow as a sign of delamination. There were no hollow sounds, nor changes in the nature of the sound when tapping in the cracked or uncracked areas. So we...

Thanks for the reply. I get what you're saying and will try the tap test tonight. If it is in fact delaminated: Would you guess this problem happened since the pool was drained? How big an issue is it? Should it definitely be repaired? Or will it maintain if we just refill it? If it needs to be...

Hi all - Our 1961 18x35 gunite pool has been partially drained for 2 months during a major renovation by a pool contractor. We were told that the pebblecoat was in good shape before it was drained. Now, it has developed hairline cracks that emanate from a point in the shallow end. One of the...

Hi all - We have a heat pump for our pool, but we are in the midst of adding a spa with overflow into the pool. Because the heat pump won't work below about 54 degrees F, we're installing a gas heater to heat the spa when it's colder outside. I'm looking for advice on how to plumb two heaters...

Budster - Thanks much for the feedback. We're making headway, but still a ways to go. Next weekend we hope to pour the concrete equipment pad, then do the install the weekend after. I plan to post more about the experience later.

Hi all - I've searched and read many of the various EasyTouch threads, and also reviewed the Pentair docs, but still have these lingering questions. I could call Pentair, but thought I'd start here for help. See my signature for details of my setup - I'm in the process of completely upgrading...

Hi all! I just found this forum and have already learned a great deal. I'm diving in head first, and over time, hope to contribute more answers than questions. But for now, consider me a newbie. I thought I would do a writeup of my current situation by way of introduction, and also include...
