    Pentair Suntouch keeps starting Aux1 Circuit

    I am looking into this for my friend. He has a suntouch system. The other day after the pool maint man left he began having a problem. The blower for his spa turned on sporadically. I looked at his schedules and only see 1 schedule, for pool to run 10-5 daily. I also noticed on the panel display...

    Need help new heater and valve config

    thanks Jim. I'll have to go back to her house and check that. I believe all is well because now I see water in the check valve where as before I didnt. The heater is working fine now so I guess that was the issue and changing the valve position did the trick. I noticed some small bubbles in the...

    Need help new heater and valve config

    thanks all...unfortunately I turned the lid 180 degrees before seeing last post. So I guess I need to redo and turn -90 degrees ?Is there something definitive I can look at on the lid ? Is it simple enough to say that install itso handle will never allow pump inlet to be in off position ?

    Need help new heater and valve config

    thanks Jim. The handle will not move that way, so is it as simple as removing the screws, and turning the lid/handle 180 degrees ? the valve housing is fine as is ?

    Need help new heater and valve config

    thank you, i suspected the same, but questioned my sanity vs the install of the pool company experts. I guess mistakes are only human. My neighbor has gone thru nightmare with this build, and now she needs to wait for service which based on history could take weeks. So I'll change the valve...

    Need help new heater and valve config

    This is not a question on my pool, but rather for my neighbor who just had new pool installed. Without all the lengthy boring details I'll say she had some issues with installer. Took 15 months from first payment to completion. Installer extremely unresponsive. Over 1 year from hole in ground to...

    Need Recommendations for replacement heater

    My Hayward heater is starting to experience issues. I get the 1F error code which I have researched and believe may be just some spider issues but upon removing the cover I see an extreme amount of rust on the components so I hesitate to start tinkering with it. I have owned the home for 9...

    Pentair EasyTouch Transceiver Issue

    Hi, sorry for the long delay...just wanted to share that I did purchase and setup the screenlogic and it works fantastic. I connected to my ORBI router and have not had a single issue or dropped connection in 2 months usage. I can control from android and iphone, and ipad.. and have also looked...

    Pentair EasyTouch Transceiver Issue

    Actually it was specific to the Orbi network connectivity problems and that the connection should be to modem vs wifi, otherwise there are occasional connectivity losses... I did ask him that a second time saying "router not modem correct" and he then said " .. "yeah, modem"...I left it at that...

    Pentair EasyTouch Transceiver Issue

    Im sorry, I just stumbled on to that Orbi statement while researching my Easytouch no comm issue. I dont recall which site I read it on but if I see it again will let you know. I dont think it said much other than there was an issue with it. I have the same network config you described so that...

    Pentair EasyTouch Transceiver Issue

    thanks again .. and not to get too far off the original track, but I'll ask anyway ... I've read where ScreenLogic transceiver has issues with a mesh wifi network such as the one I have with an Orbi router. I did ask the Pentair tech, he agreed there is an issue and noted if I connect to Modem...

    Pentair EasyTouch Transceiver Issue

    thanks Jim. That makes sense as I dont know why an antenna would be damaged by power outage/surge and would expect circuitry to be prone to such. So, I suppose I can get the part number off old one to replace with same. But another question ..since I've been considering the ScreenLogic...

    Pentair EasyTouch Transceiver Issue

    After a recent power outage, I noticed my Easytouch remote said "No Comm". Ive researched and tried all of the methods recommended for reestablishing connection between the the remote and the main unit. After everything failed I called Pentair. The tech walked me thru troubleshooting the...

    Problem controlling gas heater from easytouch system

    I am finally back at the home where the pool issue is. I took the panel off the ET box and sure enough one of the wires to the heater had come loose from the panel. I replaced it and all is now functioning correctly. Fyi, heater does stay in standby mode at all times and when heat is called for...

    Problem controlling gas heater from easytouch system

    sorry for the delay, been away . I can only assume when I ran the new actuator wire into the box I must have disturbed something ... the unit most definitely would turn on the heater and turn off the heater based on reaching set temp, or, whenever I turned on spa and then turned off ... now, if...

    Problem controlling gas heater from easytouch system

    While in STandby mode the ET will not change the mode to pool or spa when heat is called for. Jim R. You are correct, the unit was wired as 2 wire switch option. Unfortunately my ET does not send the "off signal" so the heater just continues to run till it hits the set temp per heater...

    Problem controlling gas heater from easytouch system

    Just curious, my H400 manual does not reference a Bypass Operation mode ... but the H400IDL manual does ..is it possible the H400 didnt have capability to set BO from control panel ? Maybe dip switch settings ? I honestly do not recall ever seeing bo on the panel display either ... if it is a...

    Problem controlling gas heater from easytouch system

    put into pool mode, was set at 85 and I scrolled down a few degrees .. I put into spa mode, it was set at 104, and i scrolled down a few degrees .. I believe it was put in and left in spa mode when the easytouch installed, which i think makes sense.. I tried again pressing mode (while in...

    Problem controlling gas heater from easytouch system

    just so i understand ... if i put the heater in pool mode...the heater will come on and it will show me a set temp (which shows 84) ... but this will not put into bypass operation mode. Is there another step ?
