HELL YEA MAN!!!! I just bought my home and has one of these in it and I've been stressing over how to turn off the schedule!! Thank you SO SO SO MUCH BRO!!!!
Genius!!!! Perfect!!!! Have always enjoyed your videos on chemical selection, testing and treatment...... but just bought a new house for retirement and it had this system which we wanted to turn on after automatic shutoff and it WORKED (you were the hit of the dinner party😀)! Also now know what we need to do when away and want to adjust temp, Thanks, Steve
Hi, bought a house with one of these systems and found the remote dead after a month. One of the Duracell’s had exploded, I was able to clean all the visible potassium hydroxide in the battery slots and between them. New Energizer Lithium batteries were installed and it started working normal for exactly 5days. It completely died however all 4 batteries were still registering as new voltage (1.7v). I can only guess that perhaps the potassium hydroxide may have corroded components on the circuitboard. How on earth does one open up this remote to be able to access the circuitboard? Any help on this is greatly appreciated!! Thanx, AA
GREAT VIDEO!! Would you please walk me through setting up a solar schedule and where the temperature triggers should be set at. Also, is there a way to delay the solar from coming on so the pool cleaner runs with better flow.
Hi Brett, The best thing I suggest is to be by the controller and give Pentair a call. I have done this a number of times and the techs there are great at walking you through it over the phone. Best to call early AM as the hold time is less. 800-831-7133
Dude, I want to "Thank You" for all the information that you put out on your site. You make things so easy to take care of, your instructions are so clear and easy to follow. When i have issues with my pool, I look up your site for info and Bam...It's there. So Keep it up & again Thank You....
Hi, great video! Can you tell me what the "Cleaner" refers to on this remote? Is that only for robotic pool cleaners? I think we have a suction-side cleaner. We just bought a house with a pool so I'm trying to learn everything. Thanks!
I know this is an old video at this point but hopefully you'll get this comment....we have this same controller and one of the buttons is bad (keeps going on and off continuously). I ran the self test which through a code 4 meaning switches(buttons) failed. I want to change my waterfall button to a different button and get it off the broken button. Is this possible?
Is the super chlorinate mode the same as running cell at 100 percent? How often will you use this setting, and for how many hours? Also, let’s say you program a 3 hour super chlorinate cycle. Is that a one and done or will this run every day for 3 hours? Thank you!
My pool company says I have to buy this from them it cost $2,000 and that it has to been done when they took up the equipment and can not be installed later. I see it loses on Amazon for $1,200. Why can't I just but it from Amazon and install it next year if I want to?
I can not get valve actuator to work, it is stuck on spa mode no bottom vac, and it is compool so no manual override, is there a section in the programming to activate valve actuator?
Robert Balt You caught me answering comments and yours just came up ;). The motor is probably bad. Those CompPool have a 90% fail rate. If your had it installed within the last year or even 3 years in some cases it is under warranty. To get it back into pool suction you will have to remove the actuator and manually turn it: Valve Actuator Removal part 2 of 2 th-cam.com/video/W756cDaaRyA/w-d-xo.html
+Anthony Avelar I don't think that option is available but that would be a great feature to add. I know at a recent pool show Hayward was taking an interest in Kona Labs Wireless pool fill device.
EasyTouch® Pool and Spa Control by Pentair: Ever wonder how to program your Easy Touch System? It is pretty easy. This video will walk you through some of the basics like scheduling and checking the one touch button labels.
+Steve Bender You can set a program run time from 1 pm to have it turn off at 1 pm and that will keep it running for 24 hrs. Easier to just go out to panel and put it in "Service" Mode and then hit "Filter" button. It will keep running now until you take it out of "Service" Mode.

I'm doing this because...according to another one of your videos, I've got a bad check valve and my spa keeps draining down when the pump shuts off. My check valve is hard plumbed in the piping and different than what you've listed.
in the circuit functions menu (under settings) you can set Y/N whether or not that circuit turns on for freeze protection. If you have a variable speed pump, you can assign a speed in your settings for that pump. You choose a flow rate and then assign it to the "freeze" circuit name.
Swimming Pool Tips, Reviews & How To -MrDgvb1 neither the spa side side remote or the remote inside my house turn it on! what can it be? also thank you so much gro the reply!
so the heater itself was turned off. i have a master temp 250. it was on anf warmed up the water 5 degrees but now it turned off on its own. any ideas as to why?
All that is missing is synching. I bought a replacement remote controller. I cannot figure how to synch it to my old receiver/ It is asking for an address by saying NO ADDRESS. Any help?
Swimming Pool Tips, Reviews & How To -MrDgvb1 thank you sir si much for responding. We were told that the lines are full of air? They previously have come over and run the lines and when we called the company this time the guy refused to walk us through it because he said we hadn't registered the product, seriously??? I paid a pretty penny for this system and not to mention this damn remote, I mean come on. What's happening is that when I turn on the spa the water is spilling into the pool therfore it's still circulating so it's not going to heat up properly or take forever. In other occasions it warms up really good really fast.
Swimming Pool Tips, Reviews & How To -MrDgvb1 turns out we didn't turn off the vacuum, oops, lol. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond though. Your videos are very informative.
On the EasyTouch Wireless Controller, how do I assign a high-jet pump speed (3000 rpms) & a low-jet pump speed (2400 rpms) to the AUX buttons? Thank you.
@@SPL Thank you for the response. You are correct. However, I want to assign those pump speed settings to the AUX buttons on the wireless controller. The high & low speeds are already set in the pump menu. Also. I have assigned AUX #4 to Low Speed & AUX #5 to High Speed in the Custom Names menu. But the AUX buttons #4 & 5 do not respond. Any thoughts?

Great vid, easy to follow. Pentair people are impossible to talk to.

Hi, great video! Can you tell me what the "Cleaner" refers to on this remote? Is that only for robotic pool cleaners? I think we have a suction-side cleaner. We just bought a house with a pool so I'm trying to learn everything. Thanks!
Cleaner - just a seperate speed you can set for a suction or pressure side cleaner.
@@SPL Thank you!
Think I got it figured out. Thanks!🙂
I know this is an old video at this point but hopefully you'll get this comment....we have this same controller and one of the buttons is bad (keeps going on and off continuously). I ran the self test which through a code 4 meaning switches(buttons) failed. I want to change my waterfall button to a different button and get it off the broken button. Is this possible?
Yes. If there is an open button it should be easy in the menu
OMG!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! YOUR VIDEO HAS HELPED TREMENDOUSLY:) THANKS AGAIN, MUCH APPRECIATED!

Don't really need it if you dial in your salt system output.
I have 2 clock settings. I cannot figure out how to delete clock setting 2
In "schedules" I have my yard lights set to turn on 7:30 pm and off at 3:00 AM. But they come on in the morning and stay on. Any suggestions?
My hardwired wall unit say no comm..is there a way I can fix it?? Thank you

How do you fill the pool? Is there a button for that too?
+Anthony Avelar I don't think that option is available but that would be a great feature to add. I know at a recent pool show Hayward was taking an interest in Kona Labs Wireless pool fill device.
can you control the valve actuators through the remote?
Yes. By hitting the spa button - it turns the valves from the remote.
thanks for the reply

I have a no comm signal but can't get to where I can fix it. It stays locked on this screen
Same here now.
Great video. Thanks.
how to turn off the waterfall feature
Hey, do you have an email or contact to reach you for some questions please?
If you are having programming issues Pentair has great tech support.
how do you program to keep the pool running continuously?
+Steve Bender You can set a program run time from 1 pm to have it turn off at 1 pm and that will keep it running for 24 hrs. Easier to just go out to panel and put it in "Service" Mode and then hit "Filter" button. It will keep running now until you take it out of "Service" Mode.

thank you....your videos and info are great!
I'm doing this because...according to another one of your videos, I've got a bad check valve and my spa keeps draining down when the pump shuts off. My check valve is hard plumbed in the piping and different than what you've listed.
Is there a freeze control circuit?
+Terry M I don't think so. If the temp is below 36 degrees the pump will turn on.
in the circuit functions menu (under settings) you can set Y/N whether or not that circuit turns on for freeze protection. If you have a variable speed pump, you can assign a speed in your settings for that pump. You choose a flow rate and then assign it to the "freeze" circuit name.
No communication on easy touch
how come i cant turn the heater on for my spa?!?! please help.
Probably the spa side remote has stopped working. If it works from the controller but not the spa side remote then those buttons are no longer active.
Swimming Pool Tips, Reviews & How To -MrDgvb1 neither the spa side side remote or the remote inside my house turn it on! what can it be? also thank you so much gro the reply!
Maybe someone turned off the heater at the equipment pad. Sometimes that will stop it from turning on.
so the heater itself was turned off. i have a master temp 250. it was on anf warmed up the water 5 degrees but now it turned off on its own. any ideas as to why?
I can turn the easy touch on, but none of the buttons on the right light up anymore except instantaneously when the remote is turned on. Why is this?
Maybe the control unit is going bad. How old is the system?
i think 2007
Probably dying. Pretty old. Buttons wear out over time.

Mary Balatti did you ever figure out how
How do I get the spillover to turn off when I turn the spa on?
Should turn off unless the valve actuator is stuck. Check that by the equipment.
