Pool School: How to Program Your Pentair Easytouch Automation by Presidential Pools, Spas & Patio
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 січ 2016
- This session of Pool School by Presidential Pools, Spas & Patio Service Manager, Bill Watson, explains how to program the Pentair Easytouch Automation Panel.
This is the best video concerning programing the Pentair Easy Touch Programing. It is well worth watching. I had to reschedule my Pentair and watched this again after 5 years.
If I lived where Presidential Pools operates - I would only use them to clean and operate my pool. Thank you.
This is the MOST helpful walkthrough of Pentair equipment on the Web. Thank YOU Presidential Pools!
Thank you Bill and Presidential Pools ... BEST overview and instructional details on my Pentair Easy Touch panel!
Thanks for this. I learned more from this than from any of the pool service people Ive asked for help. Great service!
Thank you! This is extremely helpful! Our pool installer had someone come out for Pool School - and you are right - it was a lot of information way too fast for our 50+ year old brains.
53:30 This part about setting the Egg Timer would definitely come in handy. Thanks for making it easy to understand!
Outstanding demo video that helps novice to expert.
Thanks!
WOW. This is an excellent video. I wish the Pentair rep would have told me about this after his “10 minute” poolside primer. My local pool rep doesn’t even know this stuff. Thanks!
I'm a bit confused regarding the salt cell portion of this video. Is the guy saying I need to have my pressure side cleaner run for the ENTIRE time I want high speed pump? If so, that's crazy, given the power consumption needed for the cleaner pump is quite high.
I've struggled to find a way to implement high and low speeds for the pump and decided to wire the salt cell to a different relay and just schedule when it should come on or not. That said it will only produce salt when the high speed is running. Wish I could get the salt cell to produce salt in the low speed feature setting.
Soooo soooo helpful! Thank you. I finally have hope that I may figure this out!
Found this video today and it was very helpful
39:58 The advice to run your salt cell (filter/pool) from 10:00PM to 8:00AM and also have your cleaner come on at 2:00AM to 8:00AM works perfect for my salt pool. I have a somewhat large pool (37,000 gallons or so) and live in a very hot climate in central CA. With that schedule and my salt set at 80% it keeps my pool in the 3 to 5 ppm chlorine range. Sometimes I need to bump it up to 100% for a bit and sometimes I need to drop it a bit but for the most part my pool is clean and clear with his schedule suggestions.
Great video. Answered a lot of my questions, but I still have a problem. My spillway schedule is set to run from 7am to 8pm each day, but it continues to cycle on and off about every 10-12 minutes. Which would almost sound like its in an egg timer sort of mode but it is not. It's really driving me crazy. We never had this problem before and haven't messed with the schedule at all. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Do you have detailed instructions on how to properly connect a VS pump to an auto controller?
How do you know (when creating a schedule) what speed you're selecting?
Thanks for this! I haven't found one pool maintenance person that knows how to program these. This one hour video is going to add years to my life! I know this posting is older but I have a question. In schedules - I don't have "cleaner" mode. Is that normal? I have "Pool" and here's the odd thing - It has the "Spa" option but we don't have a spa but next to it it says "1" like it does next to the "Pool" option. So it seems like that's indicating its connected? Could this be the cleaner but wrongly named?? Thanks if you see this!
Hello, I have a question. On my outdoor panel, there is a red light blinking. It says see indoor control panel if flashing. I don't see anything on my indoor control panel. Can you help me figure out why it's blinking and how to stop it? Everything seems to be functioning properly. Thank you very much.
I’m trying to setup a Pentair Easytouch Control System with 8 spots with a Intelliflo VS pump. I’m trying to make a schedule with 4 time slots that continues to run 24/7 and I want each time slot to have a different pump speed. Example #1 5am to 9am at 3,000 rpm’s, #2 9am to 4pm 1,550 rpm’s, #3 4pm to 11pm 2,550 rpm’s, #4 11pm till 5am 1,000 rpm’s. Can you tell me how to accomplish this. I had it programmed on my pump but now the pool company installed the easytouch control system and they saying it can’t be done. I don’t believe that.
I’m very confused since I bought this house and have this kind of system that’s new to me. Do you have something fir beginners?
I have switched out my pump century for century when I put power on the motor goes on regardless of the filter indicator, I checked in pump status and it shows no comm connection, does new motor need to be reprogramed?
very helpful but the water pump still runing any knows why
I’m a pool Pro. This was a very informative video!
I want to program my spa blower to run for 5 minutes during my pool cleaner program so it agitates the spa water. Can this be done?
Thanks for this. So informative. I finally got rid of my 9 schedules! :) However, we didn't get to the solar heat issues. Could you tell me how to make sure my solar heat is on when I'm trying to heat? Will it work while the cleaner is on?
Tricia Rhodes I agree. I had to flip my laminar breaker off because I didn’t want them to come on 7 times...
Can you provide quick instructions on how to drain my SPA into the pool so I can clean it? I would also like to set a schedule to drain the SPA weekly so I can clean it and then allow it to refill after a couple of hours. Is is possible to schedule that?
great video!!!!!! THANKS
Do you have a video on how to calibrate air temperature mine is off by 8 degrees
The GFI breaker on my EasyTouch keeps tripping off. The electrician that installed my EasyTouch to my Intelliflow VS pump says that it is pump that is making it do that when it switches speeds. Is this possible??
I had the same problem. Make sure it’s a Pentair breaker. It has to be a Pentair breaker.
Hi- Great video. Any thoughts on why the Filter Pump light is not turning on when the scheduled cycle happens? It used to turn on but I think my pool guy screwed something up. So my salt cell is not on when the pool filter is on. Any help is appreciated.
I have been training as a pool tech for a few months. Does anyone know if there is some type of online interactive simulator to help you get a better understanding of how to read pool plumbing?
Great video. Question: Can you have more than just two speeds scheduled? Say I want my low speed circulation at 1600rpm and my high speed cleaner mode at 2700rpm. But...I want to run my water feature (so spa water is circulated because my spa has a water fall into the pool) but I don't need the water fall running at 2700rpm and 1600rpm is too slow to do anything more than dribble water over the edge. Could I set a separate schedule to have the waterfall running at 2000rpm?
You can have up to 8 different speeds programmed. You should be able to go in to your Intelliflo settings menu and change the speed for your Spillway circuit to whatever speed works best for you.
Thanks excellent description.
Excellent video. Thank you!
Excellent explanation. Congratulation.
I am sure I have a single speed pump on my pool. Why would there be a cleaner function on my easytouch panel if the pump always runs at one speed. Would I need to set up a schedule for the cleaner function or is the cleaner function always running anyway. Any help you can give is appreciated.
I am assuming we did not build this pool or it’s older before variable speed pumps were the only option. The different pump speeds only pertain to variable speed pumps. If customers have multiple pumps connected to different relays inside the panel a schedule can be set to run each pump if they choose to do so. For your situation, if you only have one pump and that one pump is single speed there would not be a reason to have multiple schedules just have one scheduled to run the pool for 8-10 hours or so as needed for the size of the pool.
@@prespools Thanks for your help.
Thank you for the detailed walk through. This is very helpful. I have a Spa as well and whenever my schedule kicks off every morning, I see Spa on the screen by default. Is it because Spa is set as Schedule 1? There is a overflow pipe on the ground and it spits out water. But if I press F again the system shuts off. Pressing F again shows Pool on the screen and the pump is active but no water is being spit out of the overflow pipe. Is that normal?
very quick question what if the POOL line says 1/9 NOT 1/1--- How do i make it 1/1 not 9
Additional schedules have been added…probably by accident. Bill covers how to delete the extra schedules at about 27:30 into this video.
I tried to call the programmer that coded this system to chew him out for making it, pretty much, as unuser friendly as humanly possible. Unfortunately, when I called him, I couldn’t successfully navigate his phone menu.
Question, I’m dog sitting and they taught me how to use the pool a while back when I was here the last time. I turned on the spa to get it warmed up for later. When I did that it turned off the water fall/feature thingy that flows into the pool. It had been on since I’ve been here. Did I turn it off when I turned on the spa? Is there a way to turn it back on? Or should I just not bother it. I’m using the Pentair easy touch wireless with the 8 buttons. Thanks!
When you turned on the spa, valves rotate to isolate the water flow to and from the spa so the heated water only returns to the spa so it can be heated. There should be a button labeled Waterfall or Water Feature if you want to turn the waterfall back on, but it’s not necessary especially if you intend to use the spa again.
@@prespools thanks!
Any remedy for setting up a scheduled spillway(spa overflow)? Especially if all options from F to 7 are occupied?
Hello ,
I have pentair pool and spa .
I just turnoff 2 days back and I forgot to turn on the system then it went of sleep mode I am not seeing any light on the menu board .pls suggest me where can I turn on the power on the main board ??
My freeze protect circuit is defeating my heater from warming my pool above 70 degrees! It's in an enclosure, so energy wastage is not a problem. I have the simplest Easy Touch system. Anyone have any ideas? Pentair is not responsive. Thanks.
Our Service Manager suggested to go into the settings>circuit functions and make sure freeze protect is disabled on all circuits other than your low speed.
@@prespools Thanks, I'll try that. I have a single-speed pump, but it still should work.
Navigating on the basic board is made difficult by Pentair's decision to create an arrow-based navigation menu without an ENTER key. They should win an award for that.
Aux button 1 is my pool light. I need to push it 2 times to turn light on ? why ?
The button triggers the relay in the panel to engage the feature, they should normally hear a click when they press the button. The relay could be sticking, or they are not pressing the button hard enough or pressing and holding it too long.
I put it in timeout, turn on cleaner and filter pump, LED indicator lights come on but nothing happens. In auto, everything works. What am I doing wrong?
Timeout mode is designed to disable all devices and features. An example would be a repair has been completed and needs time to set or cure before anything runs. Perhaps you are confusing Timeout Mode with Service Mode. Service Mode disables scheduled run times but allows you to operate everything manually.
Should my water feature and bubbler be on when the water is cycling daily?
Do you have a booster pump that runs your features? We would need more information on how your pool was setup to answer this.
I had my spa light changed recently, and everytime I hit the spa button to warm it up, the spa starts to drain... Obviously the pool guy hit something to make this happen, I just don't know how to reverse it?
Probably just a coincidence. Either you have a bad valve actuator on the return side or someone may have accidentally turned the actuator off. Check the toggle switch on the actuator that is on the return side. Here's a good video that explains how the actuator works: ua-cam.com/video/btj792gZ268/v-deo.html
My remote lost connection in a power surge. How do I get that connected again?
Hard to answer without knowing which remote you have, Pentair has/had three different remotes two handheld and the Screen Logic wifi phone app. They would all be completely different. You can try resetting all the breakers in their pool panel and see if cycling the power fixes it. Otherwise, we recommend calling Pentair customer service and troubleshooting over the phone with them 1-800-831-7133.
Can you set your Pentair EasyTouch back to factory
What would be the best easy touch system to get, If all I'm needing is
2 hrs (1 speed) pump.
2 LED lights tied together (hopefully on same switch)
Salt generator
Thought about adding 4 deck jets (not sure if I would need a 2nd pump, or maybe a diverter controlled by the easy touch)
You would need the EASYTOUCH 4PSC-IC40 SINGLE BODY CONTROL W/ SCG (520593) and you could add the valve actuator if you wanted to run the deck jets with your existing pump.
Is it possible to have a gas heater turn on automatically with your pump schedule?
Thanks for the video. much appreciated. I have a question - in service mode, when i turn on the Filter Pump ON, it does not come ON. What could be the reason why the filter pump does not come up. in all other modes, if i put the Filter mode ON, it comes ON. how do i solve this issue
Assuming you have a variable speed pump, Service Mode disconnects communication from the pump and the pump is then cotrollable from the display on the pump. Hope that helps.
I cant get the pump to tun on from the panel, i have to turn it on at the pump, how do i fix this, or where in the video does it say how to fix it, maybe i missed it.
Do you have the pump connected to the panel with a communication cable.
Here's a video on configuring the pump once you have it connected. ua-cam.com/video/R5rwKOwdXYI/v-deo.html
My system is an older one with out the mesh screen. Can you help me?
Please contact our Service department at 480 967 4081
This is a great video!!! Thank you. Question, on pool it shows 1/3 but want it to go to 1/1. When it shows 1/3 it does not let me move over to the 3 to change to 1 how do I do it get to the 3 to arrow down to 1?
The 1/3 means that you have 3 schedules and are on the 1st of the 3. If you do not need 3 schedules, arrow down to 2/3 and 3/3 and delete them. Additional schedules are often added accidentally and are easily deleted if not needed.
Thanks for the video. In my setup, i have 3 actuators that need to turn when switching from pool to spa mode.how do i program this? Is it possible?
If you have the Easytouch Pool & Spa panel, you can control up to 4 actuators. The suction and return valve actuators would turn automatically when you switch in or out of spa mode. A third actuator could be programmed to operate at the same time. Contact our Service Department if you need additional assistance with this programming.
how to adjust water pump with easy touch timer at the same time
Great intro. Thanks
Can easy touch be used with a regular one speed pump??? Thanks
Yes,
Mark, it sounds like you're talking about the aerator. There is a valve at your equipment labeled aerator that controls the water flow to it. The main purpose of the aerator is to help cool the pool water in the Summer. Feel free to contact our Service Department at 480-967-4081 if you need additional assistance.
When my filter pump button turns on the heat button turns on to, how do I reset that or make the heat button not turn on ?
Hi there. You need to turn off the heat from the panel. Press the menu button, use the down arrow button until the cursor is on Heat and press select button. Press select one more time to enter the heat controls for the pool and in this menu the heat temperature will be flashing. Below the temperature it will say Heat: Heater if they want to disable the heater it needs to say Heat: OFF. If they press the select button one time the Heat: Heater will begin flashing, they will need to either press the up arrow or down arrow once and it will now say Heat: OFF. To save their settings press menu button three times to go back to the main screen and then you are done.
@@prespools thank you
@@prespools have another question. Can I turn on the spill way without using the spa jets ?
@@joepoblete4263 The spa jets are what introduce water into the spa so that is the only way the spillway will run constantly.
How do you add low voltage landscape lights to Intelli-touch?
Kris C
You would need to have an available relay in your Intellitouch and you would have an outlet added that you could plug the transformer for the landscape lights into that would be controlled from your Intellitouch. If you use the Intellibrite Landscape Lights you could even sync the color of your landscape lights with your pool light if your pool light is Intellbrite as well.
What if you only have 1 speed pump? Do you not hook it into F But into the cleaning mode?
With a single speed pump there is no need to have a cleaning mode as it is either on or off...filtration and cleaning are the same thing with a single speed pump so your cleaning will happen at the same time as filtration.
Thank you. That's what I thought but wanted to make sure.
We recently changed our internet provider. Where can I change it in my Pentair ap??
A few things you can try: Press the reset button on the white Pentair Protocol Adapter in your home that is plugged into the router/modem. If this does not fix the issue an update to the protocol adapter may resolve the issue. You can find step by step instructions at: www.pentair.com/en-us/education-support/residential/product-support/pentair-pool-and-spa-software-downloads/screenlogic-update.html - If you do not feel comfortable running the update Pentair customer support 1-800-831-7133 can help over the phone if you allow them remote access to a computer or laptop connected to your home WIFI. Hope this helps!
great video, thanks!
We're glad it was helpful!
We have this control panel and we cant see the screen anymore. is there a fix?
Unfortunately, there is not a simple fix. Did it gradually dim or was it sudden? Pressing the Menu button twice would refresh the display, but if you see nothing you will most likely need to replace the controller circuit board.
Thank you for replying.
We can still see some information . We can make out some words an numbers but it's difficult. In winter when the temperature dropped below 32 and it automatically turn on we where able to see the screen. But the next morning it was back to how it was. I'm going home now and I will press the menu button twice to see what happens
What do you think?
how to set up vocume runing 2 hours a day
I am new. How can I be sure my cold weather protection is enabled?
Ever get an answer?
I think it's a fail safe, if you air temperature sensor registers under certain temperature your equipment will kick on to prevent your plumbing from freezing
Expose your air temp sensor to cold! should set off freeze warning
But thanks for this video anyway for people who already have this equipment
there is a white peace sticking out of the pool (2") is that a water feature as well? thank you
Mark, it's hard to know what that is. Does it stick out from inside the pool or outside the pool?
Inside oN THE EDGE my brother in law said it's like a WATER FOUTAIN. I don't know how to turn it on if it is that.
Sounds like an aerator
At 55:34 what does SS: N mean/do? Thanks
SS: N (Smart Start) is displayed if a light circuit is being scheduled
How you know how many hours it's running on high speed (cleaner)
The schedule programming explanation starts at the 23:00 minute mark...once in the Schedules you can select the Cleaner schedule and it will display the run times.
Thanks, I saw all video and I found out.
Thanks.
I like your videos
How to see the cleaner speed?
And what happens if the cleaner function doesn't go on at schedule we add it?
You need to show in your comments the time stamps for various parts of your video. I'm not going to watch for an hour to see if you address my question (solar/synch programming) in your video. I want to be able to jump to it. I'm not giving this a thumbs down but not getting a thumbs up either.
Thank you for the great suggestion! We will work on getting those in place. We don’t have a lot of solar installations so I don’t think it was covered in any of our sessions. If you gave a specific issue I can ask our team to get you some advice.
Here’s a link to a video on how to check: ua-cam.com/video/_td7b6eaHEI/v-deo.html
Help code 4 what can I do to trouble shoot this
has anyone counted how many times he says "does that make sense?"
He says it a lot but I've taught technical subjects such as this before and it's better to keep asking that to make sure your audience is able to keep up then to assume they will speak up. They won't speak up and then you go on for 10 minutes and have to backtrack when you finally do ask everyone if they understand.
That is the problem with Pentair everything they make it so complicated Hayward is much easier that is what I install for my customer much simpler
what a bad audio!!!
horrible explanation of the service and timeout functions
HAHA, that is funny, 0ne hour class to run EASYtouch Automation Panel.
