How do you restart a pool pump after it freezes?
Close any drain plugs or valves you may have opened during the power outage. Turn the breakers back on and prime the pool pump by adding water to the pot, replace the lid and turn the pool pump on. Ensure your pool pump and filter are working, and then let them run for one hour to begin decontamination.

What should the temperature be for Pentair easy touch?

Are there any problems with the Pentair easytouch remote?
I have a Pentair EasyTouch system with an 8 channel wireless remote. For almost 3 years now the remote has worked great. Never had any troubles with it. Now for the last 6 months or so, I’m having serious connection troubles. 99% of the time now the remote will just say “No Comm”.
