One of our Compool valve actuators is dead and we don't have time to take it apart, diagnose, order parts, rebuild, etc., so only option is to replace it. Has anybody ever replaced a CVA-24T with a Jandy valve actuator? Any compatibility issues or difficulties switching these products? Builder...

I should have mentioned that I did discover that the actuator on the pool/spa return valve was not working at all (was getting 100% spa return regardless of the mode). I removed the actuator and manually rotated the valve. This got my pool returns working, but the spa is still draining. Just...

PLEASE HELP ME! :cry: I'm still having issues that I simply don't seem to be able to resolve. Desperately need advice/guidance... 1. SPA DRAINS. Whenever the system is shut down, spa empties to pool level. It also drains when I tried running it in spa mode. As long as the system is running in...

Re: Regardless of valve settings, 100% spa, 0% pool return f Thanks, Jason... checked the cable and all is well, as expected. It's strapped snugly to the piping, so virtually impossible for it to come loose, and nothing has changed out there in recent weeks. I'm not sure that it makes sense...

Hello all... been lurking here for quite some time and have learned so much! But now I'm finally stumped to the point of tears (well, nearly). SETUP: Very small in-ground pebble “plunge pool” (~5k gal) with raised spillover spa and separate water feature. All valves are Jandy. All equipment...
