Follow-up. It was the transformer. Cheap, easy fix once I had a direction.

I will rephrase my question. Using a multi-meter, is there a way to test the board on my main control panel, if I currently have nothing working on the panel? I am thinking that I MIGHT have damaged something when I terminated the valve actuator, but I don't want to just randomly start buying...

I recently removed the solar panels from my roof. In doing so, I removed the valve actuator and temp sensor. I cut and removed the wires to the actuator. I now have NO action at the control panel! Other than hearing a slight hum (from the transformer?), there seems to be zero result from...

I can offer a little advice, but at the same time, bump you back to the top of the list, for others to read. I have a very similar situation, as far as equipment and pool size goes. For the "how to do it" I assume that the PB left you all the owner's manuals. If not, they are easily obtained on...

Thanks for the bump, even if it still didn't bring a response. So... for future reference: I installed a Jandy IQpump-01 yesterday. (this is on a new Jandy 2HP V.S. pump) It was a very easy installation, just follow the well written instructions. Because to pool was without circulation for 4...

I recently purchased a Jandy variable speed JEP 2.0 ePump. I was under the impression that this would be controlled by my Jandy AquaLink RS, PDA. WRONG!! I am now told, by customer support at Jandy, that only a 4.0 version and newer AquaLink will run the ePump. I have a few options. I am...

Thanks, Mark. I will get more info from Jandy, regarding their VS pump and my PDA. Any yes, it IS the Aqualink PDA that I was referring to. I will report back when I am done. Mike

This pumps the pool AND the spa. Very small set-up. Pool and spa combined are only about 12,000 gallons. There IS solar on the roof that will affect the pump. Single story roof, with about 80 feet of 2" pipe between the filter and the solar. The whole system is controlled, using a Jandy PDA...

I have an 8 year old pool. When built, they installed a 2HP single speed motor. A few people have told me that this was "total over-kill". I have been waiting for it to die, so that I could justify spending the money on a variable speed pump. This morning when it kicked-on at it's set time, I...

Thanks folks, for all the input. I will do some more research on the newer LED's. I have confirmed that there is no junction box between the pool and the equipment area. That is where I will be pulling the new wire to. I was most curious about which manufacturers would fit into the existing...

I have a plaster pool, about 8 yrs old. When built, we had Jandy lights installed; one in the pool, one in the spa. I think that they are called "color splash". ???? They are both failing. I have changed bulbs and the silicone gaskets, but MOST of the lamps are out again. Is it possible...

Thanks, Guys. I thought so, but wanted to be certain. The pool LOOKS AWESOME. It would have sucked to just LOOK at it this weekend. :o) Mike

Hi folks. I cranked-up the run-time on my pump, in order to get more hours of solar heat generation this week. My plan was to raise the temperature for a birthday party this weekend. (Tomorrow) When I increased the run time from 4 hrs to 8 hrs, I didn't think to reduce the % of generation on my...

Thanks, Richard. That is a great explanation. I will play around some more with the Math page. I use that calculator often, but have never taken the time to "play" with the numbers, to see how they (individually and combined) affect the SI reading. Cool stuff Mike

I didn't order a speedstir yet, but I did test the tap water for comparison. As suggested, with the tap water being a lower CL level, I was able to get a nice blue. I then went back to the pool water and was more patient. By swirling more vigorously and for a longer period of time, I eventually...
