Sorry I need to rant a little bit. Our pool had a pair of Hayward ColorLogic lights, the original versions that worked very well for 14 years until one of them started popping the GFI. I figured we might as well replace both to make sure the colors matched, and if one light went bad the other...

It allows you to use 3rd party SWGs such as Hayward/GoldLine with a Jandy Panel. Jandy used to support 3rd party SWGs but now if you try to connect a non-Jandy SWG to a Jandy panel, it will lock out all future SWG communications including to a Jandy SWG! http://www.chlorinatortranslator.com/

IIRC you can unbolt the transistor assembly from the heat sink/chassis to release the PCB.

Is anyone successfully using Chlorinator Translator to hook up a Pool Pilot SWG to a Jandy panel?

I would inspect every board for cracked solder joints.

I got 14 years out of mine, rinsing them off 3x per summer. Prior to replacing them the water barely rippled when the pump was on. Afterward it was amazing how dynamic and turbulent the water was.

My control panel is AqualinkD which includes a very nice web UI, and also a web-based All Button panel simulator that got me into trouble in the first place with the color light assignment lol. The AquaLink RS Simulator is at...

How do you un-assign an AUX relay from being a color light on a Jandy RS-8 panel? System setup only seems to allow assigning a color light but not clearing it. "Clear memory" doesn't do it. UPDATE: Apparently un-assigning a color light can only be accomplished with a Jandy One Touch panel...

The Pool Pilot turns on with the pump which is controlled by a Jandy RS panel. No unusual problems there. I'm looking for a way to check salt level, get warnings, turn on boost mode etc. with my phone.

It's 2021 and everything in my backyard I can control from my phone except the Pool Pilot DIG-220. My Jandy panel has later software which no longer works with 3rd party SWGs (thanks Jandy). Chlorinator Translator doesn't work with the Pool Pilot either. What other options exist besides...

Test plugs are available for the DIG-220 tri-sensor connector to simulate actual sensor readings. I'd like to make my own test connector using the end of an old sensor cable I have laying around, but need info about what type and value components should be used for the temp, salinity, and flow...

That's what I was afraid of. That's so 90's.

I have a Pool Pilot DIG-220 which has worked well, but I am ready for a replacement. One reason it that it is the only component of my pool system that has no web or app interface. While my pumps, heater, temperature, lighting, music, and home automation are all accessible on my iPhone, the...
