Here is a folder with all of my troubleshooting guides. I have 2 different guides for this issues. This should help. Pool Manuals

When you look at the motor assembly, look at the sensor and see if it's a gray sensor or a black sensor. The gray sensor looks through the holes in the metal plate and the black one has the metal plate slide through it. The black sensors metal plate won't have square holes in it. If the...

I live in Vegas and warming the water isn't an issue in the summer. I remember the salesman telling us that too. I think it's a great thing to have in the desert because of all the dust in the air and in the pool. It definitely helps to automate the cleaning and I would do it again if I lived...

Re: Ultraflex 2/ Caretaker 99 I emailed them over to you. When you replaced the motor did you replace the complete motor assembly with the sensor and PCB? The gray "Look Down" sensor was only used for a short time and they now use the black "pass through" sensor.

Did you finally get this up and running properly?

I just emailed you the troubleshooting guide. Did you replace the PCB at the box as well as the PCB inside where the sensor goes?

Landscape lighting should not be working with the GFCI tripped. Get an electrician out there.

I just had an issue with my relay being bad even though you can hear it click. Swapped the lights to a different relay and all is well. I used a voltage meter to test the relay.

Pool Clown guess what?? You are a savior my friend. Today I learned to use a voltage meter and I now know what a relay switch is and what it does. It was the relay and I had 2 spares on the board that were not in use. I copied the wiring and then swapped the switch and I now have working...

Yes the remote says the lights are on and I can hear the relay click when it's in aux mode.

Yes both lights in the pool don't work and when the system works both lights in the pool work fine. Who repairs lights in the pool? Do I call Jandy or an electrician?

Yes they work perfect when they do work. 1 night every 3 weeks. The pool has 2 lights in it and the spa has 1. Pool and spa are on separate switches.

I have not contacted them. I would like to problem solve this on my own if possible.

A couple months back the 2 lights (120 volt) stopped working and I figured the bulbs simply died. That is not the case because both come on about once every 2 or 3 weeks. Very strange but at least I know it's not the GFI or the light bulbs. Since the work intermittently, and I mean very...

I asked this same question and was told by a Zodiac service tech that we replace the gray part# with the same gray part. That's what I did a couple weeks back and all is well. I was told that we are stuck with gray until we end up purchasing the complete motor unit at $300 from Zodiac. I had...
