I have a 406 a. It has died by virtue of rusting out in the bottom. There have been a lot of posts about these water heaters. Nonetheless, we got eight years out of it so I guess that is pretty good. I’m now needing to look into a new pool heater. There is a 407a and a 408a. The 408 is a...

Any further update on these? I am looking to refinish my pool and the eco-finish seems like a good idea, but sounds like it needs extensive prep work.

Was wondering if this is in fact the way to go. I also have a camera and router that I'd like to be able to reboot remotely. Confirmed success?

Thanks for the reply. I'm sure I don't really understand the issues involved, but have looked at a bunch of threads re estimating flow rate based on tubing diamter, bends, filter pressure and vacuum to calculate total head. I think most pools like mine, in ground pool/spa combo, wind up around...

I am in the market for a flowmeter as I have recently installed a variable speed pump. The rola chem seems attractive as it will read to a lower flow than the blue-white, 20 vs 40. If anyone has an updated experience with these two brands, could you post your thoughts? Sent from my iPhone...

Dave, thank you for getting back. We figured it out – I have had a bad Aqua pure flow sensor which we had not yet replaced given the cold weather and was causing the problem. Once we unplugged the eight pin connector everything started working normally. The codes returned to normal as well on...

I have reset the RS touchpad but do not know how to reset the RS controller. I've been a little bit reluctant to do so even if I figured it out because that would change all my settings. However, I guess that might be the next best step and I will write all the settings down. Any other thoughts...

I have a reproducible problem with my RS8 keypad about which I was hoping someone could offer advice. I have a Rev QQ Pool/Spa RS controller with the RS onetouch keypad. It has been functioning fine, and continues to work well -- until now. When I turn on the pool pump, the RS8 onetouch becomes...

Appreciate the replies. Regarding the HP difference, I'd like more oomph in the spa jets. If the increased hp actually makes a significant difference in flow that would be great.

Do you mean you put a Pentair pump on your Jandy RS system and now have gone back to a Jandy ePump?

I need a new pump for my pool. It is a 32k gallon pool with a Jandy RS Aqualink Rev QQ with Pool/Spa combo with 2" piping, Jandy membrane 420 filter and separate Polaris 280 with pump. The water fills and overflows the spa in its circulation; no solar or other attachments. There is currently an...

Re: Advice on equipment replacement So here's some more info. The pump is actually an AO Smith 2.5 hp single speed pump, attached to a Pentair Challenger 345201 PMP CHII N1 1.5F head/impeller. This shows the specs on the pump series. Would you suppose the AO Smith 2 speed would just drop in...

Re: Advice on equipment replacement Thanks very much! I think I have a 1.5 or 2 HP pump now; if I go with a higher HP pump, would I get better spa performance? The jets seem a little weak with the current one. What is the highest HP 2 speed pump available that one can reasonably/safely use...

I have a 30k plaster pool with a Jandy RS-8, JVA, SWG, booster pump Polaris. Current setup is pool/spa, single motor, single speed. The pump is making noise and in fact doesn't power the spa very well. My pool guy has suggested a continuously running variable speed pump would be a good idea as...

I purchased a couple of WaterColors LED lights to go with my RS-8. Somewhere I read that there is a setting in the RS-8 that allows one to directly select the color or scene vs having to switch the light off and on in succession. Anyone have any info on that? Not actually sure which light I...

Re: Pool Control by Autelis for Jandy: Web and home automati I'm not sure what the speed of the connection is, but it may be that the Jandy is the limiting factor. To me it is fast enough, but definitely takes a couple of seconds for the status changes to register, whether accessing via 3G vs...

Thanks for the note. I spoke w/my pool guy and he had favorable things to say about the Rheem/Raypak as well. Just to clarify, since the heater does heat the spa but takes forever to heat the pool, is that a typical sign of end of life for a heater?

I have a ~30k gallon pool and a Teledyne Laars Series 2 250k BTU heater. My pool guy has said the Laars is probably running at 60% efficiency and so is just underpowered for the pool, and is old to boot. It has worked OK in the past but now seems slower than ever. The heater takes forever if at...

Re: Pool Control by Autelis for Jandy: Web and home automati Swancoat has nicely described the difference between remote control and automation. My Pool Control is working very well, and was quite reasonably priced. I have already incorporated the pool light into my backyard scenes so it goes...

Re: Pool Control by Autelis for Jandy: Web and home automati I guess the home automation interface is still extra?

Re: Pool Control by Autelis for Jandy: Web and home automati What is u/g? Also, does the Zodiac/Jandy work over standard WiFi? Does it have a serial protocol to interface with a home automation system? What's the price? The Autelis unit is $295.00.

Wanted everyone to know about this new-ish device, the "Pool Control" by Autelis. I have a Jandy RS-8 OneTouch and had been trying forever to figure out how to get control from the house and also my home automation system. The pool is located 150 ft away from the house, and to run a 4 conductor...

Re: Jandy RS8->OneTouch: Connect to house via RS485 transcei Yes, nothing wrong with anything. Just trying to move the panel inside the house without using wires.

I have a Jandy RS8 which works very well, and also has an AquaPalm attached, as my pool house is 200 ft from the main house. I'd like to have the OneTouch panel, currently in the pool house, moved to the main house for programming convenience. However, as a recent lightening strike in my area...

Re: Jandy PDA motherboard died, want to change to RS232. Adv Could you list the components needed for a Pentair solution and rough pricing? Looks like I'd have to swap the enclosure as well? The Jandy is RS232 addressable. This would work with my existing HA system which has an iPhone...

Had a failure of my Jandy PDA mother board for my pool. It has Pure Link Standard Power Center with salt water chlorinator, a couple of relays for valves, pump (single pump operating both pool and spa), breaker panel and heater control. I have a home warranty (AHS; have read about them on the...
