So I tried to flash the motor again this year after being unsuccessful last year even though @MSchutzer tried his best to help and .....was still unsuccessful, BUT this time I asked my neighbour to use his adapter and we were able to successfully get it working. Very happy with the outcome...

I think I may try it again. Maybe a new year new result. Lol

Thanks. You actually helped me extensively last year when I was trying to get it working and I had problems. I really appreciated the help you put in for me. Unfortunately I could not get that to work and stopped thinking about it until now with the new heater

Did you contemplate at all trying to get aqualink to trigger the signal?

I actually have the same pump as you. So you just spliced the solenoid signal?

I have been trying to understand this and having trouble. I just purchased a new heater connected to my aqualink by rs485 so I can communicate with it through the aqualink app. What I would like to do is once the system calls for heat, to trigger a 24v signal to my Vgreen pump digital input for...

I'm in Erin and in need of a new heater as the heat exchanger went out on the weekend of my LXI 400. Who did you end up going through if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks, so I think my adapter might be bad. I ordered the same adapter as you had posted Tried installing your drivers and it says mine are already the same or newer. Tried uninstalling the drivers (went to the FTDI website to make sure I was removing all the drivers installed, btw you have to...

Your patience is great. So this is what I tried -changed to a different set of wires -swapped the a and b wires after it didn't work -disconnected the usb adapter and tried connecting -added a com wire incase that works nothing helped. I believe maybe my adapter is funky or I don't actually...

Awesome, thanks. I'll give it a go tomorrow and report back. Didn't get a chance today to try again.

Hi Mark, So I tried your suggestions and still no luck My Device manager screen shows COM port Tried check box HEX and the characters stay the same in the TX window When I plug in the adapter the light is solid on the adapter for power and when I press M1 is flashes momentarily. I never see...

Com 3 does show up in device manager for the USB hub. I'll give the tick mark a try tomorrow and give you back feedback

I checked that the wires were plugged in correctly a couple of times matching the a and b because I used the same colour wire I was paranoid about it. I haven't tried typing the codes manually though

Here is a picture of my connection

Hi MSchutzer, thanks for responding. I have the com port assigned as com3 in device manager and I believe that is what I selected when i press M1 this shows and this is the macro box I have the 165 Motor. Thanks for taking a look

I attempted this today and no luck. I have the connections made but there is no response from the motor. Do I need to add a 12V power to the connector on the board? I only have the a and b wires hooked up. The adapter and com ports worked fine and displayed ok on my pc

awesome write up, gonna give it a go. thanks!

My jandy clamp looks same if not worse. Not visible from the pool area so all good.

I have an 8' drain and just blew it out using a small 4 gal air compressor. You don't need much PSI (about 30 max). Some say to install an air fitting in the pump body instead of the drain fitting and use it that way. I remove my pump and go from compressor to the pipe directly using home made...

If you can't find a direct replacement, I've had good luck so far with the "blue devil" or similarly named from amazon. They are universal fit. Work well.

Interesting. I never considered that, makes sense. I'll switch to that method moving forward.

Hang a sock in the skimmer to dissolve slowly. If its not fully dissolved by the next time I check, I leave it in there and count it as another add, so its not really as much as shown in logs. I'm new to this pool so I don't know what normal evaporation is around here, but knowing that I'm...

Thanks Thanks. For sure not kids throwing anything in. The only thing that I thought a possibility might be the high alkalinity? That's really the only number out of whack. I did read a blurb somewhere about keeping the ph low in order to combat scale, but who knows.

Its definitely build up. I can feel the bumps. I would say probably about 1/16" thick or so.
