    Hayward GVA-24 Valve Actuator Only Opens Half Way

    Thanks for working with me Jim. I really appreciate it. If you need a few days to go over the following I understand. For now I can run manually until we figure things out. I rarely ran Pool Only mode, so I can't be positive about how it operated, but you're probably right and I never thought...

    Hayward GVA-24 Valve Actuator Only Opens Half Way

    Before reading online yesterday I had no clue how to turn either valve manually with the actuator attached. I know positively that the return would automatically stop midway to achieve the "Spillover" like I described above. "Spillover" is no longer an option at this point. I'm baffled.

    "Tell me again what is wrong with the spillover now.. I assume it just sends too much water over the spillway, is that correct???" The way it's been running today and yesterday is perfect, but keep in mind to get this return valve position I have to turn the valves manually. "How did your old...

    Thanks. Sorry about that, I thought you meant "key" pad and control panel?, haha. Here you go.

    I appreciate all the help Jim and hope it's not becoming a bother. Here's a few more pics. I know the wiring looks like crud and not my doing. Since I know near to nothing about wiring and since it works I've left it alone along with the plumbing since install in '09. Tony

    Hayward GVA-24 Valve Actuator Only Opens Half Way

    Jim, I have a check valve which was not pictured above. See additional pic below and look to the lower right. How is it that when I would select "Spillover" in the past that it would give me what I'm describing above with no additional equipment and not needing to go manual? I just need to...

    Hayward GVA-24 Valve Actuator Only Opens Half Way

    Thank-you Jim. My pool works exactly as you've written, if you don't mind the massive bubbles and gurgling from the spa. When I had the previous spillover set up it would end up in the position you see in the pic above. Splitting the return between both pool and spa avoids the bubbles and...

    Hayward GVA-24 Valve Actuator Only Opens Half Way

    Yes, spillover from the spa was default whenever my pump would kick on. See pics below. To your last question, sort of. It reads "Spillover" on the remote. We would press the corresponding white button and cycle through the three modes, "Pool", "Spa". and "Spillover". Although the panel...

    Hayward GVA-24 Valve Actuator Only Opens Half Way

    Thanks a bunch Jim. Checked out that video and the one that follows it and fixed it in about 10 minutes. Very nice. For some reason I lost my "Spillover Mode" on my control panel and now just have "Pool Only" or "Spa Only". Does this have to do with me repositioning the cams? Of course I can...

    Hayward GVA-24 Valve Actuator Only Opens Half Way

    My return GVA-24 Actuator turns only half way. The only way around this is to go manual. Up until yesterday it was turning a bit more [two-thirds] until this morning when I opened it up and obviously moved something causing this. The reason for opening it was to check for debris or something...

    Heater Q's - MasterTemp 250

    Hi, I have an 18k gal pool and spa. Last weekend my pool guy installed a new MasterTemp 250 and Sta-Rite 48sqft filter. I'm attempting to heater my pool for a party. My goal is 84 deg which I set both the heater and Goldline control box to. Beginning at 74deg, I turned on the heater at about...
