    Should I change my current pump for a solar heater?

    Haz I really think they did a mix and match. Which they shouldn't have. If you don't want to upgrade to a ps6 or 8 look on the back of the power center board and you may have a spare aux spot. That may be for the 6 & 8 only. This would allow you to add in another relay if you have the spare...

    Should I change my current pump for a solar heater?

    What is hooked up to the solar auxiliary? The actuator is a electronic valve that you can hook into your solar, return, intake or cleaner aux ports. I think the installer either doesn't know what he installed or he ripped you off. You must have talked to Denise at zodiac. I think that is her...

    Should I change my current pump for a solar heater?

    If you add in an actuator you won't need to upgrade to the ps6 and add in another relay. The actuator will hook into the solar port. Your system will automatically see the solar port is used. Go into scheduling and set what time you want you solar on for. Then you can setup your pump speeds. I...

    Polaris pressure side cleaner tail--no brush??

    The little scrubber will probably last a season if you run your cleaner year around. I replaced mine last year and decided to get the tail pro scrubber that clips on. It moves more water and keeps the tail down. I have had it for a few days and noticed it blows the dirt out from the corners alot...

    Should I change my current pump for a solar heater?

    Are you going to be using a actuated valve to divert the to the solar when you want to and when you don't have it just got through the filter. If so you can use the actuated valve and hook it into the solar portion in the upper left corner where it say solar, cleaner, return and intake. Then at...

    I created an App to control pool equipment with smartphone

    Re: I created an App to control pool equipment with smartpho If it is not getting direct sunlight you should be good. I had to move my box it gets direct sunlight for only 25% of the day if that. It was in direct sunlight most of the day and the pi was getting well over its op temp and never...

    Re: I created an App to control pool equipment with smartpho I just added a relay in my aqualink power center box to run my landscape lighting. I installed breaker that hooks the hot side into the relay and then runs out to the gfci. The transformer is plugged into the gfci so I am cutting...

    Re: I created an App to control pool equipment with smartpho Kevin, What did you use to tie into your equipment to allow you to use the app you created. I have the Jandy iaqualink but I am curious what setup you used to communicate w/ the equipment. Looks good. Can't wait to see more...

    Help me not murder my husband!

    That is a super nice pool. Him being nonchalant about pool maintenance is going to cost you more in the long run then taking the 5 mins to test the pool. My wife knows how you feel. I deploy in the military so she is stuck doing the pool maintenance w/ a 5yr old and a newborn. We share the load...

    Power for Outdoor Speakers

    Man that thing is awesome. I went w/ a raspberryPI w/ a small amp to power the two planter speakers I have. I can use my iPad to stream to it via airplay. I wish the amp had hmdi audio input but I can't complain as it is in a nice neat little package. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

    Wife invited 50 people for 4 year old party WTH?!?

    Chemgeek, I think you left off part of the equation. What you left of was the amount of cannonballs vs the total amount of beer flops divided by pi then subtracted by the amount of drinks harley has thinking about how wrecked his pool might get. 8-) Jerry Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk...

    Super clean filters

    That is not a bad idea Richard. Since my wife will be the one managing the pool by herself I might give this a shot. I spent about two hours cleaning those things. I also changed my bag on my Polaris 280 to the sand and silt bag so it will keep the dirt in. It has made a difference in the two...

    Super clean filters

    Wow what awesome clean filters I have. I cleaned those things twice last year. Guess I am going to have to clean these more than twice a year. Wish I had the money to landscape the large hill we have plus install the fake grass by the pool. That would cut down on the dirt and grass that gets...

    iAquaLink control vs. Wall Control or PDA

    $1200 up charge is way to much. I had the PDA system and just bought the iaqualink upgrade the IQ900-RS for $425 which consisted of a new transmit/receive module and RS8 power center. You could get te PDA system and buy the upgrade yourself and just have them install it instead of the RS4 power...

    Determine Aqualink Rev level for conversion to iAqualink

    I upgraded to the iaqualink system and I wanted a rs8 board vice a RS4 board, so I figured if I was going to upgrade might as well bite the bullet and get the iaqualink. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Jandy VS FloPro Variable Speed Pump and iAqualink Review

    I just upgraded my aquslinkrs to the iaqualink. Hook the iaqualink up just like you rs is hooked up. In the jva settings solar should automatically say used. Once you get everything hooked up you need to setup your iaqualink account and initialize the comms box if you are going to use wifi. The...

    Re: iAqualink and RS12? Try checking the dimmer settings or the freeze protect setting maybe aux 5-7 got selected for some reason o check the label aux settings again. If you have the one touch setup check those and if you have your equipment scheduled to turn off and on check those as well. I...

    New Automatic Cleaner

    That doesn't make sense. The 360 is a pressure side cleaner. If you have a booster pump then you will need a pressure side cleaner. You can get another 360 for under $500 or the Polaris 280 for under $500 as well. If you want to catch the dirt I recommend the sand and silt bag which the model...

    I need iAqualink / VSP advice

    I have a router by my equipment. So I just hard wired it into the router. I could never get the wifi part to work. I had it hooked into my MacBook Pro and it all it would say if searching for iaqualink, so I said screw it and just ran the dedicated cat5 cable. I would rather have it that way...

    I need iAqualink / VSP advice

    I found out my board was a pool/spa combo board. I only have a pool. Jandy is sending me a pool only board so I can assign the jvas. Right now it works pretty good. Had to do some work arounds to get my waterfall going. I ran into the same thing w/ the Web interface. What I did was either hit...
