    wiring review Black and Decker w/ automation to Aqualink pannel / experience random pump stop and restart

    Thanks now if I could just figure out why in auto mode it hates the pump running but it's fine is pannel is in service mode or running it from the pump itself.

    wiring review Black and Decker w/ automation to Aqualink pannel / experience random pump stop and restart

    Awesome Thanks! OK sounds like all is well then, and if at 1200 rpms there is no overflow I guess bonus! Ok so it will not fry the unit? 😃 no cats dogs mass hysteria etc... Thanks again

    wiring review Black and Decker w/ automation to Aqualink pannel / experience random pump stop and restart

    So the overflow is still good/bad but maybe expected unless the vsp is running at the like rpms of the old pump 3200+ it just cannot get enough pressure in the spa to travel up to the raised spa amd trigger significant overflow. @gkw481anyone with the vsp pump amd automation board, do you know...

    Wiring in black & decker vsp to pro logic with automation adapter

    Ouch sorry to hear. What have you been doing instead? Today I reset the program speed for speed 2 "medium" to 2500 to match the yellow wire speed ran it for a bit and did not see the issue when yesterday it would not run past 1 or 2 minutes without doing it... not willing to call ot a fix, as I...

    wiring review Black and Decker w/ automation to Aqualink pannel / experience random pump stop and restart

    Thanks I actually cleaned the filters and continued to brush and vacuum the pool to try and keep it as clean as we could. Still just seems like the volume is less but we did step down from 2 1/2 on the suction side to 2 inch pipes... maybe that's it? It is maybe also worth noting the...

    wiring review Black and Decker w/ automation to Aqualink pannel / experience random pump stop and restart

    Do you mean on the pump itself? Yes, it was set to manual. What is interesting is that is I leave the breakers off and use start/stop runs flawless. I noticed that speed speed 2 was set to 1500 when I flipped to Program mode or selected speed 2 from manual. I changed the program speed for speed...

    Wiring in black & decker vsp to pro logic with automation adapter

    Goodness. I have the 3hp B&D and the calimar automation panel hooked up to aqualink and my pump spins up and spins down. Just hooked it up today. I did set the clock, and turning here for advice. 😮‍💨 @Golfer2000 Had You seen any changes or found a solution since January? What is the current...

    wiring review Black and Decker w/ automation to Aqualink pannel / experience random pump stop and restart

    So just finished hooking it all up thank you all for the ideas and feedback. Here is my final wiring. The pump is directly wired to 240 w/ 20 amp breakers. I flipped the dip switch 3 on for the aqualink pannel to "trick" the box to allowing 2 speed with automation. However I have not really...

    wiring review Black and Decker w/ automation to Aqualink pannel / experience random pump stop and restart

    Thank you @ajw004 and @gkw4815 much appreciated! The fireman's switch is basically the button on the aqualink pannel, yes? I may need to pull that out and see the guts behind it. However I know I have to hit the heater button to get heat.

    wiring review Black and Decker w/ automation to Aqualink pannel / experience random pump stop and restart

    Yeah they didn't do me favors in alot of places. However I do have photos of all the pipes before they were buried so maybe I can track them back? Maybe a needle in a hay stack but can try. The 2 middle valves towards the right are the bubblers on the ledge. The left valve and the right are...

    wiring review Black and Decker w/ automation to Aqualink pannel / experience random pump stop and restart

    Well bummer so even the slower waterflow.. I have an automated divert valve but not sure if it's in the right section or what I need and would need to figure out how what and when to enable that at some point. Thanks for looping and including me in that concept. My Jandy pump died about 2 weeks...

    wiring review Black and Decker w/ automation to Aqualink pannel / experience random pump stop and restart

    Unfortunately the pool was built to always have overflow from the spa on when the filter pump is on. Aux 3 is the waterfall breaker and we hardly ever use that. Right now all but the 2pd pump which I manually flipped are marked off. My Ph always rises like crazy and I would definitely want to...

    wiring review Black and Decker w/ automation to Aqualink pannel / experience random pump stop and restart

    Ok did more thought here. Version 4 what do you think? Is 3 or 4 better? Moving the 2 120v w/ the 20 amp breakers to direct wire the new B&D VSP. Then replace the 2 120 lines w/ 20 amp breakers on (Waterfall) Aux 3 with 2 120 w/ 30 amp. Daisy chained the lines to Aux 1 A/B (Spa Bubbler) then...

    wiring review Black and Decker w/ automation to Aqualink pannel / experience random pump stop and restart

    Ok here is a version 3? Does this look right? Moved the heater and pump to a L1/L2 bundle and bridged then from the line in/breaker or the spa blower. Then run the 5v common to the filter line, and vsp medium to the load. Piggyback the line to line on Aux 2 then white vsp to load, and finally...

    wiring review Black and Decker w/ automation to Aqualink pannel / experience random pump stop and restart

    So looking at this now I think it will not work. Since the heater piggyback on the aux 2 "booster" and I am not sure where a safe post is for the vsp wiring. I believe the yellow medium should sit on the 2nd laod terminal on the 1st port pool filter perhaps I can link the heater to the filter...

    Hello all need someone to help me understand if I have wired this right. Could the helpful experts from the forum let me know if this is sound? Following guidance from here I have wired this up. Thanks @gkw4815 1st my previous wiring: Line came into the spa blower 1st then was carried to the...

    Would appreciate suggestions on how to remove old pump union attached to elbow.

    Thanks, yes moving to VSP. So I was hoping to keep the 21/2 to offset anything lost by the 2 45 degree elbows. So do you believe they are not doing that, and is the opinion I would not lose much by cutting it off and using 2 inch pipe and 2 in 45 elbows? I'm not a plumber and wanted to avoid...

    Would appreciate suggestions on how to remove old pump union attached to elbow.

    I have to replace my pump and it seems the builder did not leave me much room. Right now there are 2 1/2 inch 45 degree fittings attached directly to the jandy valve and a short run of 2 1/2 pvc and another 45 to "straighten" it out. If i cut the 2nd fitting off it will shorten the run and...

    Black and Decker Pump automation?

    Thanks again. What replay or model did you buy or was used for the other speeds. For example I see 3HP relays. Fo i need those for the 3HP B/D pump? What is confusing to me, is in your diagram it looks like 4 relays, but maybe that is just my misunderstanding. On my panel I have filter pump...
