Jandy RS8 and a heater bypass

[jobybett]

Hi, I have a Jandy RS8 with IAqualink, I’ve just changed my pool heater (Raypak AVIA 404, using the Fireman’s switch) and added a bypass to the plumbing, did not think it all they way through… how do I connect an actuator to the RS8 so that it automatically bypasses the heater when the heat mode is off?

The RS8 has 4 ports for actuators, 2 are in use for pool/spa to and from

Thanks

The Aqualink cannot do that.

Jandy sells their JXI heater with an optional Versaflo bypass. Jandy wants you to get their heater and the Versaflo.

Boo ok thanks, after reading the manual I thought that might be the case, guess it’s time to write my own automation for it. Maybe I can write some code that listens to the fireman’s switch and control the actuator myself.
