My current Aqualink controller is no longer functioning correctly. It will randomly (now practically daily) lose all program memory and/or time date memory. Sometimes is will lock up with all the lights lit up on the interface panel, or lock up with no lights or display at all. Totally unreliable to use any schedule for SWG, we don't bother attempting programming anymore and just turn it on manually each day.
I emailed the Jandy repair guy in Santa Rosa who told me repair of my sypmtoms is possible for $150.
I am aware of the "upgrade kit" that would upgrade my board and also get me on wifi instead of the dumb PDA.
Third option: If i have to sink some money into an upgrade, am I better off upgrading the Jandy, or switching to a different brand like Hayward or Pentair?
Fourth option: Get a standalone SWG such as Circupool with some other automation or go oldschool with mechanical timers/relay.
Equipment:
My pool is approx 20K gal.
2 speed Jandy pump
Jandy 1400 SWG cell. - supposidly 40k gal rated, 1.25lb per day
waterfall valve
pool light
cleaner booster pump-but no longer used since upgraded to robot.
I currently run SWG at 100% for 10-12 hours a day to maintain chlorine levels. One thing that appeals to me about the Circupool is they have size's rated up to 3lb per day, vs my current 1.25. Is my logic correct that larger would produce more chlorine with less pump run time?
I am not a fan of the PDA and would love to upgrade to the wifi with android app. Ive read its cloud based and occasionally has issues? hopefully someone has experince and can weigh in here.
Looked into AqualinkD project and this also looks like a solid option to possibly incorperate. Not sure since I have a bad board currently though...
My research has concluded that some love jandy and others hate it. I am on the fence because mine has been a PITA ever since I bought the house and parts seem expensive.
Any opinions regarding how to best repair or upgrade is appreciated. I am just trying to decide rather I stay Jandy and repair/upgrade or leave jandy and go with something else that will serve better down the road.
Thank you
