Thanks for the thoughts on this topic. I was not able to turn on any led lights, since the controller was never actually working. After messing with the splicing, I got better voltage readings (38V) at the distant end. To get this result, I removed the jelly beans from the wires and did the...

Thanks for the responses. I am headed home to do a little more troubleshooting. I'll pass along what I find out... and maybe even some success!

Hello Forum! As part of a kitchen remodel, I wanted to move the ET ICP from the laundry room to the slider closest to the pool. I provided the wire (RJ11 phone line, 100 ft) and the contractor ran the wire to the wall and left the remainder in the attic. I ran the wire through the attic and...

Well. I apparently purchased (intentionally and unwittingly) the "single body" version which (as I read in another thread) has the intake and return slots powered on but disabled. I verified that each of the intake and return pin-outs are getting power (24V between the left two pins), but the...

Hi pherring- Have you had any luck with this? I have a similar situation, but my intake/return valve slots have yet to work. I can plug them into the a/b slots which then activate the valves. If it matters, the valves are Jandy CVA-24 (no "T"). This is a recent upgraded EasyTouch, so my...

An update on the thread: I decided to go with the Pentair Intelliflo (011018) pump based on an acquaintance who is "in the business". Picked up the pump, Easy Touch 8 load center-single body, and Indoor Control Panel from the web (good experience with this particular vendor). We have the old...

Thanks for the feedback. I have read that replacing parts for the vacuum is straightforward. Thanks for the rough estimates on the cost of different options for cleaning equipment. If I have any trouble with replacement parts, I'll be sure to get a hold of you. The pump doesn't appear to...

Hi Folks, Thanks to all the contributors who have made this site a treasure trove of knowledge. It certainly didn't happen overnight, so thanks!! Like many, I have bought a house that came with a pool. I am just learning and applying some experience with spas. Also, like others, I am...

How did this work out for you, @genepool? I have the same old motor (SQ1202) which runs us about $75 per month in So. Cal. I am curious if you noticed a marked decrease in your electric bill even after replacing with the same model... just a couple of decades newer. In any case, we are...
