    Max-e-therm: 5Volts only out of fireman’s switch to Jandy controller?

    I made an assumption here that I was using the fireman’s switch, I just double checked and it’s going direct to the board, I did a check there and it’s only 5V coming from the board direct

    Max-e-therm: 5Volts only out of fireman’s switch to Jandy controller?

    Ya I checked the voltage between the two from common to spa and it’s 5V and and then i checked against ground and it’s also 5V, the buttons are operating still, I’m wondering if I flip the jumper to disable the buttons if it will maybe fix this

    Max-e-therm: 5Volts only out of fireman’s switch to Jandy controller?

    Hi all, troubleshooting an issue where my max-e-therm won’t turn on via my Jandy controller, I was doing some voltage checks on the two wires coming out of the Max-e-therm and going into the controller and it’s only getting 5v, it’s my understanding that it should be 24v, has anyone seen this...

    External Control of Max-E-Therm, relay - 2 or 3 wire, how does it work?

    Hi All, I'm currently building a custom pool controller using some relays, and I'm trying to figure out the best approach to the Max-E-Therm 400 that I have. I'm reading the documentation and I can do either a 2 wire or 3 wire install. The 2 wire requires the use of the firemans switch (from...

    Best route to upgrade Jandy RS4 to support Intelliflo and Wifi?

    Hi All, I currently have a Jandy RS4 and I'd like to be able to control the pump speed on my Intelliflo and be able to control it all from my phone. I know there is a "Jandy iAqualink 2.0" upgrade of some sort but I'm not sure if that only adds wifi or if it will also let me be able to control...

    Sta-Rite Max-E-Therm not turning on but is getting power (SR400NA)

    Hey All, Hoping for some guidance, my Max-E-Therm will not turn on, I took it apart and besides being massively dirty the wires dont look chewed through. I flipped over the top and when the heater gets power about 5 led lights turn red simultaneously and then turn off. The display on the top...

    85-90 CYA in a SWG Pool?

    Hi All, I'm still a bit of a noob at reading the CYA chem test but I think that in my SWG pool my CYA is sitting between 85-90. I know that the recommended level is 70-80. Is this discrepancy enough to worry about or should I dump water? I suppose I could try to maintain a slightly higher FC...
