My Pool mode is spill over, it has pool intake and splits the discharge to mainly pool and a small amount of Spa. The spill over from the Spa to the pool is a waterfall that looks better with full flow over the waterfall created by a true Spa Fill mode where water is only returning via the Spa...

For different reasons I wanted to control the Spa Drain and Spa Fill functions of my pool with Jandy RS automation. In Pool Mode the valves have the suction and discharge routed to the pool in Spa Mode the valves have the suction and discharge routed to the SPA. Jandy valves use 3 wires 1...

Thank you for the information. I think we are on slightly different pages in our communication. While all JVAs may be assigned an Aux the Aux may be activated independently/directly without involving a JVA. So my original question was about why you chose to use the JVA output and not Aux...

Moved from here... Hooking Automatic Irrigation Valve to Jandy PDA I am doing some automation where I plan on using a Jandy Aux to pull in a 24 v relay coil. May I ask why you assigned the Aux to a JVA and used the JVA connection instead of directly connecting the sprinkler valve to an Aux...

I have had the Solar Chlor XT in my pool/spa for 3 months. Based on long term experience I believed it was generating a small amount of chlorine but I did not have any quantitative evidence. To get a quanity estimate I performed 1 1 day experiment. I isolated my SPA from my pool and stopped...

Update - found math error, reposting later

As an update I have found Jandy sells a Jandy 2-in-1 Backwash Valve with NeverLube® Technology. ... The Jandy Pro Series Backwash Valvefeatures a straight-through, full-flow port design that optimizes flow and hydraulic efficiency. ... A versatile valve, it connects to the Jandy Pro Series DEV...

thank you for the feedback

Hi JD Have measured with FAS DPD 3 times the 2 daytime readings were stable at FC 9.5 and we had received another .5 inch of rain overnight in between readings. I did an overnight chlorine loss test and the level decreased overnight from 9.5 to 9.0 ppm (no rain on that overnight) I took a...

Hi All I have now completed testing with FAS DPD kit my situation is as follows FC 9.5 CC .5 CYA 25 (using test strips) I did an overnight chlorine loss test and the level decreased overnight from 9.5 to 9.0 ppm I took a reading at 7pm after sun went down and at 7am sun had been up for 30...

thank you for the feedback. I have ordered a FAS DPD test kit and will report back on the results.

Hi JD, I appreciate your keeping a high bar for the integrity of the posts. I certainly am only doing this to share experience and have no desire to mislead anyone. I have ordered a Taylor FAS/DPD testing kit to be able to perform more accurate measurements and I will post results when I...

Hi JD, thanks for the interest. This is just an informal sharing experiment for me. I had the opportunity to purchase the XT at what I thought was a low price and I thought that it could contribute to my chlorine levels and reduce the need to run my pump. After I purchased the unit I read...

when I say tablets I mean 3" diameter chlorine pucks. keeping (2 - 4 ) 3 inch tablets in my skimmer basket was keeping my chlorine levels in my target range. I decided to go to go with a salt water generator and there have been no tablets since the 1st of Feb just the XT.

Hi I measure my FC level with Millard 5 way test strips and OTO drops. Both indicate over 10ppm free chlorine. The XT is the only source of Chlorine in pool or spa at this time. The spa is integrated with the pool and water circulates between the two. The SPA is a 6 ft diameter circle 4ft...
