    Great stuff guys. I'll dig in later this week and see if any (or all) of these do the trick.

    Jandy Valve Actuator Needs a Nudge...

    I have 2 older (circa 2010) JVA2444's. TBH, I'm guessing they are 2444's since the labels are gone. The JVA return works flawless, no issues. The JVA suction works 98% of the time. The 2% is when I wait a few weeks in between using the spa. Turning the spa on, the valve will switch correctly...

    Symptom - Heater won't turn off. Problem - Aqualink?

    Final note. I replaced the Cat5 wire from the heater to the Aqualink. I used thermostat cable (4 conductor, solid core, sunlight resistant sheath) as RS485 instead of fireman's switch. Heater immediately recognized RS485 connection. Tested the ability to turn off and on at the panel and it...

    I have an Aqualink RS (installed 2010) running a Jandy VSP (installed 2023) and JXi Heater (installed 2022). Everything has been working great this season until this morning... I noticed the pool did not cool down overnight. I checked and the heater was going (not fun on a Texas summer day)...
