I upgraded the living room setup to a 5.1.2 Atmos setup when we put in the pool. At the time, I took the older Harman Kardon (5.1 Dolby digital) receiver for the pool speakers. My laundry room is on the outside wall, so I installed a shelf and wall plates in that room. I ran speaker wires (and...

I just had 2 replaced (out of 3). They were replaced under warranty. I asked the warranty company if my lights had any issues (or install issues). The tech said that he didn't see any issues with them. He said they have been replacing a lot of them lately (for no real reason). My first light...

Where did you purchase everything?

Has anyone used a Polk outdoor subwoofer (link below)? I have a 3 - Polk Atrium 8 speakers around the pool now. They sound pretty good, but lack low end response. I'm thinking about getting one of these to add to the setup...

I keep looking, but delivery isn't an option this year for my area.

I read a lot of issues with the Aquapure. It looks like the Hayward has many issues as well. What seems to be the most reliable? I'm between the Aqualink, Hayward, and Circupool right now.

Seems to be different from what I've read on this site.

I don't have a spare AUX (not relay). I assume you need to control the spare relay with an AUX.

How did you set the relay to turn it off in Spa Mode? Do you need a free relay?

iAqualink is only the interface (app, web) to the Aqualink RS control board.

You should be able to use the Hayward Aquarite system as well. You need a chlorine translator to tie it to the Aqualink system. I've been researching the options. The Jandy SWG systems seem unreliable. https://www.chlorinatortranslator.com/index.html

I was hoping I could leave the bubblers at about 25%, but it defeats the purpose. With my current VSP set at 1300rpms, it creates air in the plumbing. The bubblers are not automated, so I'd have to manually switch them over. During the summer, I cycle the water feature (sheer descent) about...

I guess I'll just cycle the bubbler valve once a week. What's the negative with stagnant water in one pipe? I would think the chlorine would kill anything as it's cycled.

For the shelf bubblers, I tried to reduce it to a minimum flow. What I found was that it creates air pockets somewhere in the plumbing. The standard return jets had a constant stream of small air bubbles with the bubblers at a low flow. With them all the way on or all the way off, I don't get...

I have a couple of items I want to close off via Jandy valves. One is my bubblers to reduce pH rise. The second is the gas heater during the summer. The water in those areas would be stagnant from sitting. How often should you circulate the water in areas that you shut off?
