Appreciate the input. I’ll talk to him tomorrow and propose we try the extra valve. Easy enough to just open it and see if we get flow to the spa. Like I said the weird thing is he swears he didn’t touch anything and that it was working fine a few days ago. But he also had younger kids so...

New pics. Ok, after going back over and taking a few pics, here's a correction to my original post as there is an additional valve downstream of the pool return. You can see in the pics that from the GVA24 automation valve the spa side is a straight run but the pool side splits and has a...

That's kind of what I was thinking but I don't see anything like that and there's not an additional valve as far as I can tell. Essentially its pump to GVA24 then a T with one side to the spa and one to the pool. I told him to call his builder and ask also. He's been busy since I posted so I...

He's not the most computer savvy guy, so I'll ask him to join but it may be me posting the pics. I can say 90% its not a filter problem as he is using a freshly cleaned set of filters. His filter pressure gauge is acting up and reading 30 at zero psi. We pulled the filters and ran the pump...

My neighbor asked me to come take a look at this pool this morning as he was having some issues with weird flow. I hadn't seen his equipment setup before so when I first got there I asked him to cycle everything a few times so I could see how everything worked so I missed actually seeing what...

Thanks. Ignoring the discussion about the continuum transfunctioner and other mysterious and powerful esoteric upgrades for actuators, the basic information is pretty useful. I'll make a couple of notes to summarize a few things: 1. The 24 VAC is simple 24 VAC (single phase). The first question...

@swiedom, Woke up this morning to a partially drained hot tub, so I've been doing a little research on actuators this morning. I have a couple of issues one of which appears to be limit switch related (valve is only turning about 170 degrees) and one is gears as I notice the valve stops turning...

Allen, Added signature like you recommended. I can see that would make it easy for people to figure out what I'm dealing with. The pump main power is on a relay and there is a adapter box to set one of the three speed which are programmed on the pump side. I could probably just run the SWG on...

Ok, thinking about it a bit more, it probably does make better sense to just relay the main power. Will need to order a relay module for the Aqualink I guess.

Appreciate the input and I get the safety concern. Not trying to downplay, but my gut says hard booting the controller every day might be an issue for longevity of the electronics? I haven't investigated the flow switch circuit, but I'm guessing its a basic open/closed behavior electrically? If...

TFP members, Recently registered, but have lurked here for some good info on maintaining my first pool. I wanted to share the feedback I got from DiscountSaltPool tech today. I did some googling and searching here and didn't find a thread that covered this info specifically so figured I'd...
