    Maytronic dolphin liberty cordless vacuum

    Hello. I was wondering, has anyone had any experience with the cordless dolphin 200 or 400 in an in-ground pool? I see they are coming out with a 600 as well soon. I was even contemplating the corded dolphin Premier or sigma vacuums. I had a cheap cordless robot that lasted 2-3 years and...

    AquaCal heater update - HP9

    It’s a 2 wire. If you have the same heater that I do, then have you upgraded the electrical board in the heater? It has to have the HP9 kit installed. If not, then it will not be able to switch back and forth remotely without putting in codes at the heater. The support team from aquacal was...

    AquaCal heater update - HP9

    Yes, got it to work. When you want to heat, go into the jandy aqua link and push temp to desired temp above what you currently have, probably at least 5 degrees above. If you want to cool, go into iaqua link and drop the chiller temp about 5 degrees below and click the heat pump button on. It...

    AquaCal heater update - HP9

    I am updating my aqua cal heater (SuperQuiet-SQ166R) and adding the new HP9 board so that I can control both heating and cooling from my phone (iaqualink). Currently it is on the 2 -wire function and I can only control heating. I connected the board as the written instructions/video tutorial...

    jandy Pump not running and aquacal heater board upgrade not working

    Thanks for the advise in using the liquid chlorine and stirring the pool water. Having had our pool for the past couple of years, we have been using the TFP method and our pool chemistries have been great. Just worried about it getting out of whack now. Thanks.

    jandy Pump not running and aquacal heater board upgrade not working

    Thanks. Just found the paperwork and it looks like it is still under warranty. I will ask the pool company who installed it to see if they can replace the pump. I wonder do they normally just replace the whole pump that day or will they try to fix it and I will be without a pump to circulate...

    jandy Pump not running and aquacal heater board upgrade not working

    I did a little more diagnostics and although I was getting power to the pump, it seems like the computer board (capacitor) is not allowing power to go through it, which makes me believe the power is not going to motor itself. So it looks like something may be faulty with the capacitor unless...

    jandy Pump not running and aquacal heater board upgrade not working

    I tried to operate pump separate from aqua link and still nothing (no humming or signs of trying to turn on). I tested the pump leads to see if the pump is getting power with my meter and the pump is getting power. I turned off the disconnect breaker at the subpanel to turn off all power to the...

    jandy Pump not running and aquacal heater board upgrade not working

    hi all, My jandy variable pump (2yrs old) is not turning on. I just installed the upgrade HP9 board kit to my aquacal heater to try and get it automated for use by my phone. Heater originally was connected as a 2 wire (only controls heating and not cooling), but I upgraded the heater board so...

    Surge protector for pool equipment

    If I connect the intermatic PS3000 to the 80Amp main disconnect breaker in the pool sub panel, would that provide me with enough coverage if I did get an electrical surge until I have enough time to add a larger sub panel box?

    Surge protector for pool equipment

    Thanks! No, I do not have any available breaker slots left in the pool sub panel. The surge protectors listed in the document you sent seems to be whole house surge protectors versus if I just want to have a surge protector that is only for the pool equipment. Any recommendations? I have...
