    Max-e-therm: 5Volts only out of fireman’s switch to Jandy controller?

    Hi all, troubleshooting an issue where my max-e-therm won’t turn on via my Jandy controller, I was doing some voltage checks on the two wires coming out of the Max-e-therm and going into the controller and it’s only getting 5v, it’s my understanding that it should be 24v, has anyone seen this...

    External Control of Max-E-Therm, relay - 2 or 3 wire, how does it work?

    Hi All, I'm currently building a custom pool controller using some relays, and I'm trying to figure out the best approach to the Max-E-Therm 400 that I have. I'm reading the documentation and I can do either a 2 wire or 3 wire install. The 2 wire requires the use of the firemans switch (from...

    Best route to upgrade Jandy RS4 to support Intelliflo and Wifi?

    Hi All, I currently have a Jandy RS4 and I'd like to be able to control the pump speed on my Intelliflo and be able to control it all from my phone.

    Hey All, Hoping for some guidance, my Max-E-Therm will not turn on, I took it apart and besides being massively dirty the wires dont look chewed through. I flipped over the top and when the heater gets power about 5 led lights turn red simultaneously and then turn off. The display on the top...

    85-90 CYA in a SWG Pool?

    Hi All, I'm still a bit of a noob at reading the CYA chem test but I think that in my SWG pool my CYA is sitting between 85-90. I know that the recommended level is 70-80. Is this discrepancy enough to worry about or should I dump water? I suppose I could try to maintain a slightly higher FC...

    Hayward Goldline AQR15 with Pentair 011018 IntelliFlo

    Hi, I've got a 12k gallon pool and I'm looking at the AQR15. I currently have the Pentair IntelliFlo and use the built-in timer, how do I hook this up to the Goldline? I think that the salt cell has a flow switch that could work but I would be worried that it could break over time?

    Easier way to test chlorine when maintaining higher FC

    Hi All, i was curious how those of you who keep a higher FC test? do you test daily and if so do you have another method other than the fas-dpd test? I feel that it’s a waste of test chemicals to keep using it daily. Thanks!! Jon

    Hi Guys, I'm new to all this and trying to figure out what this is, it's leaking a decent ammount, looks like from the top so maybe its an o-ring, but before I take everything apart i'd like to figure out what it is first to either get replacement parts or just figure out if im going to simply...

    Downsizing from 2HP single speed to 1.5HP VS motor

    Hi All, So I currently have a single speed 2HP 3450 RPM motor. My pool is pretty small at 12,000 gallons with a built in spa (that has some jets) that 'spills-over' into the pool. I've calculated that I probably need about 25GPM to cycle the water over an 8 hour period and I *think* i have...
