Quick question that has been bugging me for years. When the automated valves (via daily schedule) are in between transitioning from POOL and SPA mode (they take about 20-30 seconds to completely transition), will the water flow from the SPA through the pump, over a high loop (higher than the...

In my head this is a simple problem to solve. Why can't Jandy/Pentair/etc have the variable speed pump automatically adjust RPM for solar heating. Or do they already? We already have a supply line temperature probe, I don't see why we can't have a return line temperature probe and set a min/max...

Sooo I was looking into this at some point in the past for a different reason. I didn't want automated valves changing positions at the same time. I wanted one delayed by about 1min and the other not delayed. Never went through with making the modification though. I can't remember the...

It takes 12 hrs of pool pump running at 25gpm (1800rpm) with SWCG running at 100% to maintain chlorine level on covered pool!!! that doesn't sound right? In past summers (owned house since 2018 and all new equipment was installed) I might get up to 95% swcg with 8hrs of pump run time. Around...

Hey all. My Jandy VSP 2.7HP ePUMP VSSHP270AUT (4 years old) is making a weird noise on startup and continues while running, but sometimes lessens after running for a while, or starting and stopping a few times. My uneducated guess/hope is the impeller is unbalanced or has debris in it. I would...

I am working with a Jandy VSP ePUMP VSSHP270AUT 2.7HP and PLC1400 SWCG. Out of curiosity (trying to prove very low speed may have been causing SWCG scaling) I am trying to dial in the RPM of the motor to achieve the 20GPM minimum specified in the manual for the PLC1400 SWCG. So I also...

We moved into our house 4 years ago we had the pool/spa circulation pump replaced with a variable speed pump, but left the old pump that is dedicated to just the spa jets. I did fire it up at that point and it leaked a little in the middle (probably a seal/gasket/etc), but since then we haven't...

Hey there. Curious as to why I keep getting scale build up on the output "grate" side of my Jandy Aquapure PLC1400 cell after only about 2-3 weeks of running. It doesn't seem to build up on the face of the plates themselves but rather just the end-grate that holds the plates in place. Same...

Hey all. I am hoping I have a software configuration problem and not a hardware one. I have an Aqualink hooked up to a Mastertemp 400 which has been working for a few years, then all of a sudden the heater wasn't turning on when called for heat. I verified the heater is working as expected by...

Hello, My pool service guy said to always leave my SWG at 20% for some reason. He may have said something about not wanting to have the chlorine be too high of a percent when it is coming out of the returns for such a small body of water when people are actually in the SPA. Is that relevant at...

I'm a little stumped at this point. All season I have been working with my pool service guys regarding a chlorine generation "issue" with our Jandy AquaPure 1400 Salt Water Generator (SWG). New pump/filter/SWG in Spring of 2018. For the first two years I was able to run the pump at 1600rpm...

I have an spa that is elevated and the water level is about 1.75 feet above my diverter valves. The spa water level is about 3 feet above pool water level. Every time I switch over from spa mode to pool mode (takes about 60 seconds for actuator to switch positions) I lose about 0.25" of water...

Hello! I have an elevated spa with an automatically controlled valve system (with my pool). When the valves (vacuum/source/supply and return/target) change from spa to pool or vice versa the spa loses about 0.5" inches of water (which ends up back in the pool). It takes the valves about 30-40...
