Hi everyone, I am in the EARLY stages of trying to get AqualinkD running so I can connect, monitor, etc. with Home Assistant. I got the recommended USB adaptor and can get data to show on it when running this script in the instructions - "sudo -s eval 'stty raw -echo < /dev/ttyUSB0; cat -vte...

Hi everyone, I just opened my pool today and was just trying to get ahead of any issues. Long story short, we were having "No Flow" issues last year and actually got our Jandy 1400 SWC replaced later in the season last year. Opened the pool today and am I am seeing the same message, No Flow...

Hi everyone, This weekend I tried to change the temp via the iAqualink app on my heater and it did not work. On/off for the heater is fine, but changing the temp via the app did not work so I had to change it on the heater itself. Is this a known issue or has this been solved? In looking at old...

Hi everyone, When my pool was built, they wired the two lights we have separately in iAqualink which I think I would like to change. The issue is, if I want them both synced, I need to first, switch to the color scene I want on both, shut them off for a min or two, then turn them back on so they...

Hi everyone, From what I understand, the only way to prevent my VSP pump from stopping completely when a power outage occurs is to set up schedules to have it come on at various times. Please correct me if that is not the case. With that, I have 4 schedules set, filter on and off from...

Hi everyone, I am having an issue with my salt cell keeping up with chlorine production. Just as some backstory, the cell/pool is two years old and I almost never set it higher than 30% in the hottest of months and it was great. Earlier this year I noticed some cloudy water, etc. and finally...

Hi everyone, I have a Jandy VSP pump, model VSFHP165JEP and I also have the Jandy RS6 automation system. I have tried it in Auto, Service, and Time mode and no matter what I do, there is nothing on my Pump display. I was hoping to be able to adjust via the pump. Is there any trick to getting my...

Hi everyone After yesterdays iAqualink outage, it got me thinking about how I can bypass the need for the iAqualink to be connected online to their service. I already have Home Assistant running on a Pi and I was wondering if/how I can use HA to control the iAqualink locally vs connected. If...

Hi everyone, I have a Jandy AquaPure 1400 SWC that is giving me a intermittent low message. I just noticed it after I pretty much had zero FC left, so I am trying to fix it ASAP. I cleaned off the sensors (they seemed fine), SWC has no build up, etc. I run the VSP at 1200 24/7 and normally have...

Hi everyone, I just backwashed my DE filter after I saw it was roughly 8-10% higher than the clean PSI. After I backwashed (2x), I had to up the PSI clean setting just a tad to about 14 PSI. Does that sound about right or is there no real common PSI clean setting? Its a DE6020 which says it is...

Hi Everyone, I have a first time problem that I am REALLY hoping you can help fix. In a nutshell, I lose prime/air in pump as soon I turn up the pump higher than 1200RPM ONLY in one skimmer. Here is the course of events that happened. 1. We had some work done to the decking which created a lot...

Hi Everyone, I opened my pool about 2 weeks ago and so far things have been good but I had a question on CC. We just got a bunch of rain on the last few days and with that a bunch of worms, etc. got into the pool. Combined that with spring time trees dropping a lot of leaves but I have the...

Hi everyone. I am going to close my pool for the first time tomorrow and I was thinking about the best way to install the solid anchor cover. Right now, it is laying out in the yard so I can clean it and my thought was to roll it up and slowly unroll it, connecting every other latch until it is...

Hi, I am getting ready to close my pool for the first time and I had a question about polyquat 60 and SLAM. Is there an advantage/disadvantage of using polyquat 60 vs full SLAM? From what I have been told, it is half SLAM levels and polyquat 60 or no poly and full SLAM. I am trying to understand...

Hi everyone, I am a new pool owner (pool was installed last year) and last year, the pool builder closed the pool for me. This year, I want to take this on. I am doing as much research as possible, following the TFP closing guide, etc. and I had a few questions that I am hoping you can answer...

Hi everyone, I am on my 2nd year of owning a new pool and I have an issue with my Jandy AquaPure PLC1400 showing no flow messages on the status page of the iAqualink app from time to time. Long story short, last year I was running my VSP pump 24 hours a day on low...like 1200. I had my chlorine...

Hi everyone, I am in my 2nd year of new pool ownership and I had a question. We run our pump 24/7 at 1200rpm. Salt system seems fine with no flow errors, etc. Last year, I could have swore I did not set my SWC more than 30% and I was good on FC. I went back and looked and I was well over 5...

Hi everyone, I have a question on determining the best, more accurate temp reading for my pool. I have the iAqualink system and the temp reading is 64. My heater says 72 on its display. When I dip a waterproof cooking thermometer into the pool, it reads 70.3. My cleaning robot says something...

Hi Everyone, I run my VSP at a low speed most of the time, 24/7. For whatever reason, if turn on my pump on high for a little bit, bubbles come out of both of the returns for maybe 15-20 seconds and then go away. Any idea why that would happen when I turn my pump on high only? No bubbles show...

Hi, I run my pump 24/7 at a lower speed. I just had a power outage and noticed that if I did not manually turn the pump back on via the app after power was restored, it would not go on automatically. It got me thinking that if I am ever away from the house and we lose power, I would need to be...

Hi Everyone...I just put an order in for the Betta II skimmer robot. It got me thinking that IF the robot does a good job of cleaning the surface of the pool, is there any reason to turn my VSP up on a daily basis as long as the speed satisfies the SWG and heater? Right now I have the pump turn...

Hi everyone, I am trying to understand why something happened today and I thought the group may be able to help out. Last night we got a bunch of rain so this morning I went out, shut off the pump, switch the valve to Waste, and turned the pump back on. I let the water get down to a lower level...

Hi everyone. We opened up the pool this week and I think I have my levels mostly under control. Here they are for reference: FC - 1.5 PH - 7.8 TA - 90 CYA - 40 Salt - 3200 Water Temp - 58 (but it is going to drop starting today) I know my TA is a tad high and my CYA is a tad low but my...

Hi everyone, I have an iAqualink 2.0 system and I had a few questions... 1. Can I set a OneTouch button to change lights to a certain color or scene? 2. I am using Hayward Lights which don't match to the Jandy system. For example, Jandy's scene is called USA but the Hayward is blue. Is there a...

Hi Everyone, first I hope I am posting this in the correct spot. So I am opening my pool for the first time...there is currently a hose filling up the pool to at least halfway along the skimmer line. Winter plugs are out, but no lines are open yet. I have all that gross worm sludge in my...

Hi everyone. I am heading into the first full year that I have owned a pool so I have never opened it before. With the warmer weather coming in (I am in SE PA), I am getting anxious to open the pool. Yesterday I pulled a little bit of our solid cover back and used a digital probe thermometer and...

Hi everyone, I am going to be opening my pool in the next month or so (I think) for the first time. Does anyone have any good cleaning steps when opening a pool? I have never done this before but I am guessing it will be dirty and I will need to do some deep cleaning. Anyone have a good guide...

Hi Everyone, This is my first time opening up our new pool installed last year. With all the drama around getting materials, etc. last year, I would like to get a jump start on getting chemicals needed for opening the pool. We have a roughly 25k. SWC pool and I am curious is anyone can give me a...

Hi Everyone, I have a question about my pool cover pump and ice. We live in PA where we can go from 60 to 20 in hours, especially if a cold front comes in. I am having an issue where my pump is locked into a block of ice on top of the pool cover. I have the Little Giant pump where I think it...

Hi everyone, before we close the pool and they drill the cover locks into the decking, I am going to seal the pool deck. I have a light colored (sand color) brushed cantilever deck. I have seen on the boards to use bleach and that makes sense, but what about the plastic deck joints? Will they...
